How Are All Of You Sept 2012 Sleevers Doing?



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone - How are you Sept. Sleevers doing?

My surgery was Sept. 25.

At first I was doing a GREAT job getting all of my Water in, but now that I am back to work I am finding it harder to remember to sip, even though my water bottle is right here with me.

Also, as they say, the surgery is on your stomach, not your brain... Prior to surgery I was pretty good at keeping to a good workout schedule. Now I'm struggling with that. I did have multiple pulminary emboli in both lungs 1 week post-op (in spite of 6 short walks every day) and I was required to curtail exercise for awhile, but now I am having a hard time sticking to a schedule. My daughter and I are starting a new exercise plan together tonight! : )

I also have HEAD HUNGER like CRAZY. I called my Dr.s office and said "I AM STARVING!" and the nurse practitioner said "No, you're not". LOL!

The GREAT news is that I am losing the weight! I have 6 sizes of clothes in my closet and I have shrunk out of the largest size and my second largest size are getting big!

I am curious about other folks triumphs and what other people might be struggling with.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
