Recommended Posts

Thanks!! I bought myself the Fitbit flex it keeps me on my toes and also motivates me to stay active, I week out I felt like myself finally so I started walking for about 45 minutes but this past Friday I started the gym and I enjoy the arc trainer less pressure one knees and I can stay on that for about 55 minutes!! Believe me I have impressed myself!! I am going to continue that 3x week and light weights 2x week......I would love a buddy to communicate with because only someone that has chosen the sleeve as a tool to help themselves be a healthier person knows what I am talking and feeling about. So let's motivate each other and communicate when we can!!! You innnnnn?

Hi! I am a October 8, 2014 sleever! Nice to meet everyone. I need some suggestions for Protein. The only one I am presently using is Atkins shakes with 11 ounces and 15 grams Protein. I need more variety and don't want to keep buying brands and then not liking them. They are too expensive. I would appreciate suggestions!!

I was sleeved on the 8th. Have lost 16 lbs (total 27 from HW)!

I love Atkins Protein shakes (vanilla and choc) and add Isopure unflavored (2 scoops-50 grams protein) and I drink it throughout the day. It's a whopping 65 grams of Protein so that meets my daily req.

I was sleeved October 6th. As of last week, I've lost 140 pounds since the day of surgery. I've taken this whole process terribly seriously and now I can finally relax a little now that I am in maintenance. Of course, I know I still have to put the work in to keep the weight off, but at least I can start eating a little more.

My weight loss is surprising to me since my restriction isn't as great as others. I can easily eat a cup of anything. It's more about making smart choices and only eating during planned times. I would love to hear how others are doing.

      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. 🤞
