January Sleevers ❄️



Recommended Posts

Get off the scale folks. I'm just as guilty and it's everyday for me but that Water weight especially in woman fluctuates a lot. I think covering it up, hiding it, etc...will help. Pick one day to weigh yourself a week. Good luck to us all and keep up the good work.

If my weight was fluctuating, yeah, I might chalk that up to Water weight. But it is NOT changing. I think that's what makes it even more frustrating. It says the EXACT same number every single day. It went up .1 one day, but the next, it was right back down and hasn't changed. It's just weird.

The lower the body weight the harder it is going to come off. Try mixing up your work outs. I'm so heavy that the weight is going to come off cause it is practically being starved from its previous state. I had to look into hiring a trainer so that when I start to stall I know how to over come it. Most of the people who got surgery in the US should of been directed to a Nutritionist for assistance and that person should be able to give you insight on how to mix up your eating and give you suggestions for more metabolism boosting foods, Only suggestions. We will all stall just depends on how and when. Good luck guys and gals!

I'm two weeks post-op today and had a pretty typical recovery. Although yesterday and today I am having painful shooting pains beside my belly button, about an inch and a half below my big incision. Pain makes my cry out and almost takes me to my knees. Anyone experience this?!?!

Wow @@joshwah that's awesome. My surgery was Jan 19 and I'm only down 2 pounds. I gained THIRTEEN pounds in the hospital from fluids and have lost all that, but would love love love to get a little of whatever magic youve got going. I've been compliant, just wish those old pounds weren't so attached to me. They aren't kids anymore and its time for them to move out and get a place of their own!

Screw the scale! Get a measuring tape. It's the most accurate at measuring body fat.

Ok I have a question what is the amount of food your doctors have told you that you can eat. I got in extensive log of what I'm allowed to eat eat phase and how long each of my phases are suppose to be but I have not gotten anything on how much. Since I'm still at the beginning of my full liquid phase I have just been "eating" 4 oz at a time if I can and if not then I finish it later. I'm super super paranoid about eating to much, I sip my food then wait about 20-30 sec inbetween each sip to see if I'm full. I just want to hear everyone else's ideas or suggestion

@@Mariah13 I'm having the same issue! It's right beside my biggest incision and it's a sharp kind of burning pain. I was told it's just the skin healing. I hope it goes away soon because that's my only complication to date :(

      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.
