I can't offer much, I'm only 10 days post op but originally that is what I wanted. After research I decided against the band due to complications, always getting fills, and having a foreign object. The first doctor I went to was opposite as yours. I wanted sleeve by that point he suggested band but was willing, I found a new surgeon as the only reason was band was that surgeon's specialty. I researched alot on here and after my initial thoughts band was never an option. Keep reading and be sure to ask the people who had band to sleeve revision Also to had there are success stories with the band for me though sleeve was the better option.

Maybe a silly question but I'm 7 days post op. Should I be looking for a normal poop. I have basically a very watered down version and figured it's normal since I've only had liquids. It's not volcano by any means but more just water not too much as in dehydration

I was sleeved Wed and today the soreness is practically gone. Yesterday I was still very sore. And yes easier

I am only on liquids. Think I'm not getting enough in is all.

How long did everyone feel nauseous afterwards. My surgery was on Wed and I think I'm doing well except the nausea and tenderness bothers me.

I guess I'm going to losers bench now surgery went well it's the nausea that is bothering me. Overall I feel good thanks all

Surgery went well nausea is the only thing that's getting to me a bit

Thanks you too and I will update. I think now my nerves are more for after surgery and my new life...

I am so anxious and nervous but excited. I have to be at the hospital at 5am and surgery is 7:30am. Not sure what I want to say here just felt like posting before bed. Thank you everyone for your posts and stories. It really has helped me prep and make the choice.

Southside, you?

Hi @@jane13 I believe we both used Dr. Uchal no? I wasn't concerned with the cut off time more so amount i.e how much crystal light. I will call to make sure. Thanks!!

I don't think it matters but I never asked at the docs office. For the liquid diet I have to follow today for surgery Wednesday it just says 9am - Crystal light. There isn't a set amount or limit right? I tend to drink that and Water by the gallon. I assume the more the better but figure better safe that sorry! Thanks!

I just posted a similar thread subscribing here too thanks

I'm not the best chef so the recipes I've made from my NUT have been delicious so far. Surgery is Wednesday (nerves high) and I know I have to drink shakes although I'm not a huge fan. Figured I'd post here for some full liquid and puree recipes or ideas other than Protein shakes. More so the full liquids I would say. Thanks all.
