March And April Sleevers How Are You Doing? What Are You Really Eating? (Confessions)



Recommended Posts

Thank you for the advice. Do you think 1000 calories and Vitamins could be enough?!

There are plenty of ways to get all your nourishment. It might not be the most enjoyable but things like blackstrap molasses are great. My opinion,keep working with your NUT, but I would also consult a naturalist. There are tons of ways to get what you need healthfully.

Spades, was that question for me? If so, I'm eating about 1,000 calories a day now. Although today I've only had 800 but I'm about to drink my last Protein Shake. I'd like to eat around 1,200 or so but I can't get there just yet. I have a doc appointment tomorrow. Perhaps I'll ask her if pushing to eat more calories is a good or bad thing.

I lost 18 pounds on the pre-op liquid diet but since that was part of the whole surgical process, I consider it part of my sleeve loss.

I swear, lifting weights 3 times a week has been so beneficial. I haven't had any stalls and no fatigue. And my doctor says I'm losing weight at the pace of a bypass patient. In fact, I was talking to a bypass patient last weekend who had her surgery a week after me. I've lost 20 pounds more than she has. It has to be the exercise!

I was sleeved 4/24.

I have lost 45 pounds. Been working on my Protein intake and Water too.

Working out atleast 3 times a week, but they run my butt at work! It's so much easier now

I need to peel off another 35-40 pounds to hit my goal. I have a really dense bone structure, so I weigh more than some, but look smaller than most. I am 5'4" and currently weigh around

185, but wear a size 10 very nicely.

How are you doing?? what are you REALLY eating? (confessions)

I was sleeved on 4/10 and still having some pain when eating. No matter what eating or drinking it hurts! And on top of that this stall I so frustrating. So far I have lost 29. This is my 2nd stall and I don't know what more I can do. I mainly eat fish and chicken seems to be the foods that hurt less.

I too have been stalling but work out 4 to 5 times a week for 1 to 2 hours found out today doc said I need 1200 to 1500 calories a day to loose weight I barely get 800. Hopefully trying to up intake will break stall.

I love reading the stats of u guys. I was sleeved 4/25 at 244 and I weigh 210 now. I hate the way I have to eat.... but I love the pics of me with my weight loss so hopefully my sleeve will stretch just a little so I can atleast eat as much as my 1 year old. I eat whatever... but only about 2 bites b4 I throw up. I am tired of the mucus always in my mouth. I want some veggies and other healthy things I can't eat. I feel like I am doing something kinda bad to my body by only giving it dead meat and dairy.

Overall I wish I would have never gotten fat so I wouldn't have to do the surgery but I DO NOT REGRET THIS. I am happy with my progress.

shadayo- I love your wishlist /achieveable milestones in your signature! I wish that I would have had the sleeve done in my twenties. I feel like I have wasted too much time. I wish you the best of luck!

      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
