You Can Gain Weight With The Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Thanks Feedyoureye.

I did realize that I haven't been very accountable to this thread as I promised. So here's my deal ...

My 10 pound gain is now down to 4.7 more pounds to get to my "feel good weight" which is around 127 (right in the middle of my bouncy-bounce).

If I get there & feel that I want to lose more, I may go for the additional 4 pounds & get to my ultimate low from January 2011 of 123. But, 127 sounds good to me! In fact, my husband would probably freak if he knew I was shooting for 123. He says 125 is as low as I should go. LOL!

Mini-me,

I am so the same 5'6" I feel good at 127, gonna try to get to 125. I saw 134 and freaked out. The only reason I weighed myself was because my biggest pair of jeans (still size 6) were getting tight. My old MO was to just buy bigger pants thank god I don't need to go there anymore. Not going to weigh myself till the first. The scale will just rule my life! Right now I know what I need to do. check-in also.. Love my sleeve!

Dee - Good for you! Those 130 numbers are terrifying, aren't they. When I first started this journey, I thought I would be happy with 145 and 135 was a dream goal. Now, I never want to see the 130's again.

Yes, I too will be a slave to the scale. I'm prefering to look at it as another tool. If I go past 129.9, time to get my head back in the game.

Best of luck & let me know how you are doing!!!

I think y'all are doing great!! Keep up all that good work! To me, any weight of mine starting with a 13___ is a pipe dream--at 6'2", I think I'd have to amputate a limb or two to get there. LOL But y'all GO!

LOL yep me too! When I had my body fat % checked, they mentioned my lean mass weighs nearly 120 Lbs. I'd like to see what 10 Lbs of body fat would look like on me, however - that just isn't too healthy for a woman of 5'7... Ha!

Isn't it weird how different we all are? If I got back down to my goal weight (-5 pounds) and had a Tummy Tuck, I would be in the 11X number and be completely normal for my body build. But alas, even with the 5 pounds gone, I still have the extra skin. Oh well - that may happen some day. But for now, I'll take the -5 pounds and be happy (with my shirt on and shorts to cover the thigh) LOL!

      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. 🤞
