Ladies I need some help here....



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in Aug. 2010, down 200 lbs, still have approx 100lbs to go need some help here. My boyfriend recently proposed 3 weeks ago and we are looking at getting married later next year. Still have 100 lbs to go and weight loss stopped for me about 6 months ago. I have thought about seeing if my new health insurance would pay for gastric bypass (more than likely they would) but I know what i've been through with the sleeve and we are wanting children, don't wanna have to wait another 2 years and then have to be considered a high risk pregnancy as a result regardless of my actual health. My wanting to get down to my goal weight before we get married has nothing to do with him, its what i want. He loves me just the way that I am loose skin and all. What can I do here, I really can't get much help from my surgeons office, I moved for a new job 4 months ago and it is not convenient for me to drive 125 miles one way, may take a while and countless visits; the new nutritionist and exercise lady i'm not to fond of. The ones that were there when I initially went through are no longer there, these new ones, uh.... I moved to a small town in rural Iowa, no health clubs around here, closest is 50 miles away. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Congrats on marriage! I am only five days out but reading these forums has become a constant fave past time. All say the something in your case start over on a two week liquid and process back through to two weeks, purée, two weeks soft and finally back to solid focusing on Protein and liquids daily leaving off carbs, fats, and sugars.

Living on a rual area walking/jogging is the best aerobic excersies but with the cold month you might want to check out some Zumba or palates. YouTube has many 30 min workouts for free if you do not want to buy the DVDs.

I have heard this so many times over the year I have prepared for surgery: "The sleeve is just a tool and to lose weight you still have to do the work to make that tool effective."

You can do this and you will be so happy with yourself when your wedding comes! Keep us posted I know you will be a beautiful bride!

Hello and congrats on your weight loss so far and on your marriage. I have some info but out of fear of back lash, I don't want to post it on here so send me a private msg. I was sleeved 10/11/12 and was losing very slowly and then not at all ao I started looking for ways to boost my weight loss and I stumbled onto something online and started this "diet" last week and since I started, I swear to you I have seen pounds dropping daily. This diet probably goes against your NUT or Dr (I know it goes against mine) but if you are interested just msg me. BTW it does not require any gimmicks or pills or anything fishy AND I am not trying to sell you something. I swear! :) lol BTW, this also doesn't require exercise.

      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
