Share your flipagram progress video & help inspire others



Recommended Posts

I would love to see others flipagram videos of there progress! It is such a great way to show our journey & our progress!

I put up a flipagram video about a week ago to show my 7 mths of progress! I was not sure when i put it up on here the first time if it would work but i was thrilled to see that it did. I started @ 321 LBS & was down 89 LBS when I made the video! I am currently down a total of 93 LBS about a week later! But I will add it here as well!

hair you may or may not lose along the way on your journey to a much happier, healthier you!!!

Good luck to each & everyone of my fellow sleevers & soon to be sleevers on your life changing journey & always remember if you feel noone understands what you are going through, you always have this website & your sleeve family!!! NEVER GIVE UP, KEEP MOVING FORWARD & NEVER LOOK BACK!!! Use your struggles to help keep you on track!

I just wish that people that use the mobile app could see our signatures and profile pix and before and afters.... there is alot of inspiration to be found there and it just isn't seen because so many people use the app.

Yes that is very true also... that is something we should bring to Alex's attention to see if there is anyway to get that fixed so that it works on the mobile app!!! I have not figured out how to put pics up on my profile bcuz I only use the mobile app.

Thank you very much!!! I am so much happier! It truly was a blessing to have this surgery! It saved my life & not just for me but for my daughter & my grandbabies as well bcuz I can do so much more woth the little ones & when my daughter was growing up I was so miserable by the time she hit her teens that I was just grumpy all the time & just tried to avoid most things & now when she comes home to visit from college we can enjoy more things together! & my step-grandbabies are happier to bcuz I can go to the park & actually play with them!!! It is an amazing feeling as the weight comes off bcuz I am no longer in a dark miserable place!!!

I so sympathize with what your saying. I was so depressed and miserable. I made everyone else that way too. This has changed all of our life's: myself, kids, and my sweet lil grand baby. I feel happy, healthy, and terrific.

Thank you so much MaryE!!! I will be keeping a look out for your progress pics &/or videos!!! Documenting this whole journey is the second best thing I ever did for myself, the first being the sleeve!!! The documenting of it helps us remember just how far we have come & where we do not want to go back... it shows us shedding our second skin & coming out with smiles so wide & a much healthier us!!! I wish you the very best on your journey & like I said I will be waiting to see your journey!!!! When is your surgery set for???

I am meeting with my surgeon again tomorrow. All my tests are done unless they need something more. I am hoping to get my surgery date tomorrow. I had the lap and done by the same surgeon in November of 2005. I did well in the beginning. I lost about 90 pounds. Bit I had the smaller band which didn't give to much room for fills. Hard to get to that sweet spot. To loose it extremely tight. Little by little I put back 70 pounds. I was so miserable with the band. Looking forward to having band out and sleeved same surgery. I'll post again with surgery date. I'm hoping for sometime in March. Thanks again for the ap. it really is inspirational. Thank you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
