    @@ElleJ I too had adhesions. I prayed everyday on my pre op! You can do it! Lots of fluids!

    @@bkskinny, omg! I never thought I would wake up sleeveless... I was heartbroken and depressed for weeks. My best friend found my new surgeon. He is 100% comfy with dealing with adhesions and said if he needs to he will take them down. He is also a liver specialist, so if there are any issues with my liver he showing be able to handle it ( him and God, that is).

    I will take your advice- lots of fluids!

    Thank you :)

    Today begins my two week liquid diet. I was excited until I woke up this morning hungry lol! I'm going to do my best to stick to the program and not cheat. My liver really needs to shrink because I am a revision (band to sleeve) patient and my liver and stomach are stuck together from scar tissue... I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I'm hoping for the best!

    You can do this! I'm on day 10 of my pre op diet and if I can get through this without a "cheat", you sure can! I also a revision patient.

    Just keep reminding yourself that it's not worth it.

    You want to set yourself up for success and you don't succeed if you start out by finding ways to sneak around the rules. It hasn't been easy, but when my stomach is growling, I remember why I am doing it. Drinking lots of extra fluids help fool an empty stomach too.

    Good luck!

    thank you @!

    Yes, that's what I'm focusing on...the end result. I've already awakened once "sleeveless" because the surgeon felt my scar tissue was too excessive to get around. He told me to wait a year or two for new techniques to become available. I was beyond devastated!

    So, this go round will be by the "book" to the best of my ability...

    Thanks for the good wishes. Heading to get my Protein Shake now :)

    So days 1-4of the pre op diet i was irritable. Days 5-10 i was fine. It's now day 11 and i woke up in such a bad mood. I feel frustrated that people get to eat regular stuff while I'm drinking these stupid shakes. I'm sure this feeling will pass but I'm def in a mood today.

    It will pass...you are so close, it's not even funny!!! I'm 24 days out, start my liquid diet on 10/12 and it's not coming soon enough!

    It's not easy. When I had the band I cheated throughout the two week liquid diet phase. Now with me getting a revision and getting sleeved, I'm taking it so much more serious this go round. My liquids start on 10/12 and I'm going shopping this weekend to get a variety of things ( in compliance) so that I don't get bored. We can do this! It's not fun and I'll be whining in a few weeks but remind me of what I said, ok? Lol!

    So many of us feel the same way. I was banded in 2006 and was scheduled for a revision to the sleeve in May 2016. I woke up bandless and sleeveless due to adhesions. I have a new surgeon who will be doing my sleeve on Oct 2016. I'm so very scared but more scared not to... It's normal...ask as many questions about HIS mortality rate, research online what you can about him and most importantly compliance is key... I told myself the same things I'm saying to you :)

    All the best!
