Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

Morning and Happy Holiday's!! I'm trying to stay focus but it's really hard. I need to get back on my Protein Shakes to get off this stall. Working out daily but not losing.

Still determined that we can continue what we started!! Keep the Faith!!

Sugar is the enemy!!! I ate a cupcake the other day for the first time in a long time and boy did I regret it... Heart went to racing. I didn't like it and I know it was the sugar. Once we start eating it even in small amounts we begin to crave it so we have to avoid it.

Help! I was sleeved on Sept 24th 2012 and have been in a 2 month stall. I exercise 3-4times a week. My food choices are not always the best but I don't eat much of it.

Is anybody going through the same thing? Were you able to get over the stall? What did you do? I was thinking of going back to the Protein Shakes for a few weeks.

I have restarted to track my food on fitness pal…hopefully that will help.

Your on the right path...... Log every bite you put in your mouth.

I need to get back to basics myself. Good luck!!!!

I've been in a stall for months. Totally not uncommon. Not gaining weight, (except at that TOM -- and it goes back down)...but not losing either.

For me, I know I need to step up the exercise. Must be more diligent.

Green & Mom: I started the Protein Shakes yesterday. I'll try that for a week and see how it goes. Hopefully it will kick start some kind of weight loss. Really need to see a smaller number on that scale!

Good luck to both of you too.

Hello everyone!!!!!! I think we all need to check in and see where we are????

Let me start us off. I'm up a few pounds and need to gain control now. I've been struggling with maintaining my weight for a while now. I find it easy to eat junk. chips and cocktails have not been my friend. I told my husband today that I must work harder. I've worked to hard to get here and don't want to see my weight slowly creep up. I need to weigh myself more often to stay on top of this gain.

How are you all doing???

TamaraS, I started at 333 lbs and now weigh 212. I can't seem to get back on track! I still don't eat much in one sitting but I graze all day long...and not the foods I should be eating. I am exercising which is the only reason I'm not gaining back any weight.

Green: I know what you mean, I've stopped weighing in...guess I'm too scared at what I'll see!

Need to get back on track.

TamaraS, I forgot to ask, what was your surgeon's generalization?

Yes, I started out at 376 and am currently about 283. Have been for a year. Can't seem to budge it. Feel like I'm actually not eating enough. Possible?

What were those "generalizations" you mentioned?

        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
