All of my December sleevers...



Recommended Posts

I started my journey December 26, 2013.... And it has been wonderful

Presurgery weight 296 pounds

Surgery weight 264 pounds

Today's weight 194 pounds

A total loss of 102 pounds.... Feel great

I can now cross my legs and sit comfortably

Fly on a plane without asking for an extender belt and still having about 6 to 8 inches to spare

My clothing sizes has changed dramatically I was wearing on the bottom half of me a 3X to a 4X.... My top was a little smaller and one 1x

Now I wear a small to medium talk any size large bottom

But I do think I need to hit the gym more I go about once a month... Need to start going weekly... I am just so busy at work sometimes bad excuse

I currently intake about 650 cal to about 900

I'm pretty much always around 70 g of Protein

I am very bad on taking fluids... Probably only about 3 to 4 8 ounce glasses... Nowhere near enough but I never feel dehydrated.

Even though I am allowed to have crackers and bread in a moderate fashion I choose not to do those as well as rice and Pasta...... For the current time

For Vitamins I take Flintstones with Iron two of them every morning one Biotene 1B 12 under the tongue and one folic acid..... And at night before I go to bed take the Calcium citrate.

Well this is me

I'm down another 4lbs this week and the only thing I did different was cutting WAY back on my carbs.

I just wanted to come back in and say I'm 100% back on track and proud to say the 3 pounds I put back on are now off with an extra pound. I know from time to time we will slip up but it cant be everyday. Carbs are the devil! Say no to carbs and things will work in your favor or so it least it seems lol

Hi,

I havent posted in a while. Love my wl success. I was sleeved Dec 28, 2012 and have lost 501bs!!! I feel great and never thought i would be in the 100's in my life. I am 5'1 and weighed 221 the day of my surgery. I dont weigh myself religiously but i weighed myself 2 days ago and the scale said 171!!!!! I was thrilled to say the least! This is the best decision i could have ever made. Best of health to everyone as we continue on this lifelong journey to being healthy!!!

Our numbers are very similar, which gives me hope. On the day of surgery, I was 222. (Lost 20 before surgery) and I am somewhere between 165-170. I get fed up with scales, because the doctor's scale is the only one that counts, but I am consistently heavier on the surgeon's scale than I am anywhere else (including other doctors' offices!)

      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.
