So I begin my week of liquids on February 27 th. that's next week! Holy cow! Again, I am a March 6th sleevette. I have collected a few more Protein samples I haven't tried yet- bunch of nectar flavors and a few Robb? Protein samples. Whatever that guys name is lol

Anyway, you guys think it would be interesting to list out a few things about ourselves so we can get to know others a little better?

I'll go first: I live in Idaho but grew up in Florida. My husband and I have 8 kids between us- one by his ex wife and three by my ex husband. The oldest is 17 and is autistic. The youngest is two! We love outdoorsy stuff- camping, walking, hiking, picnics... Can't wait to enjoy those even more in a few months!

Hi Bringiton!!! First of all...love the name. I am also a March 6th sleevette!! Whoot-Whoot!!! Two weeks from tomorrow!

I'm in Northern California, but grew up all over the place! I recently remarried (less than 2 years) and my husband is truly my soul mate! My husband and I have 7 kids between us...sounds like we have a few things is common...Kids! Ours range from 21 to 8. I work full time as an accounting assistant for a moving company. And my hobby, which is what I'm doing to keep me from eating is quilting.

I have been heavy most of my adult life (and even as a kid, I can remember buying "pretty-plus" sized clothes) and I'm really looking forward to just being able to participate in my life with my new hubby!!!

Hi, I am Jan. I've been trying for over 2 yrs. to get approval for the sleeve. After being turned down 3x by one insurance company, we changed and the new insurance company approved the sleeve for me. I am thrilled. I will have the surgery on the 27th of March in Tallahassee with Dr. Crooms.

I'm originally from Nebraska and have lived in Florida for about 10 yrs. We have three wonderful sons. One is married and one is engaged. I like to cook and enjoy art and music. I am a retired OB nurse. I have a loving and supportive husband!

I look forward to knowing my March sleeve buddies. Soon we'll be on the loser's bench with the other sleevers and on our way to a better life!

March 7th is my date! I'm also in Texas (Dallas area) - seems like it is kind of the mecca for WLS surgery.

I'm new to this board but my surgery is March 4th. I have struggled with my weight since I was in junior high when I was diagnosed with PCOS. I have never been so excited to do something in my life. Good luck to everyone! :)

      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.
