August 2012 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hello All! Any August sleevers out there? Getting discouraged with this stall. Down 50lbs, the scale hasn't moved in quite awhile. Anyone else have this problem? I have had limited complications, nothing terrible, and can eat anything I want but in small amounts. Trying to stay positive, but it's getting more and more difficult. I know the holidays are coming up, and some food choices have not been the best but come on!! Need words of encouragement and helpful stories of others that may be going through this. Thank you!! Best wishes and Happy Holidays!! :P

Sleeved 8/21. 53 pounds down. I lose on average 1-1.5 pounds a week. I've had stalls but I just keep working the program and know that by this time next year i'll be fit and healthy. Try to look at the big picture., stopping to Celebrate the small victories along the way. That makes stalls easier to deal with. Hang in there!!

I was sleeved 8/21 and am down 66 lbs. Feeling great now and feel like I've found my 'new normal', but the first six weeks were pretty rough.

sleeved August 16. I am down 52 pounds. Very little problems to report. Early on was tough. Restriction is less now, some days I can eat more than others. I have three meals I love... chicken tortilla Soup, filet mignon and veggies, and sashimi! Those are my go to foods :) Cravings gone. Can't eat bread. My hips, knees, and feet feel normal again, no pain :) My arms don't stand out like a linebacker anymore. Everyone notices and says, "OH my god, what are you doing?" I simply say eating less and exercising!

      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.
