You will need Protein to burn fat. They do the liquid diet so u lose some weight and shrink your liver prior to surgery. Definitely try the isopure!

hi :) I will be sleeved on 10/5! I am on day 9 of full liquids. I had same issue with Protein Shakes from all of the dairy (vomiting etc)...I called my nutritionist and dr....ended up mixing Bariatric Advantage shakes with Water instead. And using diluted Isopure. Isopure also has the whey protein in it, but for some reason I can tolerate it diluted. Might help you also? Good luck!

My surgery date is Friday, October 14th. I'm a bundle of emotions, but mainly great anticipation about my future. I had my Lapband removed two weeks ago and required very little rest or pain management . I had the surgery on Friday and went back to school on Monday.

I wonder if anyone can give their opinion on the recovery of the two surgeries? I'm hoping for similar results. Is that realistic?

I had the conversion surgery on 9/27 but the removal of the band and creation of the sleeve was done in one procedure. For me the recovery was much more difficult from the sleeve than the band.

With the band I walked laps around that hospital right after my surgery. I wasn't really in pain, it just felt like about day. With the sleeve it took over a day and a half to get me to walk 50 steps because I was in soooo much pain. I was weak and tired and now on day 4 it's gotten a better with only incision sorenesss but I'm still exhausted.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
