Yeah I've been perusing the bypass forums, and they're dead. I can't find one crazy lunatic over there. They must all be in hibernation.

I like the new site for 1 reason, I spent almost a year on VST before becoming a traitor and getting RNY lol now I dont have to flip back and forth to keep up on everything lol not that I have made a lot of friends but I do enjoy the personalities on the sleeve forum :)

O btw the band has never ever been a thought for me :)

We have several former sleevers that converted to RnY and stick around on the sleeve forum.

I asked for them to please stay because their stories are important.. So post away girlie :)

We only like them cause they dump and we don't. :P

Then you'll love me cuz I'm the queen of dumping. One of the lucky few. (Seriously, NOBODY. Dumps....I dump off everything carbish.)

If your looking for RNY drama, look up the threads 'negativity' and 'the count down begins for boob job'. Those are the last 2 really stupid moments I remember. Sometimes you just have to step back and think WTF???

Everyone has to decide themselves but they should talk to revision patients. Band 10 years of struggles and still being obese. Sleeve only 2 years but much much better tool. I think many surgeons are backing away from band.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
