African American Sleevers



Recommended Posts

So today I notice my gas pains are subsiding. I was able to use the bathroom with no issues (tmi I know). But it seems I feel a stitch like type of pain now. I'm like well damn get rid of one pain there goes another. I took a pain pill this morning. Since surgery I've only taken 2 pills. Humm

Have any of you Sisters gotten your sleeve done in Mexico? I'm getting my backup plan together in case I get denied by insurance. I'm interested to know where you went and how you were treated. Thanks

Good morning sleevers. I started eating more ranging from 700-800 calories per day. But I am afraid that eating real food I am not going to lose the weight I want to lose. I have a fear of actually not losing. ????

@ Karen I would think you should still loose. I use to be big on counting calories prior to surgery which helped me loose 29 pounds. I was intaking 13-1500 a day so I would assume now taking in way less the pounds should melt away. But you know they say the sleeve has a mind of it's own lol. Hang in there you got it!!

Walked today for 80 mins inclined to 1.0 and speed was 2.1. I thought that was just great. My progress to me seem like it's slowly but surely. I was able to eat a half cup of sf pudding then added banana Protein Powder in it. Yummy to my tummy! It's the little things that I ❤️.

Thanks but found out yesterday the dr does not want me to eat pudding or yogurt yet. I was like really. I had been eating it. Guess that sums up that lil stitch pain I feel off and on that's nagging me. Yesterday was challenging I felt hungry a lot. Everyday I learn something new with this. I did try to sleep in my bed 2 nights but lastnight it just wasn't working out. Back to the recliner I went lol.

Since surgery I can say I am beginning to not miss food. Didn't think that could happen. I don't even get hungry like before wen I had my real stomach. I was regretting this surgery but to be honey losing the weight which I have tried so hard to do for so many years brings back my old self confidence. Not only was this for health reasons but on the plus side I am also feeling very sexy too. I got about 50 more #'s to go but I am already loving the new me. ????confidence has gone through the roof.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
