Barely One Month Ago...



Recommended Posts

One month ago (yesterday) I was sleeved by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, MX.

I cannot tell you how AWESOME I feel right now. Here's why:

I was wearing a size 22W!!!!

Today I'm fitting a lot of my 16's and some are Misses.

I bought a Suede leather jacket today from Goodwill. It was so nice, and it was size M. OMG... it fit, except it was a tad bit tight at the very bottom where the buttons are. It's ok, I KNOW I'll fit into it really soon. I count the moments! :D In the mean time I took it to my Green Cleaners who are going to do some minor repairs and restorations. It's actually in very good condition.

I am able to do over two miles now in walking and on my treadmill, and I feel so much lighter already. It feels so wonderful! I'm going to start adding in more of my cardio exercises as I'm feeling good and up to it again. I'll just do minor 20-25 minute sessions to start, but I'm at it again!

I'm already almost down 20 Lbs since surgery and almost 30 since my pre-op diet. I really couldn't have DREAMED of having better results. My status right now is RIGHT ON!!

I'm actually able to eat soft solids pretty well now. I can get my Protein naturally, and eat my Fiber bars good. Things are running quite smoothly for me now! I'm soooo ecstatic, it seems so unreal.

Thank you SLEEVE, DR. ACEVES AND HIS AWESOME STAFF, VST AND MOST ESPECIALLY THANKS TO MYSELF FOR BELIEVING IN ME. :-)

Here's my best NSV so far though... Hubby's already calling me "skinny". Hahaa! Ok now I know I'm not skinny by any measure of the imagination, but it sure feeellssss good!! :-)

Ohh Baby.... You're da Bomb! WAY TO GO! I wanna be like you when I grow up... er...down... er you know what I mean.

Thanks everyone! You're the reasons why it makes it so great to even try! You all are my inspiration. :D

Daisy, you have been trying to convince me to dump the band and try this instead for a very long time. For that I say THANK YOU!!! I cannot tell you how glad I am that I took your advice!

Lily, it hasn't been all roses and rainbows for me, but I wouldn't trade in the tough times for the good times! NO way, not for a second!

Darma, the time will fly by. Please keep me posted! I love to follow along on others progress. Keeps me being good too!

Juliah, I have known about it for awhile, but didn't before I was banded. I wish I had done my research - I do believe I would have done this from the start. It's a long story but my insurance only covered the band and RNY - so I went with the band. Though I did kind of get a head start with it, so it wasn't all useless. Every moment in my life has a meaning, and my band had its reasons for being in my life. :) And I'm so happy for you! It's so fun, isn't it - bagging up all the old clothes and looking for new ones? heeehheee

Labrys, thanks! It will be nice doing this along side you! :)

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
