I'm also from Texas, I'm getting a revision Lap Band to Sleeve on Oct 16. My pre op diet is 2 shakes 1 meal and liquids only on day before surgery. Not bad at all ????

what area of Texas are you from if you dont mind me asking? I'm getting sleeved on the 13th in Mcallen Tx. My Dr only requested 1 day before to eat light. 1 boiled egg and toast with no butter for Breakfast , for lunch and dinner only Clear Liquids and at 2pm I have to start drinking the bottle of magnesium citrate to clear my intestines (not so excited about that lol)

I am scheduled for November 4th.

Your pre-op diet is what I am doing, but for a full two weeks.

It is so crazy how different they all are. I am just hoping to get used to smaller portions.

@@sleevemylife I am in San Antonio TX Low BMI - lapband did not work for me so I am looking forward to stop all the chronic complications I have put myself through by revising to the sleeve.

I am having surgery on the 13th and my surgeon said no preop diet for me either. I meet for preop on Monday and see if she had any further instruction.

What shakes or clear liquids do you all like? I have found a few now.

I like the low sodium chicken broth and today I found a beef broth that has roasted garlic and onion taste. It is a Safeway brand, but needed something different since Ive been on chicken broth for a week now.

ahh man! Yeah I've seen so many people from different states on social media but never any close to me. Wish I had someone that's been through all this for support and help but this will do for now

Thank you for the input! I bought Unjury the other day.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
