Yesterday, I had the band, today it's gone.  Doc wants me to lose 50 pounds in the next eight weeks so has me on a full liquid diet.  I will indeed look up ideas using the magnifying glass but if anyone wants to throw in some suggestions, I'm all for it!

Here comes the sleeve!!

Congrats on getting rid of the band and going for the sleeve, but losing 50 lbs in 8 weeks?, that's over 6 pounds a week!, there's losing weight and there's losing weight safely. I'd question any dr who would want me to lose that much in such a short period of time liquid diet or not. It just sounds like he wants you to be on a no calorie liquid fast for 8 weeks, that's the surest way to get sick, especially when you're healing from surgery right now.

I know how you feel,  I'm also an exbandster as of 2 weeks ago. My insurance won't do the sleeve, so I'm RNY bound.  Good luck!

Yeah, I have some doubts about that and decided I am going to do it the healthy way.  If I don't lose 50 but do lose a reasonable amount and he says no, I will go elsewhere.  if I make the true effort, the result should be acceptable because I am not going to let myself get sick for anyone!  But I hope he will feel the same as I do and accept whatever happens as long as it is a good loss.
