Gr8rLuv4Me

Praying for those being sleeved today. Remember God's in control. I'm on the 8-8.

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?

My surgery date is 8/23/12. Good luck to everyone here!

Yup! August 13th for me. Getting close!
I'm nervouse, excited, freaked out, you name it! My dr is Dr. Rodriguez in Mexico.

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.

AaahRoo! I have a surgery date! I will be sleeved at last by Dr. Fernando Otero on August 14, 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 !! 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!!

I will be sleeved august 15th I can not wait to shed this weight and let my inner skinny girl out <3

Its great to see so many new pre-sleevers here. As we round out week 2 my thoughts go out to all of you that went before us. I can't wait to hear about your experiences....I've been watching every VSG journey I can find on 'YOUTUBE'. I have literally subscribed to over 100 Vsg vlogger channels. I ask questions and offer support...but no one elses story will compare...to our own.
Next week is my week...I'm excited and nervous. No pre-op diet(yea!) But I'll be NPO after midnight on 8/14. I work as a nurse at the hospital where my surgery will be performed, so I'll be getting off work at 7:30am and returning to preop at 9a. I find it better to keep my mind occupied at work than to sit at home and worry all night. I've been doing some last min. shopping and lots of housecleaning.My Dr says he wants me walkingin the halls within 2hrs after I'm out of surgery...I told him "GameOn"

Sleeved yesterday. Home this afternoon. Challenging to get comfy in my bed...especially since I'm a stomach sleeper. The pain meds are helping. Really looking forward to getting past the first week.

Yes it's finally here after months of running from dr office to office. To now I'm down 40 and going in tomorrow. Wish all of you the best!!!!

Ok I'm happy to see my 8-8-12 sleevers up here Daxman27 & Sweeteelme. We're up tomorrow yayy. How do you guys feel?!

Hello I'm scheduled for August 6 in MD..

Surgery tomorrow morning...yikes!!! Weighed in at 230 this morning.

Well fellow August sleevers.. I a
Also an August sleever but from 2011! Just to give you a little something to look forward to... Since I was where you guys are now a year ago.. This year has been nothing short of amazing. I went from a size 14/16 to in between a size 1 to sometimes 3.. I run.. Which is something I have never been able to do.. Even at my thinnest in high school.. I am in the best shape of my life.. I eat healthy and look forward to my work outs... Your journey is only just beginning but before you know it your life will be so changed and you will be happier than you ever thought possible... Many blessings to all you newbies and may you all have a speedy recovery and a kick a$$ bod in a few short months.. I was at goal in 5 months and have had to change it several times to accommodate all the extra I lost that I never imagined would...

LPN for 5yrs, RN for 12. I work Cardiac/Telemetry and my surgery date is 14Aug12. I plan to take 2 weeks off after surgery. I have made a contingency plan for an additional week off if things don't go smoothly. Our hospital has a Lift Team 24hrs a day and electric transport gurneys so that should make things easier.

Wow now we got a nice little August sleever family. I wish all you guys and gals the best of luck. Let's do it!

I am on Aug 6 do you have a preop diet. I hit a big snafoo day 6 and 7 but I will have a successful next seven days...

we can only do our best, stay strong and good luck on the 6th!!
