Congratulations! Any advice for new sleeves like myself. I had surguery on May 1st

I can only tell you what I did- I followed the "rules" strictly for the first six months- less than 40 carbs a day, 60-80 grams of Protein, more than 64 ounces of Water, and working out every day or nearly every day. Then, as I added more and more working out and basically got addicted to it I added carbs and calories as I got tired and realised I needed more. I also recommend reaching out for support- lots of it! I am in multiple Facebook groups and I join challenges in them all the time- accountability is everything, and so is support when the going gets tough. Most importantly- when you do blow it, binging, whatever form that takes for you- forgive yourself and move on! I was not perfect- an eleven day long lost weekend comes to mind lol. Keep on keeping on and move as much as you can! Good luck to you- I care!

YOU LOOK AMAZING! I just posted that I got my approval today and I'm petrified but looking at your progress makes me calm down a bit!!!!

It is the best thing I ever did! You will love it.

Meggie, I follow you on YouTube and cried this morning when I watched your surgiversary video. What a journey - and as I commented at You Tube a while ago, your journey convinced me that I too can do this, I am not too old to turn it around!

Thanks for the inspiration.

I am so glad I inspired you! We are never too old to come alive again! I look YEARS younger now, and feel it too. MWAH!

Wow you look great! You spoke at my orientation meeting, and that helped me decide on the VSG. I went into the meeting set on getting the Lapband, but you spoke so positively about your surgery I changed my mind right there. Congratulations, I hope I can be as successful as you have been!!!

I am so glad that you saw me! Speaking there means a lot to me. Do you come to the support group? I would love to connect with you more! I go every month. xoxo

Meggie,

You look terrific. I was out of town last week on our anniversary. I am still 11.6 lbs from my final goal but I am still thrilled with the changes the past year has brought.

Best decision ever!!

      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. 🤞
