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



Recommended Posts

To all my fellow February sleevers...... I have had a really big day in the last few days. I have lost over 100lbs, no longer have a bunch of meds or need to worry that I'm going to have a stroke at any moment, and I had a Tummy Tuck done on wed to get rid of the loose skin. I will never have to worry again about getting a disgusting yeast infection in my belly rolls that stinks like rotten ass! All of this has been accomplished in 9 months! My sleeve surgery was Feb 21st and I am so proud of the accomplishments I have made. I am careful to not over eat but at the same time do not deny myself a treat. I really hope and pray that all the other sleevers have had a similar wonderful journey. Share your finest moment since ur surgery.

Congratulations Pammycakes! Hope you recover from your TT with ease! I have been so thankful for this surgery and the results, 88lbs down so far. I still have 16lbs to lose to reach my goal. I plan on rewarding myself by going shopping for some new cloths. Of course I've had to do that already. I was squeezing into size 24W and now I wear 16W in pants and 14/16 on top or an XL. It sure is a lot more fun shopping for cloths! Everything is a lot more fun!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving every one! Today is my 9 month surgiversairy and I'm so thankful for it! I'm down 88 lbs! I have been in a stall for the pst month but I'm gonna keep working at it. I find that I struggle with head hunger a lot. Stress really makes me want to eat. But also I have real hunger. I was hoping I wouldn't care about food and not really want to eat but for me that is not the way it is. Thankfully, I can't eat all that much! Blessing to you all!

You're determination and persistence will overcome all

DOS 2/20/13. SW 224. CW 168. GW 135. The first 3 months I lost an Ave of 10 lbs per month and I've slowed to 5 lbs per month since June but it pushes me to start running and hiking and now weight training to continue the losing which improves my health so I am satisfied though anxious and striving to hit my next goal of 150 then hopefully 135. I am humbled and impressed to no end at the awesome and inspiring group of losers I am a part of. Cheers fellow February'ers!!

It's been almost a year now. I had surgery on 2-12-13. I've lost 91 lbs! I feel so much better. Haven't had the first issue, didn't lose any hair, have not been hungry, have not regretted surgery for a second. My husband is being sleeved on 1-2-14. I'm excited for him. I'm learning to enjoy buying clothes once again. People at work call me skinny sometimes. Had one person who didn't know me ask me how I stay to slim and trim. Love it!!

Definitely experienced a slow-down during the past few months, but am happy with my over-all progress. I should hit my goal weight before my 1 year surgi-versary. Good luck to all!

Yay!

Why is it- we all seem to be down to around 5ish lbs lost a month now-- anyone able to still get 10 lbs or more a month-- ideas thoughts and suggestions appreciated

I think the rate of weight loss slows the closer you are to your goal. At this point I feel like I have to exercise a lot to keep things going and also keep track of what I'm eating.

      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.
