You Can Gain Weight With The Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hi Y'all. 125.2 this morning. I read my post from last week and I'm up about 1/2 pound but not concerned. Bought a fitbit pedometer and getting my 10,000 steps every day. Feeling healhier. Now to deal with those sugar craving--yikes!

I think I will stay here because I need to make sure I don't eat like I am out of control. I always found an excuse to eat like a big fat pig when I was fat...so pregnancy is not an excuse to eat like I have lost my mind! AND I WANT TO! So I am around week 7 and I am up 2 pounds. My scale is heavier than my doctor's scale...I am 165.5. I was 163.5 for a couple of months and it never moved which was pretty cool because when I was big I could gain 5 pounds in a day!

Best & good tasting are powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or nectar.

A close 2nd in quality but tops in taste & consistancy is Chike.

It seems like shakes are very much a matter of personal taste. What kind of flavors do you like / hate?

I found early on that the "chocolate" Protein powders really didn't taste like chocolate at all. I start with Unjury chocolate, add a little salt to cut the artificial sweet taste, add a little unsweetened cocoa powder to boost the chocolate flavor, and mix with warm almond milk or Water for a "hot cocoa" effect. You can do variations like mint, almond, and raspberry hot cocoa by adding a little sf Syrup.< /p>

If I want something more tart, I'll blend a fruity nectar flavor like cherry or something like Chike banana in with some plain greek yogurt.

If I want a coffee flavor, I like the Click mocha protein.

If you can't stand the sweet, could you tolerate something like the unjury chicken Soup flavor as a lunch time broth?

I think until you find something you like, your best bet is to order from places that will sell you sample sizes. I think Unjury still sells single-serving packets. You can order a variety pack of Nectar from BJs Bariatrics or Vitalady.com. I think Chike will sell single packets too.

      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.
