Hey Sleeve Sister! You are doing amazing! I've lost 45 since 8/17 but that's a drop in the bucket compared to you! Love your new pic!

Happy Birthday!

Radiant profile pic! Very pretty girl!

Hi Friends, I've hit the 30 pound mark and ready to tackle another 10 pounds! I'm getting used to my new tummy and finding that some food sounds good one day and then horrible the next. I'm focusing only on 10 pounds at a time because that helps me mentally. I've been exercising but some days I am really tired afterwards instead of energized. I'm literally never hungry, so eating can really be a chore. Did I just say that? How is everyone doing?

Hey sleeve sister! You are really losing weight quickly! Congrats! Everything going well for you?

Hello! Glad to hear your surgery went well. Are you up and aroung and feeling great? I went back to work 1 week post op and the only thing I'm struggling with is feeling tired by early to mid afternoon.

Hey everyone! Thanks for the well wishes! My surgery went well and every day I'm getting stronger, feeling better and it is getting easier to sip, sip, sip! The first 3 days were the toughest with soreness, gas and pressure in my chest when taking very small sips of liquid. Much better now! It was great getting in a bunch of naps too!

In Houston, Texas. I'm getting ready to pack my bag for the hospital! I'm so excited!

I'm right behind you as I will be sleeved in Houston on the 17th! Good luck to you!

My date is the 17th. Just looking to establish a support group with my fellow August Sleevers! Good luck to you!

My surgery date is the 17th. I'm sending you a friend request if you want to expand your support group!

Glad to read your surgery went well! Mine is the 17th and I can't wait! Would you care to keep in touch since our surgeries are close together? It would be great to have a support group!

How did you surgery go? Are you doing well? Mine is the 17th and I'm very excited.

Sounds great to me! The more friends and support the better!

Hi Andreanoelle,

Are you ready to get sleeved? How are you doing on the liquid diet? My surgery is Tuesday and I can hardly wait! I've been so excited and a little worried at the same time. I can honestly say that the worries and fears are greatly diminishing! Yea! I'm comfortable with my surgeon and I'm really beginning to visualize myself thin. My surgeon says that his patients that are excited before surgery and can't wait to get to the operating room tend to have great success because they are determined and confident in their decision to become healthy. I want to be like that! My liquid diet is going well and I've endured several meals with friends/family at restaurants while they ate some of my favorite foods (Mexican food and pizza). It has felt good to stay strong and not be tempted. The countdown is on!

Good luck with your surgery next week! I'm scheduled for the 17th in Houston. Are you doing okay with the pre-op diet?

Hi! I had my consultation today and now I am confused! I really feel like the sleeve is a good option but my surgeon says it is actually more dangerous than bypass surgery. Now my head is spinning!

Not yet! I have my first consultation with my surgeon today that i scheduled 5 weeks ago. Then we begin insurance approval. I'm hoping for a date this summer! Let's keep in touch!
