I was sleeved on 6/24 as well and down 49 lbs. Sounds like we 3 are in the same boat! Cheers to us! I'm at 237 as of yesterday. I still have energy issues & it sucks to eat. I do Protein shakes for Breakfast and a Quest bar for lunch a modified dinner with hubby & son.

Are you taking B 12 shots? Once I started taking those me energy level has skyrocketed

Did you notice the B12 Energy wearing off after a while? I'm back to napping again. I'm taking 2500mcg sublinginal (sp). & have not much energy. :(

I was Also sleeved 6/24 I can relate to no energy I feel so tired and sluggish by 12 ! I work 10 hr days and it's hard getting through the day even increasing my Vitamins ???? I'm down 60 lbs. I'm 170 super happy but it's a challenge everyday to move around in the afternoon any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Hoping for energy !

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
