I'm also from Texas, I'm getting a revision Lap Band to Sleeve on Oct 16. My pre op diet is 2 shakes 1 meal and liquids only on day before surgery. Not bad at all ????

what area of Texas are you from if you dont mind me asking? I'm getting sleeved on the 13th in Mcallen Tx. My Dr only requested 1 day before to eat light. 1 boiled egg and toast with no butter for Breakfast , for lunch and dinner only Clear Liquids and at 2pm I have to start drinking the bottle of magnesium citrate to clear my intestines (not so excited about that lol)

I am scheduled for November 4th.

Your pre-op diet is what I am doing, but for a full two weeks.

It is so crazy how different they all are. I am just hoping to get used to smaller portions.

@@sleevemylife I am in San Antonio TX Low BMI - lapband did not work for me so I am looking forward to stop all the chronic complications I have put myself through by revising to the sleeve.

I am having surgery on the 13th and my surgeon said no preop diet for me either. I meet for preop on Monday and see if she had any further instruction.

What shakes or clear liquids do you all like? I have found a few now.

I like the low sodium chicken broth and today I found a beef broth that has roasted garlic and onion taste. It is a Safeway brand, but needed something different since Ive been on chicken broth for a week now.

ahh man! Yeah I've seen so many people from different states on social media but never any close to me. Wish I had someone that's been through all this for support and help but this will do for now

Thank you for the input! I bought Unjury the other day.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
