How are my Dec 19th sleevers doing?



Recommended Posts

I'm still on full liquid but struggling to drink even that. Haven't found a good Protein I like yet. But I do get my fluids in. I go back to work tomorrow. Not sure I feel about that just yet.

Stats:

-5 pounds pre op

- 15 pounds week one

- 3 pounds week two (time of month)

23 pounds total

How are you guys doing?

I was sleeved 20th .. I have lost 35 total. Since dec 15. I had a 5 day liquid fast. This week has been a struggle for me when I got home from my 2 day hospital stay I am sure I over did it . My best friend and I had surgery on the same day / same doc she is up now running around feeling good .. I am not . I'm sure I tore something internal I hurt when sitting or standing I can't sit for long at all . I'm exhausted. And the last 4 days I have been 256 .. 255..266...255 .. . Idk why it just is . I do best with Protein Drinks in no tolerating food well it seems .. I'm assuming this is the "starter stall " I've been told of . I see my surgeon tomorrow .. Hope he doesn't team me to much . I am not anywhere near going back. Sad cause I thought I would be

I prefer my doctor's scale over mine so I'm going to wait to weigh myself until I go back there. I know I am losing because my clothes are getting very loose. My surgery was December 18th. I returned to work this past Monday. I feel pretty good but am getting tired of drinking Water. I'm adding lemon into it for now. I have started eating solids this past week, but am having a hard time with some foods. I do ok on fish and ground beef, like meatballs, it seems but not chicken or eggs. To get my Protein, I am relying on at least two shakes a day, I like EAS protein as well as OhYeah shakes and protein-enriched hot chocolate.< /p>

I took a leap of faith today. I purged my closet of the largest sized clothing (26). I decided to do it considering the weight I've lost already and that since returning to work I experimented with wearing some blouses that had gotten too tight. It was definitely my first NSV.

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

      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
