Im 26 And Im Rocking My Sleeve



Recommended Posts

What are your goals? I started at 299.8 and I'm currently 226.2 :-D I'm so close to wonderland currently I'm a size 16. When I can taste the sweetness of wonderland I will treat myself for a full body massage and a ride at six flag magic mountain

Congrats!!! That is quite the loss!

A full body massage and trip to six flags sounds like an awesome reward for reaching Onederland.

I'm 23 and also love rocking my sleeve ^_^ My goal now is to tone up!

My first goal is to join a gym (will do on June 1).

Next goal - When I get into the 160's I'm getting a pedicure.

Final goal - After I reach goal I'd like a face and breast lift! :rolleyes:

To be honest it has made my life EASIER than when I was overweight! I made sure all of my friends knew that I did have it done, so that way they would understand why I choose not to eat junk food. When we are out I try and make the healthiest choices of food. When we have family/friend parties I will have a margarita or even wine and it doesn't bother me. Again drinking alcohol is not frequent for me. I'm so lucky to have been able to have the surgery when I was 18. These are the years I want to be healthy and live my life.

Simple things like shopping, or going to an amusement park, or even the movies seems so much easier because I can actually fit in the seats, and fit into clothes!

Almost being 5months out its easier now that I have learned to readjust myself socially. But at the beginning was very hard because my friends and family didn't understand that I couldn't eat the same fatty unhealthy foods like before. I eat before going out, i kept a protien bar in my bag, always have a Water bottle with you, or try for crystal lite they have different flavors incase u get tried of plain Water.< /p>

Take control When I go to parties I serve myself because I want to have control what and how much I put in my plate.

The most important thing is aways plan ahead and make the people around understand what u going through.

One more thing congratulations :-D practice some of these tips now so when the time comes it wouldnt hit u as a surprise good luck

      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. 🤞
