All of my December sleevers...



Recommended Posts

I hope you all don't mind but I think this thread should be in the December 2012(!) Sleevers forum. Am I right? If so, happy sleeve-a-versary to you all!

My goal is about 170 as well -- surgery date weight around 237 and began journey at about 260 so I lost a bit on my own

Still in pain and have regrets due to hernia repair and difficulty sipping fluids and staying hydrated and strong

I'm looking at the brighter side that surgery went well and I'm hopeful the weight will fall off cause I'm already down 20 since surgery on dec12

A year. It has been a year. An awesome year. 12/21/12 sleeved along side my sleeve buddy thecurvyjones. I am rocking this sleeve and loving the decision to use Dr Alvarez. I raise my Protein Shake to toast all the 2012 December sleevers. Here's to you!

Don't give up but don't focus on those last 10 pounds for a week or two. Take a dancing class ballroom,line dance or something else fun like that might just be what you need to get loosing kick started again. My son got married in October and we took dance lessons. I had a blast and lost a pound or two in the process. Don't give up.

My goal is somewhere around 150 but 273 will be 100 lbs down so that's what I'm looking for 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.
