Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I am doing well. 3 weeks post op tomorrow and I am down almost 35lbs and I am at 231lbs now. Still trying to figure out how to eat properly, but so far I am very happy with the results. The first 2 weeks were really rough and I hope to NEVER have to go through that again. lol.

1 month until I go to Rehoboth Beach, DE with my friends for 4th of July week. I gotta put in a lot of work before then! :) Maybe i'll post some pics from the beach if my speedo looks good. hahaha

Hello @Dabearo , It would be nice to see this group become more active. Especially in light that it is June and we should all be celebrating being PROUD... Hope everyone is enjoying themselves and loosing, maintaining and appreciating the new life they have been given.

Hi Guys!

I had my sleeve on March 28th. I had to start my pre-op liquid diet on March 10th. From March 10th until March 28th I lost 26 lbs. Since my surgery i have lost an additional 49 lbs making my total weight loss 75 lbs. One area that I have been struggling with is my energy level. I get exhausted pretty easily now. Does anyone else struggle with this too? I am getting about 90 to 100 grams of Protein daily but i am thinking i may need more. Let me know your thoughts!

For those of you that are thinking of getting the sleeve...i dont regret it for a second!!! Best thing i ever did!

Hope everyone is doing well. Happy PRIDE!!!!🌈🌈🌈🌈

Shawn

Scheduled for my sleeve on Tuesday. 2 week pre op getting old. I'm ready to not have a starving feeling. Lost 22 lbs so far, so that's cool.

Ive been practicing with recipes and Protein powders.

So far I have frozen about 2 gallons of homemade Bone Broth, Tomato basil Soup and black bean soup. Made the best lemon ginger sf popsicles. Yummy.

      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
