Any April 1st sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My surgery was April 3rd, so in another week or so i will be at the 3 month mark. Doing well overall - i am down 40 lbs and just this month i have really started exercising. I walk 2 miles every morning before work and i got a Nike Fuelband and this is keeping me motivated. I really thought that the weight would come off faster - but at least it is consistently coming off. I feel like I can eat A LOT... a lot more than that 1/2 cup they said I would be able to eat. That being said, Im not overly hungry so i think i am still having "head" hunger and am trying to get my arms around that. Also - gettin the Protein in is hit or miss. 60-80 grams is a lot.. would love to know how you all are doing it.

I had surgery on the 2nd of April and my process has gone pretty smoothly. No complications. As of last Wednesday I was down 50 lbs. Starting weight of 271 current 221. I'm 5' 10'. Overall I am happy with my progress. I had some weeks where I would loose only 1 lb and some when I lost 4-6 lbs. I have no idea why this happened. I can't find any trend that would cause this. As far as my hunger goes, it's weird sometimes I feel like I can eat everything and then other times I barely eat and am satisfied. I do indulge in small amounts of goodies at times like Gummy bears, twizzlers, sherbert, etc... But even on those days I only have small amounts and still don't go over my 800 calories a day. I try to exercise 3-4 times a week. I do step aerobics mostly or walk. I use the my fitness app and a fitbit flex to help keep me accountable for my activity and food. My Protein intake is around 40-60 a day. I drink a Syntax nectar Protein Drink everyday so that gives me 25 g. I also started juicing and drink a juice everyday. They sometimes have a lot of carbs in them so I stopped paying attention to my carb intake. :/. I also stopped taking my Vitamins religiously. I kind of take them here and there. I have my 3 month check up next week so I hope my levels are ok. I just hope I continue to loose weight. I'm scared I will fail and regain my weight.

      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. 🤞
