My surgeon said I don't have to do it as my BMI is under 35 but I remember it from being banded. Boredom was my biggest issue so a variety of flavours is helpful.

My BMI is 29 and my revision surgery is on the 25th, but I still have to do the liquid diet. My surgeon said this had nothing to do with my current weight or BMI, but instead is to ensure my liver is as healthy as possible and not enlarged for the surgery as this gives the best outcome. I'm in Sydney Australia, so maybe we do things differently down here?

I kind of wondered about that as when I had it done in 2009 I also didn't have to do it for the same reason but I had a really difficult recovery with a lot of liver inflammation after my surgery. I am actually thinking about doing it for a week anyways just so that I can shrink the liver down and hopefully have an easier recovery than I did last time.

Hi everyone! I made it to the loser's bench!!! All went well. I did wake up in lots of pain. Nurse gave me morphine and I started feeling better. I did have some nausea but it cleared. No gas pain yet (I'm knocking on wood it stays that way!).

Good luck to all the May 2nd sleevers!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
