I am scheduled for Aug 25th and currently in day two of pre-op diet. This is my third procedure as I had a band which worked famously for me (-130lbs) until I suffered an erosion and had to have it removed. I lasted two years at a stable weight near my goal but the last year has been tough and without the tool I've gained some weight back...

Thanks to all the posters on the forums as I'd been away and learned a bunch before making my sleeve decision since I've been back.

Thanks and good luck to you all in your weight loss journey.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm having a sleeve done on August 25th. My doc doesn't recommend re-banding... The band worked extremely well for me so I'm hoping (and confident) that the sleeve will be as effective a tool for me!

Proud that you have not given up. The sleeve was great for me and my husbasd. Easiest surgery ever despite the fear. Life is gtreat. Be good to yourself. We are 70 and three years out. We are having the best time of our lives. Good luck!

      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.
