If I'm usually a veggie person, would I like it?
If it tastes like roots, I doubt it. I just need something I can compare the taste to. Like a virgin Bloody Mary? V8 Tomato juice? Etc. I know it depends on what veggies you use but are those drinks similar to what juicing is like?

Hi, I'm new here today. I am having the operation on 19th Aug in Windsor U.k. Very excited about the future. I've not told anyone apart from my partner who is very supportive. It's not very well known here and I fear negative conversations. I'm getting married April 2015 and so looking forward to being a slim bride. Lots to look forward to. Debbie

Hi, I am seemingly more shy on these boards than I am in person. My name is Carolyn and I want to congratulate all of us who will be sleeved in August. I have been considering this for years and finally am going to do it. I am a bit ashamed that its so out of my control, and that is seemingly my largest hurdle. I suffer from that crazy embarrassment, as if no one can tell that me being overweight is an issue or a problem. So my thinking right now is to embrace this process. I've started weighing myself, this morning I took my pre preop diet measurements, I've set out visual aids to support my ultimate wt loss goal, I'm considering organizing my closet into sizes, although it seems my 16w fits a range of 30 lbs, and that's about all I have. I'm having a hard time believing I might someday fit in a 12 or a 10. I went shopping with my niece on Sunday and was amazed at how small they are. I bought a Yoga DVD and a bike, so it's time to get moving. My knees, back and feet hurt most of the time. My Date is 8/6. I live in the Denver area and don't meet insurance criteria and am going to Dr. Alvarez. Ready in my head, working on my heart, and hoping I will be able to honor my successes.
Please let me know where you are in this process (meaning all of the August sleevers).
Carolyn

Hi, I'm new as well. I'm living in the UAE but traveling back home to the UK for my op. I'm having my consultation on 26th with Dr Mannur at the Spire Roding Hospital. I have a couple of friends who have been sleeved by him. Hoping to have the op on 15/16th August a little nervous. I will die if I can't have it so fingers and toes crossed. My name is Joanne :-)
