JUST GOT SLEEVED UP



Recommended Posts

WELL PEOPLES FINALLY TOOK THE PLUNGE.... GOT THE SLEEVE ON NOV 4 IN Tijuana MEXICO BY DR ALMANZA AT THE JERUSALEM CLINIC. EVERYTHING WENT SO SMOOTHLY. THE PEOPLE AT THE CLINIC AND THE RECOVERY HOUSE ARE AMAZING. SO I WAS WEIGHING IN AT 307 WHEN I WENT ON A 5 DAY liquid PRE OP DIET, JUST GOT HOME LAST NIGHT AND I WEIGH 288. I FEEL GREAT.. NOT EVEN THAT SORE OR TIRED. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE WEEKS AHEAD OF liquids AND MUSHIES BUT ITS ALL GOOD. TIJAUNA WASNT SCARY AT ALL....I CANT BELIEVE ALL THE NEGATIVE HYPE. I WALKED AROUND BYMYSELF AT NIGHT WITH NO ISSUES. ANYWAYS IF ANYONE NEEDS TO KNOW ANYTHING GIVE ME A HOLLER

So glad to hear that things went well for you. Sounds like you are doing awesome on the weightloss. Keep it up!

This board is a great place to come get information - I know the first month or so I was on here ALL the time asking questions and determining if my experiences were "normal" ;)

Hi doeboy, CONGRATS on getting your sleeve! I'm very glad to hear everything went smooth... :-)

It sounds like you are well on your way, keep up the good work - and especially the positivity. Being positive will keep you in the right frame of mind, and will keep those stress hormones at bay. Stress hormones will only hurt the weight loss... and with that - ALL THE BEST!!!

Hey, doeboy, CONGRATULATIONS!!

You rock, and I agree with you about Tiajuana being a pretty fascinating place to be, in spite of all the sad poverty you see there.

I hope to be where you are in one month from today, have a tentative Dec. 2 surgery date, but still have to get through a couple of last hurdles. My question is: HOW DO YOU LIKE THE MAJIC BULLET? I am shopping food processors and want to get the best one for my money.

Good luck to you, and please keep posting, YOU INSPIRE ME! Rainy

i havent used the magic bullet yet because i cant have Protein Shakes yet .....im still on clear liquids. im sure the magic bullet will be best for the sleeve because it makes smaller portions .....mine is still new in the box.....patiently waiting to get to that stage. cant believe how fast the weight is coming off ....just weighed myself im 285 today ...thats 22 pounds in 6 days WOOP WOOP feeling like a champ too.....back to work tommorow

WOW! 22 Pounds, that's amazing. Congratulations.

And really, congratulations big time on doing so well after surgery. It is reassuring to hear that every surgery is not horrible.

Can't wait to hear how you like your bullet!!!

        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
