Any APRIL SLEEVERS? Let me know your progress !



Recommended Posts

Hit my goal weight yesterday :D . I'm down 95 pounds from April 1st 2013. My Surgery was April 30th. I have been very active cycling, running doing whatever I can. I plan to run my first half marathon with my wife in April 2014. I continue to seek new ways to be healthy. I am strongly considering a vegan or vegetarian diet, I am still in the information gathering stage though. I look forward to the next cycling season and plan on doing a century ride(100 miles) every month during the summer. I couldn't of did this without my VSG, I am very confident that this would have not been possible without it. Now comes the hard part or so I tell everyone who asks. I frequently tell people that loosing the weight has never been difficult for me to do, but the hard part is maintaining my ideal weight and health lifestyle. Below is a photo collage I made last night of my transformation. Although this forum has not been a regular place for me to visit I am thankful it is here for reference. Good luck everyone.

Sleeved April 18. Down 71 lbs. If I exercised more, I'd be closer to goal. I am inspired by those of you, who've already adopted an exercise routine. I'm still learning to use all of my tools. Still i'm happier than I have been in YEARS!

My surgery with Dr. Aceves was on April 25. I was 214 the day of surgery now I am 137. I am a completely different person. I am soooo happy that I had it done, I just wish it had been years ago. It makes me mad to think of all the good years I missed out on.

I'm down from 284 to 169 pounds. I'm 4 from my goal weight. I went from a size 24 and can squeeze into a 5 now. My only regret is not having this done years ago. I already bought a bikini for next summer but I'll have to wait until I can get this extra skin removed. There's probably close to 30-40 pounds of skin alone. It's gross but worth it.

      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.
