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.

      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.
