Any APRIL SLEEVERS? Let me know your progress !



Recommended Posts

Sleeved 4/17/13 and I'm down 54 pounds. I spent a few weeks really nauseated and they found my gallbladder was diseased so I had emergency surgery to remove that. Since then I've had zero nausea and have been able to start incorporating new foods as tolerated. Good luck everyone!

Sleeved 4/2 and down 64.2lbs.... I'm only 5'2" we'll almost....and my start weight pre op was 238.8 CW is 174.6.... Not sure what my goal weight should be.... I have a larger body frame them most women.... More muscle then fat ratio percentage.... I'm thinking 140 would be a good weight ? But I guess I'll just see how it goes! Exercise 3-4 times a week as I'm just lazy but I get outside more now to do physical activity! I think that just keeping your body moving is the key!

Why in the world would you eat candy I thought the whole purpose of getting this surgery was to lose weight and gain healthy eating habits. I have given up bread, sugar and alot of other things because I hated myself at 360 pounds. I'm down 70 pounds since being sleeved on the 8th of April. Yes sometimes I want something sweet but I just don't feel like the extra calories are worth it. I think that if you are falling into old habits you need to refocus on what it is you want from your surgery. It's easy to fall back especially if something doesn't make you sick but think about how much more you would hate your self if the scale was going up instead of down. There are many alternatives to candy bars. I love frozen fruit or raw veggies with lemon and Chile powder . If candy is a must for you buy the minis and limit your self to one just to satisfy your craving . Sorry I just had to get that out I wish you all the best of luck

I agree, I sometimes get cravings but literally 2 bites is all I need and I'm totally satisfied!

I was on a stall for about 10 days with the scale not moving. I read on here the recommendation to eat avocado to help get off a stall and it worked or it could be coincidence.???? I had some avocado slices last night and this morning I was down 2 lbs. I think I'll just keep eating a little avocado each day and see if the scale keeps moving.

Day of Surgery -- 4/25/13

Weight loose -- 34 lbs

I'm so happy today! I'm 9 weeks out today and finally hit the 30 lbs down mark, maybe this stall is over as I averaged 2 lbs a week this month. Or I'm just a slow loser. Either way I excited now and can't wait to get into a exercise routine to go along with low calorie intake. Who knows I could get to 40 lb. mark by 4 th of July .

Congrats! Lots of cardio get the weight off before you try and put on muscle. I do lift a small amount of weights but only to maintain. I put light weight and do about 3 sets of 20 for whatever I do. But right now focus on lots of cardio

So apparently my 2 week stall is over. I've lost 4 pounds so far this week and my pants are officially falling off of my butt. I finally hit a size 20 which I'm hoping to go through quickly because most of my leftover clothes are 18 and under. I really don't want to shop for something that will only fit for a few weeks to a month.

@babygirl09, I stalled at 30 lbs for about 8 days. Then I started eating avocado with my meals, ( egg whit omelet with a little avocado and cheese for Breakfast, slice if avocado with what ever I have for dinner) and for some reason them started loosing weight again. No clue if its the avocado or coincidence but I'm keeping at it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
