Hi sleevers ! Regarding going back to work - I waited 3 weeks and now 6 weeks out - I am still not at the energy levels that I hoped. I am a school teacher. I think it really depends on your job, your age, your intake of calories etc. and your general health. I was a major couch potato. Now I'm walking and taking dance lessons (cha cha cha!) so I thought that would up my energy but it really hasn't. Regarding calories - I have had no problem with eating since day 1 and average about 500-800 calories a day with about 60-90 grams of Protein.

All in all I do feel good - and just take naps in the afternoon when I'm really tired. I am getting about 8-10 (sometimes 12!) hours of sleep. I decided I would let my body tell me what to do and not stress about it.

To My Fitness Pall subscribers - I didn't realize we could add people to view our accounts. My logon is estipo if anyone is interested. I didn't keep up with it until the last 3 weeks or so (I'm 6 weeks out).

Unlike others who have posted - my issue is that I am almost always hungry and can eat anything !! Nutritionist and Nurse said that everyone is different - I have a very forgiving sleeve. I am worried though because I can eat up to 800 calories a day - but I am still losing (although slowly).

@@FATBGONE - I'm the same way! I still have hunger and my sleeve let's me eat almost anything! I'm losing slowly but I think that's a good thing.

I have a really hard time remembering to get my Protein in. I get busy and just drink some flavored water to shut up my tummy from growling. I've got to start doing better. I can definitely tell the difference with my weight loss when I get all my protein in.

As for going back to work, I went back to work 10 days after my surgery. I felt really good. I work a desk job from home so that made all the difference. Plus I just think I'm a fast healer and bounce back fairly quickly.

      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. 🤞
