April Sleevers! Where are you at in your Journey?



Recommended Posts

I am doing well and very happy with my progress.

I joined the local wellness center and have been swimming three to five times a week.

I am feeling good and becoming more mobile.

I'm doing good! Down 92 lbs...hoping to hit 100 by Dec 31st! I am noticing it is definitely easier to eat but still losing so that's good! I still have weird things that make me sick like cold milk but dr says it's normal ????.

How's everyone else doing?

Not gaining, that's the good news but have slowed down. I am 71 lbs down from date of surgery and 86 lbs from this time last year. Woohoo!!!

I'm down to 195... not exactly where I wanted to be at this stage of my weight-loss and still hoping to lose more. I recently notice that I don't get sick as much and I hungry more often which makes me nervous... I just don't want to fall back into old habits.

Sounds like everyone is doing great!

I am down about 160, but more importantly I am regaining my mobility and my life!

I am swimming laps regularly and am able to swim longer and faster than I have in years.

I'm doing well. Weightless has definitely slowed to a crawl since returning to the gym in September. It's taken me 3 months to lose 15lbs! But I'm down 70lbs since surgery and 135lbs from my highest weight. I still have a long way to go, but I feel confident I'll get there eventually. I have to keep telling myself this isn't a sprint. ????

@@CapeMom3 There are many brands out there and trust me after surgery your taste buds are going to be different so prepare yourself carefully. What you like now you may not like after surgery. Watch the sugar content in your shakes as I have found for me after surgery anything that had a sugar content of more then 3 grams was to sweet. Good luck to you.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
