I know I have been in here saying I have done the liquid protien shake diet before with my lap band, and it gets easier as you move through it. However, day three and I are not friends. I feel weak as heck, and I was only 30 minutes late with my second shake today and truly thought I was going to pass out while caring for a patient earlier today. So was I wrong? Obviously day three is not the magic day. What day did you start to feel better on your pre-op diet? It kind of scares me because I have the 2 week pre-op diet, then after surgery it is a month of liquids, followed by a month of purée, then a month of soft foods until I reach normal foods after that.

My mom is the same way. She worries Bout the what if's. and I appreciate that, but I currently do not have any co-morbidities. I know if I don't so this I will develop diabetes. My whole family has it. I need to keep these things under control now and not get them while I can. The other things that may or may not come up I will handle one step at a time.

I am doing the chocolate splendor from Unjury. It is the only one I can tolerate.

Thank you do much. This makes me feel so much better!

How was healing with the sleeve compared to the lap band. I am in the same boat and being sleeved soon. This is the one thing that is really making me nervous. I was up and shopping two days post op with the band, and now I fear that I won't be able to do anything for a week after sleeving.

That is awesome!!

I am currently doing my 2 week pre-op all protien shake diet. I found that I like Unjury chocolate shakes. I am one of the rare ones that did not like the Premier Protien. I found it too swee. To me, the Unjury Chocolate tastes like chocolate milk.

How do you feel tonight? I started my pre-op shakes and will admit, I had the worst headache by nighttime. I woke up with it still, but by 11:00 this morning, I was feeling great!! Just wanted to let you know that if you feel bad now, it will get better!!!

I am so glad to see this post. I too am doing a band to sleeve revision. My surgery is June 10th. Thank you to everyone who posted how well they are doing! It makes me feel calmer about this surgery.

Congratulations!! It feels so good to know that it is actually going to happen doesn't it?!

I had a similar situation. I decided to have lap band surgery and I only told one person. By the end of the week, multiple people I worked with were asking me about it. Luckily everyone was supportive. The friend I told initially, it turns out she did not believe in weightloss surgery and thought it was unneccessary. I can say we no longer speak now.

Start my liquid diet on Memorial Day!!

What are you not loving?!?! You look great!

That is such an amazing journey! You should be so proud of all you worked to accomplished. It is inspiring.

I am also a band to sleeve revision on 6/10! So excited. I am not looking forward to the pre-op diet, but that is a small hurdle. I am in Cincinnati with Dr. Brad Watkins.

Cms 213 Well, by the time I got to the appointment I was able to relax myself quite a bit. B/P was 117/84. That was good! CMS213, wow! Your body was definitely working for to have this. I am glad it worked put for you!

People teasing you with food is just outright rude! You need to be surrounding yourself with people who will support you. It will get easier.

I am not on meds. My blood pressure is usually 110/70ish. Today it was 166/95! Yikes. It has come down some though. That is a good thing. Last time I took it it was 149/84.

I think I am going to start doing the same. I hope it keeps me out of "mean mode". The last time I had to do it my best friend pointed out I wasn't exactly pleasant during the first few days. Just remember after 3-4 days you get used to it.

So today is my pre-op with my PCP and my EKG. I know it is nothing to worry about, but I so excited to have this surgery that I am freaking myself out! I am so worried she will find something that my blood pressure is higher than ever. I know I will be fine, but I having some jitters about this. I almost feel like am idiot.

I know we are so close, but it still seems so far away. I had the lap band and they now I am being converted to the sleeve, so I have done the liquid diet before. It SUCKS the first few days, but it gets easier. I will be starting mine on Memorial Day. And I will be in the car driving back from North Carolina for 8 of those hours. With three kids in the back seat. Should be interesting to say the least.

Hi Domini!! I am getting sleeved June 10th also! And I am also a nurse. I am so nervous and so excited all at the same time! I can't wait for the next step in our journey!

Me!!! Dr Watkins and I are scheduled to have surgery June 10th!
