I'm going to New York on 7/9 and plan on having a glass of wine. I think you're supposed to wait a year. Everything has agreed with my sleeve so I'm not anticipating any issues.

I haven't even tried any alcohol yet. I want too but I think if you wanna try it then do it. As long as your past the point of having a leak then it should be okay.

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a while since I checked in. Things are going well. I have been busy with the kids and counting down their return to school. Weight loss is going well. I'm down to 183 and feeling great. I am going to start boot camp on 8/17. I haven't done any strenuous exercise, only walking, so I anticipate some body changes and weight loss to follow.

My food is about 900 calories a day. Protein 90 g, Carbs 56 g, Fats 35 g

My clothing is almost nothing because I have shrunk out of everything. I have gone down from an 18/20 to a 14 and a 1X/2X top to a L. I am going to check out consignment and Goodwill for some work pants.

Nothing seems to bother my sleeve food wise.

Hope things are going well for you guys.

Tssiemer hope you're feeling better.

I'm doing well! Down about 70lbs, feeling amazing, physically and mentally. My hair is falling out in handfuls, but other than that, I can't complain. Those first two months were rough, but worth it.

@@bcostasbiggs how many months are you? I'm 3 months and just started losing hair. Not handfuls but a noticeable amount.

Three months. I was sleeved on 4/22. I just started noticing it was bad in the last week or two. I'm thinking pixie cut. :)

@@bcostasbiggs guess I forgot we are a week apart I was sleeved on 4/29. I'm going to try some product before going with a short cut. I'll be curios to see how things turn out for us.

@@Tssiemer1 - Ugh I just saw your post. Cdiff ain't no joke. Hope you're better.

I had a follow up appointment today with Ivan. Things are going great I'm down to 176, 26 pounds until my first goal. I thought I was losing pretty slow but Ivan was pleased with my progress. I did labs and everything is in the normal range. Labs are better than what they were pre-surgery. Hope every one is doing great.

I actually started with him and ended up having surgery at Georgetown with Dr. Eric Smith. He is fantastic and I truly love him!!

      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
