Thank you Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I wanted to take a moment and thank you, each of you. Many times I sit back and am a silent observer. I read your stories and comments and your words, thoughts, and experiences have helped me before, and during this process. The comments I have on my photo album give me strength and keep me going. I only hope that I can offer new and current sleevers that same support. Im six months out today and am down just about 82 lbs. You have all been a part of my journey in one way or another. Good luck everyone, Im here for you all and Im glad were in this together.

I'd like to add my two cents to that. You are all my inspiration. My surgery is 2 weeks from today. I feel like I'm going into this with an army behind me and a place that answers every question I have had. I plan to be with you and hope I'll be somebody's inspiration in the future.

Yay!!! It is pretty amazing that we can be a tight knit little family (disagreements and all!) This is often where I come because as much as family and friends want to be supportive they don't always understand quite what we experience. Keep posting, keep reading and I will do the same! Go team!!!!

I have to agree. This site is a wealth of information. And it helped to pass the time while I've been doing my 6 months of diet and now waiting to schedule. Good Luck to you. I think I have a date of Sept 17. But not positive until tomorrow or Monday.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
