Anyone living in South Florida?

Hi everyone!

I've been a member of VST for a few days now and i can't seem to find very many people from South Florida that have sleeved or are in the process. I would LOVE to meet people and make some friends through this avenue as i feel like i will need every bit of support i can get once i'm sleeved. I think it would be very nice to be able to meet up and help one another out post-sleeve. Hope there are many of you out there as I would love to hear from all of you! :) :D

Hey Ms Tiffany to more 8 more days left sista. Im doing the happy dance for you... Are you able to contain yourself... Is your mom excited to be going with you.. My mother is already trying to pack her suitcase and she has a whole month to go before she gets here to Florida...

I also wanted to ask you are you doing the pre op diet and if so how are you doing with that.. I am slowly but surely doing more shakes now and watching what I eat to just try and get into the routine of having different eating habits..

excuse my typing fingers a little lazy today... lol -_-

Hazel to be honest i have my days some days i'm like YAYY! then others im nervous and scared.. I don't think my mom is excited because shes nervous but i know that she's supportive about it and will stand behind me anyway she can. Today was my first day on the diet and oh man those Protein shakes are so gross.. i had a shake for Breakfast and lunch and (1) meal consisting of boneless chicken and salad.. if i got hungry i ate a piece of sugarless gum..

i don;t like the diet but i know i HAVE to do it you know.. what do you think about the shakes? what shakes are you drinking?

Hi there. I am from the West Palm Beach area. I am hopefully having my surgery in June. I am really looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life!

Ms Tiff i can understand about the shakes because some of them can be so nasty ooohhh my goodness. I have tried so many but what I use now is just the Lean shakes from GNC mostly the chocolate flavor. Now if I get vanilla flavor I add it with sugar free fruit juice and that makes it much better.. But they say that the Isoplus is the best a little pricey but worth it.. I do have the isoplus liquid and it is not a problem. That also comes in alot of flavors. But basically you might have to just keep on tryin other brands until you find what you like. Everyone is different. But good luck honey just make sure you are getting in all your protien because after surgery that will be your major goal everyday... :rolleyes:

and welcome asdamato 22 I will be also having my surgery done in June i can hardly wait... The days are dragging by and its driving me nuts...
