Surgery on Thursday!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I am having my band removed and having the sleeve procedure. Any advice? I am already sick of the Protein Shakes for the pre-op diet. Any shakes out there that are delicious? I am starving! Any advice for after surgery? I am taking one week off from work and i am a road warrior. Will start travel again after 3 weeks. Wish me luck!

Hey! I'm also in the pre-op stage. My surgery is tomorrow! We have a very similar story. I too am a road warrior for work and I'm also only taking one week off!

I'm not sure that it's going to be enough time to heal, but I guess we shall see. As for the shakes, I'm really struggling to find something I like. So far the one i like the most are the EAS pre-made shakes. But they are kind of pricey. My surgeon told me to stay away from whey for the first few weeks which makes it even harder.

If you don't mind me asking, what made you decide to have the band removed? I was VERY close to doing the bad but my surgeon talked me out of if.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
