skinniminiwannabe 16 Posted May 6, 2014 Just wondering if there were any Richmond Va sleevers out there nearing the losers bench I'm in the pre sleeve stage but looking at the end of June beginning of July as surgery date TBD . I'd love to connect with locals at least in the 804, 757, or 540 area codes! Please add me if your in Virginia! 1 peteyrulz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikkisue 6 Posted May 15, 2014 Good morning! I'm in Chesapeake, with surgery in Newport News. I went to a seminar on Saturday, did a 1on 1 Tuesday and will probably have a July or August date. It's going much faster than I thought, with only a few prerequisites. We have a vacation planned in early July, so I'll wait til after for surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peteyrulz 82 Posted May 17, 2014 Drinking Water is one of my 3 adjustments thus far. I've also cut out all carbonation (boo hoo!) and weaning off caffeine. So far these are my obstacles. I set alarm on my phone to remind me about water. It's not that I don't like water, I simply forget! I have menopause brain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
