African American Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I was a stall for 5 weeks before the scale moved. I am 5 months post-op. I was hoping to be out of the 200s by now. My weight loss is very slow.. This is after eating 1000-1200 cal/day and taking a spinning class 2-4 times a week and skating.

HW: 246

SW: 239

CW: 203.7

Well at least the scale has started moving in the right direction again

I was wondering if African Americans have the same success with the sleeve and weight loss as our counterpartS

*****

I wouldn't say it's a race issue but maybe in some cases it can be a socio economic issue when it comes to affording healthier whole foods and gym memberships or follow up healthcare

I'm AA and 11+ months out with great results even better than some others races I've met in my in person and online bariatric groups

I am a very slow loser compared to all those I gave seen. I know I can't compare. And I realize that my legs had started to become jiggly which is not attractive. So on one hand I am happy it slow but on the other wish I lost more.

      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.
