Any Other Late March Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on March 27, 2012 and im down 66lbs since surgery date... however that is deffinately due to the fact that I barely eat at all. I have tried hard boiled eggs (get about 1/2 of the white down and I'm done), mashed potatoes (can have a spoon full or two), I'll snack on some nuts or apple slices, maybe am able to have 3 or 4 very tiny bites of meat before I have no desire to eat any more... I just drink, I drink a lot of green tea, a little fruit juice, the occasional 4-3 ounces of a Protein Shake before im sick of it, a little coffee (iced)... oh and i had 2 nachos with cheese for lunch the other day... yes 2 nacho chips dipped in melted cheese. I read all these forums about people eating way more then me and I just dont understand what my problem is... am I the only one?

ps. I've told my doctor and all he says is keep trying, people are diffrent, try a new food each week.... so not helpful.

I was sleeved on March 12. I am down 50 high weight was 235. I am able to eat a variety of things but usually only 2 ounces of each thing. I had a rough time about 2 weeks ago with digestion and my nutritionist suggested going back to soft foods for 2 to 3 days and it worked I was able to start eating again. Itsnt the exact same problem but try going back to basics and see how your sleeve responds. Good luck

I was sleeved 3/6 and as of today am down 75 pounds. I eat whatever I want but in small quantities. I can eat 4 or 5 oz of met at a time. I track everything I eat and drink on myfitnesspal.com. I eat around 1000 calories a day, get in about 90 grams of Protein and walk on my treadmill for 25 - 35 minutes almost every day.

I was sleeved March 20 and down 83 lbs. I am still not meeting my daily protein/liquid goals but I feel like I eat more than the recommended one to two ounces. I am more like 2-4. My nutritionist told me to stick with 75 grams of Protein, 60-70 carbs, 48-64 ounces of Water and 60 min of cardio everyday. It seems like a lot but I'll do what I can to stick to the program.

90 grams of Protein == greek yogurt & starbucks frap for breakfast(15), can of tuna or rolled up ham lunch meat and cheese for lunch(15 - 20), a Premier Protein shake either as a mid afternoon snack or after I exercise(30) and 3 - 4 oz of chicken or fish for dinner(21 - 28) and sometimes a glass of 1% milk (8)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
