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.

    Surgery is on Wednesday and my 2yo just got a cold. They won't do surgery if I am sick, so fingers crossed I don't catch it!! I'm taking EmergenC and washing my hands constantly. Uggghh.
