Can you tell us a little more about life with your sleeve at six months out?

Thanks Sleeves Sisters I still keep pitching myself. Humpty I can feel my hip bones and in the right light you can see my rib bones on my chest I'm 54 and just discovering how different a 54 year old body looks from a 30 year old body. You and I are both shorties and your weight is close to what my sw was I can not imagine that I am anything but average in my weight loss so hopefully come Christmas you will be in the forties!

Sleeve4me you already are there remember you are 3" taller then I am which makes you weight loss at 6 months ahead of me.

At six months out I pretty much eat whatever I want within reason. I will always have to watch slider foods I try to stick with the Protein first rule with every meal. I start almost every morning with a Protein shake. I plan my meals ahead of time as much as I can if we are going out I'll check out their menu online. I go out typically twice a week and I have never had a server make a comment. I walk 5 miles a day five days a week but to be honest I don't think the walking is much of a factor to my weight loss since I have been doing the same walk for more then 7 years and I imagine I am burning less calories walking at 146 then I was at 208. Hope this helps.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
