feb 2013 sleevers weigh in



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on 3/13. 311 was my high weight, 294 on day of surgery. Today I weighed in at 263 for a total weight loss of 48 pounds. All my clothes pretty much no longer fit and I'm feeling pretty good.

No problem. I would have been a bit worried for you had that been the case :-)

Went for my one month appointment yesterday and I now weigh 235. I started at 261 before the pre op diet. Day of surgery I weighed 251. 2 week post op appointment I weighed 238. I was stalled but I upped my Water and was able to go down to 235. Doctor said to keep doing what I'm Doug and expect a loss of 5-10 lbs a month. Slow but steady stays the course.

Me 2... It's so depressing when you stall.. U feel like is this it?! Is this all I'm going to loose? I walk alot drink plenty of fluids... & stalling 3weeks now the scale has not moved.. I'm thinking I'm I over eating? Even tho I can't eat much? Like what is happening :-(

Mee too :( I lost 10 lbs the first week post op surgery. It is now 3 weeks and the scale has not not moved at all. I'm getting so discouraged seeing the high numbers everyone else is losing.

I too am a slow looser. Just rememeber it is coming off in inches probably! Thatb is how mine is working. Just re evaluate your Protein and Water. And slow means you most likely won't loose your hair.< /p>

Hit 6wks out Thursday and down 45lbs on the nose. I only started taking measurements at 1 month 4days out, but have since lost a total of 9 inches off my neck, waist, and hips (combined). Water intake is so much easier as I can drink easier these days. I don't really don't drink much else, but I will have an occasional glass of skim milk. I've gotten the husband to alter his eating habits slightly (replacing ground beef with found turkey for recipes, skim milk, more veggies and lean protein) so this has been a family journey :) pretty awesome so far. Hope everyone is doing well!!

I am 5'2"

Weighed myself today it is now 32 days since surgery and the scale has moved a little bit more YAY!! I guess I am just a slow loser. I am now 168lbs. My goal weight is 130lbs. 38lbs to go :)

The best thing i can tell everyone is, the scale will move again. I stalled for two weeks and i uped my calories and quite worrying so much and that helped me get moving. I found a great article that discribes the physiology behind the stall and its prerectly normal. So good luck to everyone and doing a dance im finally down 37

      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.
