August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?



Recommended Posts

Shoe' date=' doesn't the summer always fly by! May this summer be the fastest one on record. I think about this every day. Experimenting with different Protein Drinks, testing taste and how my blood sugars reacts. Shopping for the perfect nightie with pockets for my insulin pump for the hospital. Planning meals to make and freeze for my family. Biting my tongue when I almost say something to my daughters. They are 23 and 16 at home and my oldest 26 lives in Orlando. Not telling them till the very last moment. Every day that ticks off is another one closer to our new life. I'm practicing recognizing that full feeling and stopping eating before I get there. There is so many things to do and I feel like I'm traing for a marathon. Reading this forum everyday helps keep me on track. I went to the mall and didn't buy anything. I have enough fat clothes. I'm waiting till my target shirt,which is still a big big t, to fit. Having fun dreaming until our dream becomes our new reality.[/quote']

I need it to kick into overdrive! I haven't started experimenting with Proteins yet, I've heard your taste often changes, playing around with smoothies tho. I think I'm going to order the Unjury sample pack!

Looks like I am first so far - I will have to keep you ladies updated and let you know how things are going. I am not sure about bringing my laptop to Mx, just because of weight and size....trying to pack as light as possible. I'll have my phone and can post on the app, wondering if I will incur international charges?

I can not wait to post from the hospital AFTER the surgery is done!!!

You may want to invest in a tablet before you leave lol they're like 80-100 bucks for a cheaper one . I'm going to have that in the hospital with me. My boyfriend got me one for xmas i use it when i dont want to take my computer. jjust for emailing and stuff.

Question to anyone how long are you taking off work after surgery

I'm taking two weeks because I've heard everyone say even though the pain was tolerable after a week they were still exhausted...

      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
