Any Texas Gastric Sleeve Buddies?

My day was moved up because of work commitments.....was Aug 13 now July 16......I feel like I'm going into panic mode! One day excited, next day terrified....mostly just tired of arguing with people who think the surgery is a dangerous cop-out to diet and exercise (not my family though)...starting pre-op diet Sunday, wish me luck :-)

Things are good' date=' I was pretty uncomfortable after surgery but it was mostly my back hurting. I have had a bad back for a long time. But all in all its been good! I have lost 24 pounds since surgery, the past week my weight loss has slowed but I'm hoping for it to pick back up soon. I have started drinking 2 Protein Shakes and am hoping that will help. How are things going for you?[/quote']

I have not had surgery yet but I am hoping that I will lose weight quickly and be able to work out as well. I have fibromyalgia so I am hopeful that it will help with this as well. I will keep you posted.

Ok, Texas sleeve buddies. The liquid diet has been the hardest thing. The bariatric advantages does not agree with me. I had 2 try other products. Im so looking forward 2 Tuesday. Iv been sick the whole week.

I have PCOS and I can't wait 2 be normal again.

Three doctors ensured me, that the surgery will help my cycles and pcos. If my cycles are fixed by these surgery hysterectomy will be next for me. I just can't take the heavy cycles and pain anymore. My pray is 2 have a normal and healthy pregnancy and normal cycle. Yea, normal weight.

Again, I wish you all much success on your weight lost journey.

Ain't no stoppin us now,were on the move !!!!!!<br />Sincerely<br /> Zeta

I am sorry I missed this post until now. We would have loved to have met up with some people. When is your next gathering?

I'd love to meet some of yall as well! I live in Mesquite but I'm willing to meet halfway with everyone? I tried to get into the forum for Texas sleevers but I need a password?
