I was sleeved 4/18 and it's hard for me too. I finally just keep a water bottle with me at all times, and every couple of minutes, I take a sip. Better than nothing! You don't want to get dehydrated!

I agree!

Single too, here in Arizona! I'm getting sleeved April 18th! Excited to start this new life, and maybe meet someone once I start feeling better about myself!

blueeyesaz how are you doing on the liquid diet?? can't believe that this time next week we will be done with surgery

I'm doing pretty okay on the liquid diet! It's gotten easier, not as bad as I thought it would be. How are you doing? And I know! Next week is coming so fast! I'm so so ready for surgery though:) I can't wait! Do u wanna link up on Facebook so we can keep in touch and maybe meet up in the hospital? You can look me up by my name, Shanda Elliott.

Congrats! I'm April 18th! Good luck with everything!

I don't have a surgery scheduled yet' date=' but I am hoping for the end of May!! I live in the Mesa/ Gilbert area off Greenfield and the US60 so super close to BGMC :-D are you guys on FB? Would you like to be friends??[/quote']

Awesome we definitely aren't far at all from each other. And yes! You should both add me on Facebook so we can keep in touch. My name is Shanda Elliott. Just look me up!

I will ALSO be at BGMC! We'll have to be walking buddies lol!! My surgery is at 9am with dr schuster

My surgery is at 10am with Dr. Chen! We should definitely be walking buddies!

Blueyesaz- what part of PHX?? I'm in Mesa and grating sleeved at BGMC, how about you? I'd love some support/friends! The more the merrier :-)

Im in phx but will be getting sleeved next week april 18! holy cow... but need some girls my age to be sleeve buddies with.

My surgery date is April 18th!! I'm having the same emotions as you are! I am in the middle of my liquid diet, and it has been a rollercoaster! We can do this!! Good luck with everything:)

Hello everyone!

I am new here, and thought I would share my journey so far!

I watched my brother-in-law go through the Gastric Sleeve Surgery and process, and decided this is something I wanted to do for myself. I have always been overweight, and I have finally had enough! I am ready for a change:)

I started the whole process on 1/19/13, and my surgery date is finally scheduled for 4/18/13! I started my liquid diet on 4/3/13, two days ago, and I've already lost 5.5lbs! 12 days to go! It's not as bad as I thought it would be! Yes I get hungry and light-headed once and a while, but it doesn't last long. I'm not just completely miserable, which I thought I would be!

I am getting very anxious for surgery! My family has been a HUGE support for me through all of this, and I couldn't do it without them!

It's nice to meet you all, and I am happy I found a place to talk to people that know what I'm going through!
