March Sleevers..are You Happy W/your Progress?



Recommended Posts

I am staying between 500 and 800 calories a day. A good program I use to help me keep track of my daily intake is http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/account/flog.php . I am not loosing a lot of weight at a time. I think I am averaging about 2 lbs a week right now. I am taking it nice and slow and thankful for each and every pound I can wave goodbye too.

I'm consuming anywhere between 500-700. I only stalled during week 3. Fortunately I always lose something. The lowest I've lost in a week is .6 and the most in a week is 7 pounds. I exercise five days a week for 50 minutes.

My arms are getting crazy flabby and so is my apron. I think I need to add more weight training. This is the thing I need to really work on.

I have one more week of school and then I'm on summer vacation. Woo-hoo! This will give me more time to focus on me. :) I can't decide if I want to do a boot camp thing or maybe use a trainer.

I'm trying hard to up my calories and carbs, per NUT. Today I was at 651 cal/35 carb/29 fat/53 Protein (actually about 15 more that I forgot to log). It was hard for me to eat that much today, and still enjoy a day out with my family. Now from that, I burned about 950 cals through (cardio) exercise.

And still stalled AFAIK. I assumed NUT will want to weigh me Mon or Tue so I'll know for sure then.

I need to start back with the exercising as well. I think that will really help. My schedule is so busy lately at work I am working overtime and am exhausted by the time I get home. Hope you ladies keep up the good work and stay in touch!!

I had to go in today for my 2 month post-op labs so I asked to use the scale while I was there. Guess what? I weighed 11 oz less than I did 5 weeks ago. This was also at 2pm and I'd been fasting since 9 the previous night, so those silly 11 oz weren't really a loss. Not that 11 oz would be a loss anyway.

So I'm still good and stalled. Heading into 6 weeks stalled... and 9 weeks sleeved. I have patience, but this is really, really getting ridiculous.

It does get very depressing when you are eating so little and incredibly....the scale doesn't move! Thankfully I seem to be losing again, but slowly. I am 10 wks out and down about 36 lbs. I would love it to be faster, and more but it is what it is.

      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
