Hello Everyone!

My name is Alia, and I will be having my sleeve done 23 August 2012. I am very nervous, yet excited at the same time. I cannot wait until the day arrives, so that I can begin my new life.

Today is the first day of my 2 week liquid diet. I am doing great so far.

Is anyone else going to Mexico for their sleeve the same time I am? Nice to meet everyone, feel free to say hello, and add me to your August sleeve list. :)

Newbie to the site, but loving all this info I get from everyone. I'm an August sleever as well. Aug 21st is my big day with Dr Srikanth at St Francis Hospital in Federal Way, WA. So so excited, thankfully nerves haven't kicked in just yet. But I can only imagine how I will feel on surgery day.

Has anyone started their liquid diets yet? I have, and gosh, I never felt so empty before. I have been trying to fill up on Protein Shakes and broth. After I eat, at that particular time, it does fill me up, then shortly within 4 or 5 hours later, I am empty again. I hope everyone else is doing well with their diets whilst preparing for their surgeries. I am so thrilled about this journey that I am about to embark on. I cannot tell everyone enough, how long that I have waited for this upcoming event to arrive. Does everyone else have the butterflies yet?

I start my liquid diet tomorrow. My dr requires it 10 days before surgery. I did this a couple weeks ago as well and definitely had the empty feeling too. I drink a ton and ton of Water to keep me full and try to keep myself occupied so I'm not thinking about the whole not eating part. I don't do much broth because it actually makes me feel sick after I drink it. Which is weird cause most people say it helps with the nauseousness and keeps them full. But then again when have I not been an odd ball. Lol my dr said if I get that hungry I can always add in a 4th Protein Shake. No butterflies yet but I know they will be coming. Getting so so excited. ????

AaahRoo! I have a surgery date! I will be sleeved at last by Dr. Fernando Otero on August 14' date=' 2012 at John Muir Hospital-Concord Campus CA. I'm very excited of course!! I'm hoping to find other August sleevers to treck the journey with. I'm so ready to get this weighted ball rolling you just don't know...

I've been putting on weight since the birth of my first child 20 years ago. Things really got out of hand when I seperated from the military in 2006. No limits,No mandatory runs,No mandatory weigh-ins makes Gr8rLuv a very big, bad girl <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> !! Currently, I'm miserable...My joints-Achy wrists,back,hips,knees and ankles. sleep Apnea-I got it, Cpap-I wear it. I can't wait to get back to my normal...BMI,Weight, Activity,Sleep. I've lost enough time...I'm ready for the RESET button!![/quote']

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
