January Sleevers ❄️



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on 1/19 and lost 30 lbs since surgery. So from my perspective you're doing great! I'm with the other posters - my loss is kind of staccato - lose then stall, lose then stall. I've been in a lose for about 2 weeks (yee hah!). I'm preparing myself for patience in the stall that will surely come next (boo).

You all are doing great. Sounds like we all lose and stall, lose and stall. More inches than pounds


I am so glad I had the sleeve. I feel victorious.

I have not had Hair loss, I started taking Biotin before my surgery and continued after. It was not on my list the Dr gave me but it dissolves under my tongue so I sneaked it. I must say my skin and nails look great.;)

If the acne is hormonal, then so must be the Hair loss. Testosterone can be blamed for acne and hair loss among men and women. I'm not a doctor but that's my logic.

Zzzombrie, My oldest daughter dealt with the acne with hard notts under the skin. Her hair dresser that was also a makeup artist told her to put Calamine lotion on it , That it would kill the bacteria . It worked and she no longer deals with it. She suffered for years. I just thought I would share this with you

Today and the last few days the scale has not moved, but it is ok. I can tell the inches are coming off. I passed the mirror and was so surprised to see a girl I had not seen in a long time. I smiled and she smiled back. :)

My batteries are dead in my scales but I'm pretty sure I've been stuck at 248 for a couple weeks. 30 lbs list since Jan 15th but I couldn't eat for a couple weeks which I'm sure caused the stall, picking up some batteries tonight, lol

I'm on vacation right now and don't have my weight scale, food scale, gym or many of the things I've come to count on. In one week I'll be home, and hopefully pleased with my status. I rented a bike on vacation so every day I'll go for a ride to make sure I get exercise. I'm a little nervous about not being able to see my weight change daily.

@@winter1023 Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. At this point, I'm considering Accutane.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
