Hi guys!

I was sleeved almost 2 weeks ago but I had the band removed at the same time.

After a mountain of issues with the band im glad I went for revision surgery and im really happy the doctor agreed to do it at the same time.

The thing is I can't tolerate anything else apart from watered down juice and broth.

I had a go at a bit of custard today but big nope.

I am worried because I am supposed to go on an overseas holiday friday.

Has anyone else needed longer than usual to adjust? Could it be because of the extra strain from the band?

It could be the additional surgical procedure. I had a hard time after the surgery for about a week and then it calmed down. I'm sorry you are having issues. I hope they resolve before your flight on Friday. Did you purposely plan a trip so close to your surgery? You might want to let your surgeon know you are leaving the country and are still having some issues. I would hate for you to get sick in a foreign country. Best of luck.

No the surgery and the trip were not supposed to be together. I'm still in close discussion with the doctor. So hopefully things will sort themselves out

Sometimes dairy and sugar cause issues very early on so things like Protein Shakes custard yogurt and apple sa use. I was like that. I then blended chicken and veg Soup to a thin consistency and that was fine. Obviously you are best to follow your Dr. But just providing and idea it could be your sleeve doesn't like the above I mentioned like mine at first. All the best.

      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.
