Any APRIL SLEEVERS? Let me know your progress !



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved April 22 and I'm down 32 pounds. Over the last week I've hit a stall and I'm wondering what you all do to move past that. I walk 30 minutes every day, but still not able to get all my daily Protein in. I can't tolerate the shakes, so any advice would be appreciated!

I cannot stand the shakes either. I'm far along enough to eat eggs, tuna, etc. there may be a few Protein Bars out there you can eat. I'd ask your NUT first though.

I have lost about 40 lbs so far.

I was dizzy for a bit and then my Dr decided to try me on no BP meds for a bit and see how that goes.

I know when I am full as I get a tightness in my chest. I did the cottage cheese test and found out that my capacity right now is at 5 oz. No vomiting yet. Although I did have grilled asparagus and that seems to be the only thing right now that made me have an ill feeling.

Sleeved on 4/24. Down 29 lbs since the day of surgery and down 44 including the 2 week pre-op diet. Started at 331 but I am 6 ft 4 in so that might explain why I've lost so much. Off my metformin and blood pressure pill. Couldn't be happier! Best thing I could have done.

Sleeved 4/4. Down 19 lbs. Slow and steady, no stalls yet. But super frustrating to be reading about everyone's big losses. So happy for you, but discouraged that it's not happening like that for me. Have been staying off the boards, it's getting to me...

I know what you mean. I was sleeved 3/26 and lost 22lbs. I feel like I should have lost more. It's getting to me too. E

And I'm doing everything I'm told from surgeon and nut. I hope we stay positive!

Sleeved April 9th, down 31 lbs since surgery and 54 overall since Mar. 2nd.

Only been walking 3 times a week but planning on adding elliptical and some weights next week. The ride has been rather easy surprisingly only after the first 10 days which were somewhat rough. No vomiting to this point but knowing the full point while eating still a challenge. I'm in the soft food stage still doing 1/2 to a cup per meal for two more weeks then...on to the real life foods :). Protein shakes a must! Muscle milk chocolate is this bomb! And an easy way to get a quick 20 g's in a day.

It's getting better folks and now the stares and compliments are starting to become a regular thing. Good luck April sleevers,this summer will be a good one!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
