Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I suck ???? only 78 lbs down since HW and 58 down since surgery. My Dr just put me on thyroid medicine so I'm hoping that will help. I'm discouraged but I also haven't had much time to work out lately so I'm sure that is some of it.

You don't suck! 78lbs is fantastic! I've only lost 70 but i know I would've still been almost 300lbs last year. At least you know why (so do I) the weight loss has stalled and how to fix it! Good luck and keep at it!

Hello my fellow sleevers I pray all is well with you. Today is one year exactly that I had my sleeve done, and it has been an interesting adventure to say the least . I am down 136 lbs and my shirt measurements went from 4Xl shirts to XL my waist went from 52" to 38". I was declared non diabetic no more meds. I have accomplished a minor milestone and ran my first 3K last Sunday, in 38 minutes. All in all I am blessed and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Don't give up hang in there my Doc says I'll still continue loosing for another 6-8 months. Almost to my goal weight 30 lbs away so I'll have to focus and hit it hard. Reward yourself on small accomplishments and above all continue to love yourself. Welcome to you new life!✌️????

Hello it's been a very long time. I need to get back into thinks. I'm not as focused on my weight loss not being involved here or wearing my pedometer. I've not lost in a while. Hit 100 lbs gone & gained 2 back. Need a good kick in the butt. Anyone in my shoes? Could use a good talk in' to.

I've been on a plateau for amidst a year now, ever since I had my gall bladder removed I have only lost s few more lbs. very frustrating but I know a lot of it has to do with an unfortunate popcorn and chip addiction that I have exiled out of my life a few weeks back. Stupid salty crunchy stuff!!!

So, after a well earned tongue lashing from my nut, and some encouraging words from my doc, I think I'll break the cycle and start losing again.

Just remember that you have lost 100# and that is something to be proud of! It took a lot of hard work and dedication to do that and you are continually improving yourself with every choice you make that leads in the direction you want to go. We are aloud to Detour, let's both find that path again!

Hi ladies! I am there too!! I have gained 4 lbs. so here are some steps I am going to try to take to get back on track.

1. Start excercizing regularly!

2. Stop snacking, and drink more Water or Protein Shakes between meals.

3. Go to a support group monthly.

You know... All the things we all already know! Just gotta get back to basics!

Wish me luck! I know you can do it! Good job on coming this far. Cheers to a healthy life! ????

I guess I will make an appt with the nutritionist. Some time just opened up for me to exercise. I was my dads caregiver and he passed last month. But I'm depressed and don't want to do anything ????

I'm having knee replacement on Dec 11th. Praying I can get back on track with my eating and hopefully be back to exercising.

Haven't even been on here in a while. How is everyone doing? I'm down to the smallest I've been in my adult life but still not to goal. Weighing between 168-174 lbs depending on the day. Down almost 100 lbs total. Developed diverticulosis due to not being regular which is miserable. But overall I am still happy with where I am and I don't believe my journey will end here. Wearing about a size 10 now and can't wait for the true 8. I still keep up my Protein intake like I should, don't exercise much (horrible I know) and indulge myself once in a while. So...how are you all faring???

      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.
