Week 6: May 27-31st Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I did get the 6 month results back and all were normal! I've never had normal blood tests my entire life, always bad chol and triglycerides and Vitamin d deficiency ever since I was a teenager. So cool we got the green light to try. We've been looking forward to that news for five years. AND while I was there my doctor called me out on not doing strength training as well so he made a point to "clear" me for all levels of lifting and strenuous exercise :P

In terms of being cold, I was already cold before surgery with low blood pressure. Now I've lost my protective blubber layer (it shouldn't be funny but really it is.) Now I live in Antartica-land-coldness. Luckily, the heated blanket and the heated mattress pad I got for christmas does help too! I've started to wear thicker/more socks, gloves more often, covered shoes, and I drink herbal tea all day long (good for hydration and antioxidants too.) I've also tackled coldness with more hot soaking baths, which is a refreshing way to take care of myself, something that "big me" never made time to do.

Hi everyone it's been awhile since I've been in here. I am going well SW 208 CW 148. 8 lbs to my goal dr says 135 would be ok too.

I am finding myself ALOT colder than I used to be. ( no more flubber, I guess lol) cleaning out closest of size 12 pants now a size 10.

Constipation is a battle dir to our diets with more Protein. fruit will help I do the squeezable fruit packets they are a great size for us. On another blog I am a member of Smooth Move herbal tea was suggested. I tried that and it worked fine. I take the occasional stool softener too. I really see a difference when I add fruit and increase fluids.

I still think in my mind I am fat. Maybe that will always be the case. As far as exercise goes I try to get 10,000 steps in daily and go to the occasional kick boxing class.

As far a sex drive mine has stayed about the same. I just seem TIRED ALL THE TIME. Not sure if it my traditional seasonal depression due to no sun or what? Or the newer job working three nights a week.

Hope this finds everyone well

Including and updated pic from Christmas. Happy new year everyone!

For the sugar rush, someone told me to get some chrome supplement, apparently it really helps, and for period you need a summpllement that is called "DIM" it helps with hormonal issues....good job on loosing the 80 lbs and good luck to your mom

I have a question....are your ass hurting too? I guess it has to do with not having a plump butt anymore. I can feel my tail bone, and if i dont sit correctly, it´s uncomfortable.

Well I fell on the ice a few weeks ago and my butt has been hurting ever since. People keep joking its because I no longer have a butt LOL

I have lost everything but this stupid stubborn stomach. Literally everything else one me has gotten tiny. I lost half my boobs but they have stayed the same for a while now.

I cannot find the Facebook group.

      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.
