Southern States Beginner

So I have been thinking about surgery for many years. In february of last year I really jumped on the ban wagon of doing it! So here I am a little over a year later and my surgery date is February 25! I am on my all Protein shake diet (yuck) and I have known people that have had bariatric surgery, but only one that has had sleeve. I am looking for someone who either has had this journey or is beginning themselves on this journey on or around my surgery date. Any southern state will do. Anybody want to go on this journey with me?

I'm in Texas and being sleeved on March 5th. I'm on day 2 of my pre-op diet right now and hoping it gets a little better after a few days because this constant headache is killing me. I'm getting nervous as the date gets closer but am also so very excited to finally get my weight under control! Good luck on your surgery. I wish mine were a little closer...the waiting is driving me nuts! :)

Here in Virginia I've been sleeved for over 2 years.

I am being sleeved on Thursday 02/27/14 and am in Texas...I have 2 days left of this pre-op diet and am horribly hungry and feel like poo. I don't have anyone to journey with either! Good luck today!! I hope all goes smoothly for you and you are more than welcome to message me anytime. I cannot wait to hear how your surgery went.

I am in Mississippi and I was sleeved On Feb. 10th. The first week was pretty rough, second week was no fun but weeks 3 and 4 have been tolerable. I'm still having to drink protein drinks in order to get my protein in but otherwise it's not too bad. I still struggle getting all the water in but I am doing better than I did pre surgery. I'm feeling great and am so happy I had this surgery. Looking forward to losing lots of weight and would love some southern sleeve buddies.
