Any August 31st Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm a Sept 1 surgery person, so yesterday was 5 weeks for me. :-) These days about half the days I have 2 liquid Protein meals, and one solid, and half the days I do 2 solid and one liquid. I simply cannot take in enough Protein in a solid "meal" to be able to meet my protein goals otherwise. My typical meals are chicken breast shredded, or scrambled eggs with cheese or diced smoked turkey. Yesterday I had 3 (!) Ikea meatballs when we were out at dinner time, so about 6g protein, but very filling. So, later that evening I had a Syntrax nectar Lemon Tea to help top that off.

I've lost about 20 lbs since the day of surgery, but I had lost over 30 in the three months before surgery, so all my "Water weight" was already gone. :-)

I'm a 9/2 girl here!! I've lost 71 pounds since June 5. Since surgery 9/2, I've lost 37 pounds. I'm doing great. Only meats I really like/have tried are chicken breast. I've also tried turkey/beef Jerky and I chew it to a purée and I love that too. Still do not feel hungry at all and have to remind myself to eat. As for "soft" things, I like yogurt, scrambled egg, quaker oats "weight loss" low sugar and fat oatmeal, cottage cheese, lentils, pintos n cheese from taco bell, string cheese, SF popsicles and Jello. Liquids, I do 64 oz + a day of mostly pure Water because I love water and also diluted Powerade zero. I will not be having any bread, rice, Pasta or fried foods AT LEAST until I'm where I want to be weight wise. My new miss. Tammy keeps me in check! Although, I haven't gotten sick or thrown up NOT EVEN ONCE!! But I also chew VERY WELL and eat VERY SLOW. So that's a big help. Very proud of no puke since I am frightened of it touching me or getting it on me. It's a fear!

How is everyone doing? I am doing great, no complications. I'm down 69lbs. I was a tight 28 or 3x/4x- now I am wearing 18/20 or 1x and even a few smaller items. I'm getting my life back and couldn't be happier.

I'm down almost 73 pounds (includes 12 pounds on 2 week pre-op diet). The holidays have been a bit of a struggle, and I definitely need to kick the carbs again, but I've still lost some every week. No stalls yet, luckily. I'm also working out 2-3 times per week.

Hi, I guess I'm losing a bit more slowly than you guys but I'm OK with my progress - I'm down 60 pounds and from a tight sz 24 to 18/20. I've lost this much with weight watchers before (though not this fast!) but once I hit onederland, it's gonna be a whole new ballgame!

I'm a slow loser too but I'm losing so I'm happy.

Down from tight 16 to a loose 10, down 42 lbs so I truly can't complain. I've never averaged 10+ pounds a month before so in the grand scheme of things, I'll take it!!

I'm a September 1 person, and another stately-paced loser. :-) I am down 80+ lbs since I started my pre-surgery lose on Jun 1; 40 lbs of that is since surgery on Sept 1. I have gone from a 28+ in pants to a 22 (about to move to a size 20, probably by February), and in tops, I'm now wearing 14-16 at Lane Bryant, and a regular size XXL or XL at Target. However, most of my clothes are custom made by eShakti -- I have lost about 8 inches around my waist, 12 around my hips, and 6 around my bust. :-) In another 5 lbs or so, I will be at my lowest weight in over 20 years. Oh, and I've just taken up Pilates. :-)

Foodwise, I am eating more "regular" things, but in very small portions. I still have at least one Premier Protein shake a day, usually in the morning. I eat a lot of chicken, but also fresh mozzarella with salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar, and occasionally meatballs. I still haven't really eaten much beef that isn't in meatballs, and spicy food bothers me some.

Perhaps the silliest thing is that my shoes are all getting too big, so I have to replace them all with new smaller ones.

      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.
