Checking in on my fellow August sleevers. Running into the frustration of being finished before anyone else at the table.

I am having the same problem. Socializing over a meal used to be one of my faves. It can be a bit frustrating taking a couple of bites and realizing that you need to take a doggie bag when everyone else is just getting started.

60 grams is the goal my program requires... But exercising is what's helping me.

When I do cardio I eat some form of good carbs as I found since I did that I've lost better.. And by good carbs I mean oatmeal or quinoa.

I can't guarantee that will work for you. I can only say what works for me.

Plus I'm not sure what your program requirements are.. As everyone's are different. Mine allows carbs if they are on the " good carb list"

I don't eat a lot of it but I do add some on cardio days.

went to the doc yesterday for 3 month follow up. He wants us to be a 30% of excess lost...I was at 44%!!! Whoop!

He wants us at 60-65% at 6 months...I hope that now that I am exercising (training for a mini triathlon in August of next year to Celebrate being a year out) that my % will be higher. I am down 37lbs since surgery and 53.2 since preop. sleeved 8/12.

Hi August slevers..

I was sleeved August 4th weight of 215 did really well with surgery no pain killers drink my liquids with no problem. I really had a huge problem with Protein shakes was not able to hold them down so i started Soups and purees before time. I would puke at least once a day everyday and very low weight loss only 8 lbs in in 6 weeks. Had an appointment with my NUT that was a great thing. She told me reason my weight loss was so slow i was not eating enough Protein. Truth and behold have lost 3lbs in three days. I now feel much better everyone else i know has lost 20 to 25 lbs. hopefully I can get on track with keeping my protein intake high.

Good luck fellow sleevers....

I notice the same. When I don't get enough cals and Proteins I don't lose. When I up them both I'm averaging 1lb a day.

Hi i was sleeved August 18th and at this point I'm feeling great. Life has never been better lost 32lbs with the stall but took in more calories as myfitnesspal suggested and started losing again between 3 to 4lbs a week and inches. Im so happy with the way things are going if i hit a stall again i wouldn't mind. Because it gives my body time to catch up with the lose skin which i wont have much. Hw 278 cw 245.5. Good luck and keep in touch

      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. 🤞

      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.
