FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved



Recommended Posts

Hi

I was sleeved on 2/14 and and down 51lbs so far! I am still having trouble with drinking enough Fluid. I think I've drank the 64 oz a day 3 or 4 times since surgery. Any ideas? Ive tried every kind of flavor for my Water , drinking milk and everyday I have a Protein Shake for Breakfast

I am the same way! I was sleeved 2/19 and I know I am getting close to being dehydrated again! So frustrating. I only had about 30 oz yesterday. I feel like I am so thirsty, but just can't drink. I feel like I am full to the top! I keep trying to just sip sip sip, but not enough is getting in. I keep water with me at all times.

Hey Guys,

I haven't been on here in a couple weeks but I am glad to see everyone is doing well. I will be 10 weeks tomorrow and all thought I thought I was a slow loser, it's coming off in spurts. I am excited for my next apt.

I already have a huge change in energy. Yesterday I ran home with my kids from the pool. my husband had the car to drive us home but I wanted to run with the boys instead. The old me would have taken the car home.

I am also starting train for a couple 5ks.

Hope everyone is doing great!!!!

I will be 8 weeks on monday as of today lost 19 pounds total' date=' less then I have wanted, but slow is ok, don't want hanging skin. I eat 40 carbs a day, I try for 800 some times its more or less, I try to get 80 Protein, adn 64 oz Water, I always have a Protein Shake every day which is 30 grams, I use a 32 oz bpa free water jug and fill it 2 times, so I know I have to keep drinking till end of day. I have not tried raw veggies or fruit yet. Going to wait till 3 months out and then try it, I only have troubles from chicken, it sits weird on tummy, so eating seafood and alot of ground beef ( chili) these days. mary[/quote']

Sounds like you are doing a very thorough job step by step and I picture big success for you

I am the same...but I asked my nut if sugar free popsicles are included. I love them and have a couple a day. They are included in the 64oz and due to melting you have to finish them .

Hi everyone!!! It has been a while for me. I have been super busy working 65 hours a week and running the kid to arena football practice and games/track practice and meets I haven't had much time to get on here. Hope everyone is well :-)

OK am 8 weeks out and lost 45# . but the dreaded flap jacks have started(my breasts are melting). Ugh. I was hoping that wouldn't happen but a few close people have noticed and commented too. Guess its time for some duck tape lol. But over all everything is good and steady..isn't that what wins the race?

I feel embarrassed eating around people cause my stomach starts making funny noises. Anyone else experience the belly sounds.

Yes, mine is constantly making wild angry animal noises. It doesn't usually matter what I eat some days are better than others. It doesn't always hurt just can be very noisy

I have been eating these great wraps! I love bread & Pasta so this is great! They are carb balance by mission. They have 120 calories, 3g fat, 1.5g sat fat, 19g carbs, 13g Fiber & 5g Protein. So these have only 6 net carbs!!!

      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
