I Need Help Guys I Was Sleeved In April



Recommended Posts

I'm failing big time. I got sleeved in April and I have only lost 52 lbs. I'm really hungry most of the time and I'm snacking constantly. I'm just a failure when I thought no one could fail when getting sleeved. What can I do? I even gained weight

what hunger do you have? Can you just eat every 3 hours? I mean meal and snack in between? what about work out? Did you do something?

I heard that you can use boot camp to start again. do search on this forum....

So you have been sleeved about 5 months and have lost 52 pounds and you consider that failure? That rate is over 100 pounds a year. That sounds pretty successful to me. Dont be hard on yourself,we all have days when we eat to much,theres always tomorrow to get back on track. Follow the rules and you will get there. Good luck to you.

Thanks Donnie I'm just a little down since I feel like I'm stuck and yes I've been eating everything from the do not list so I know people like me go back to recover the weight and that scares me

Hi there thanks for the answering I do exercise 3 times a week but my problem is the types of food just because it feels good even when is not the most nutritious, but at least it doesn't hurt

You could consider the DS, the 2nd step for some sleevers...

Nothing is going to help untill you get some help for your eating issues. Maybe some counseling? Something is making you still want to eat. The sleeve is just a physical tool. If there are some emotional issues as to why you eat they aren't going to go away overnight.

Good luck on this journey. And a wise woman once told me, take out the ONLY. I have lost 52 pounds in 5 months! That is still 10 pounds a month! A huge accomplishment!

You are very welcome. Just remember,we are all indivisuals,some people lose faster,some people would kill to lose 52 pounds in 5 months. There will be ups and downs,some stalls and some weeks where you may lose 8-10 pounds, if you follow the rules...get your Protein in first and all the Water requirements you will get there. Personally I think whatever you are doing is working! You look great. Be patient, it will happen.

If you eat Protein first, it really helps limit your hunger and keeps you on track. 52 pounds in 5 months is great, but you need to get your snacking under control now.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
