Hey everyone! I'm 5 ft 2in 242 lbs (started at 258 lbs, not a lot but at least it's something!) I'm from Corpus Christi, TX. My date is July 21st.I'm so excited and nervous! Would love to have someone to talk to who's having surgery around the same time. Trying hard to keep eating right till I see my dr in a week. I feel like I could dive head first into a giant chocolate cake though. I do have s friend who's been sleeved 1 &1/2 yrs ago so I do get advice from her from time to time. . But still think it'd be great to talk w/someone who's going thru it at the same time so feel free to msg me! :-)

Good luck!please Come back and let us know how it was.

Ya i don't think there's anything wrong with it.. She also took biotin and never had any hair loss!

There's One called the Bari bowl by a company called Bariware.. If u type it in google you'll find it. It's portioned out in 1 oz sections & comes w/ a spoon and fork. Or you could also try a Bento box I know a lot of sleevers who use them. Also a great tip for future meals.. check out The world According to eggface. . Her blog is awesome!

My friend had her vsg 1& 1/2 yrs ago and she used muscle milk all the time. Idk if it was 100 cal or sugar free tho but she's always suggesting I use it when I get sleeved next month. Hope that helps!

I'm 32 from Texas 5'2, 250lbs, supposed to have my surgery July 21st..So nervous but excited..I know all the tests n labs get tiring so hope it all goes well for you guys. We're about to start our journey to a new life Thank God!

I would love a buddy as well! I'm 32 255 lbs 5 ft 2 in. and should find out my exact date in 2 wks but was told should be around July 21st. It's been 6 months for me and I'm sooo ready now!

I haven't had the surgery yet but my friend did and she told me that she was only in the hospital a day and felt like herself after 2 wks, however it can take up to 6 wks to recover. . You can't lift more than 20 lbs for that full 6 wks either, I believe. It depends on how fast you heal. Some ppl say their dr cleared them after 2 wks.. But I definitely think you'll need more than a week. Hope that helps
