February Sleeves How Are You Doing?



Recommended Posts

Was sleeved 2/14 I feel healthier then ever. I lost 32 lbs so far. I have a ton of energy and I love to workout. I go to gym at least 3-4 times a week. I walk for 30 a day. I keep my calories under 700. I am able to eat 3-4 oz of fish, turkey or chicken somedays. I am burned out on yogurt, cottage cheese and ricotta. I found I can tolerate Decaf coffee Foldgers called smooth. I love sheetz non fat cold latte. Dq has spelenda smoothies with Protein, sometimes I bring my own protein.

I am feeling great! Still struggling to get all my liquids in between meals, but doing great with my Protein. I had a long stall, but increased my calories to about 1000 and started losing again. I am trying to do 4 to 5 meals a day to get my protein and calories in. I had trouble with getting my protein with 3 meals a day so my doctor said it was fine to do 5 small meals, so much easier! My clothes are getting so baggy, it is awesome.

I was sleeved on 2/13/12, have lost a total of 32 lbs (including pre-op diet), I am eating about 1100 calories a day (trying to get in that 70 gms of protein!), and feeling pretty dang good. I have to start moving more. I have been so sedentary for so long I think I have forgotten how to be otherwise!

I did a scary thing yesterday - I ordered summer clothes online in two sizes smaller than I am now. We are going to Florida in July (which is also insane) and I needed to get some clothes, but I didn't want to buy clothes that fit me now. I think this is called "counting your chicks before they're hatched" :-)

I was thinking if getting some goal clothes for my July vacation too! We can count those chicks together.

My clothes are so baggy now you cant tell I lost anything.

I am glad everyone is doing great. I too have ordered smaller clothes hoping they will fit. Has anyone stalled yet? What are your favorite food?

oh yeah, I had a month long stall. I think I'm going to be one of those "stall, lose, stall, lose" step-method of weight loss people. Frustrating but to be ignored ;-)

Favorite food: lamb - ground or chops or roasted with mint/apple jelly .

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
