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



Recommended Posts

We I can't believe this but...... I am scheduled for my Tummy Tuck on Nov 27th!!! I am down 95lbs and less than 10lbs from my goal weight. I have been very fortunate to have my insurance pay for my sleeve and now my tummy tuck ( I am responsible for the Lipo part). Do any of you feel like this is all just happening soooo fast? I didn't expect to loose so quickly and get to goal weight in under a year or have my loose skin removed so soon. Sometimes it gets to be overwhelming because I am still getting used to my new face. I'm definitely not complainingly, just wondering if others felt the same way? Best decision I ever made!!! I love my new active life!

Just started fitting into size 8s' date=' wearing mostly 10s right now. Still 20-25 lbs to goal.

Any Feb sleevers thinking about plastics? I love my new, smaller body but wonder what size I would be with out this hanging belly.[/quote']

I was sleeved Feb 21st and I am less than 10 lbs from my goal weight. I went from a 22 to currently in a size 9. I would be in an 8 easily but I have to allow room to tuck in all my bellies!!! I am scheduled for my Tummy Tuck Nov 27th!!! Since my insurance is paying for the TT I decided to do that 1st. Next up will the the arms and breast lift.

Wow! You are having an amazing ride! I know what you mean about feeling overwhelmed by the fast pace of the weight loss and all the physical changes! I kind of freak out and have an anxiety attack every now and then. I have literally not recognized my own reflection more than once! It also delights and surprises me! Good luck with your surgery. I don't I'll be getting any plastic surgery any time soon or maybe never. I carried my weight mostly on my butt, hips and thighs so my tummy isn't too bad. Maybe eventually I'll have Lipo and plastic surgery on my thighs but I don't think insurance will pay for it.

Wow congratulation on the weight loss and the scheduled tummy tuck! I still have quite a bit of weight to loss, but there are some feb sleevers that have met their goals or are real close. I can't wait to get there.

Just a quick update. Finally broke another zero and am in the 150s- 20 lbs to go! Starting to squeeze into size 8 but 10s are still comfy. Here's a pic from the weekend. The red dress is flowey but it still said "small" on the label! Who would have thought that the word small and I would ever be in the same sentence? How's everyone else doing?

So much change is right! I still struggle with portions and overeating but it has all been so worth it!

I hope everyone is doing great. It is awesome to see how everyone is doing. Keep up the good work. I'm so happy I made this decision I'm down 88lbs overall and 70 since surgery 2/19/13 yesterday when I stepped on the scale and it read 200.0, man I just want to hit my first goal lol it was like a big tease so hopefully the next time I weight I will be under 200 :) my next goal is 188lbs, I hope I can make it to 170 by 2/19/14. I know I should be better about tracking my calories and could be better about getting exercise in daily, but I also want to enjoy life and having to diet always depresses me. So I'll keep doing what I'm doing and hope it keeps working even if it is a slower loss.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
