Attention November Sleevers: Christmas Weight-Loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

Ok my November Sleevers!! I know there are a few challenges out there already, but I thought it would be nice to have one rocking for those of us that had our sleeves done in November. This way we track with people on a closer timeline with our own. Feel free to use it or not. Totally up to you. Hugs to you my November Sleeve family. Happy holidays and happy losing!!

December Challenge: ends on 12/25/12.

~ Surgery Date (SD): 11/20/12

~ Starting Weight (SW): 320

~ Current Weight (CW): 297

~ Goal Weight (GW): 275, with an ultimate goal of 270 cuz it would be a nice belated birthday present for myself (birthday is 12/21).

* Bonus: Inches Lost. Haven't measured myself yet. Was waiting for my 1 week follow-up on 11/28 to do that.

~ Surgery Date (SD): 11/14/12

~ Starting Weight (SW): 359

~ Current Weight (CW): 336 I believe, though I'm trying to only count weights on the same day every week- even though I have been weighing in daily...but for the sake of this thread 336

~ Goal Weight (GW): I'm gonna be ambitious (I'm not sure of its ambitious or not lol) and go got 315.

Looks like I'm gonna hit my Xmas goal by my birthday tomorrow. I weighed in at 271.8 this morning. My ultimate goal is 270 cuz I surpassed my initial Xmas goal of 275 a few days ago. So I'm down about 44 now since 11/20.

I would like to join this thread. I need encouragement. Surgery 11/20 and I'm down 23 lbs was down 25lbs until Christmas Day. Don't feel well due to eating foods I never would have touched! So today it's about ten am and I'm afraid to put anything in my mouth. Not sure where to start so as not to gain anymore. I welcome any ideas. Also since im off work I have no where to exercise. I would run the stairs each day. Return to work on the 3 rd of January . I would love to hear what to do to jump start my diet today. Also is anyone from Houston Conroe area? Would like to have a partner to exchange ideas and work with on our way down.

      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. 🤞
