September sleeve



Recommended Posts

How are my fellow September sleeves doing so far? Just had surgery on the 2nd. Today is day four and can transition to full liquids. How has that been for anyone so far?

I too had surgery on 9/2/2015. I also had hiatal hernia repair. I think that is where most of my pain came from. I didn't walk after I came home (2 nights in hospital). The weather was bad and I just didn't feel like getting out of the house. I did do some leg lifts to help move the gas, etc. Is anyone having a lot of diarrhea? Boy, I am...about 30 minutes after I eat anything you better clear the path for me! I'm not able to use anything sugar-free. It tears my stomach up and gives me a headache. I knew this going in but my surgeon didn't seem to believe me. But that's OK. I see him on Thursday this week for a 2 week follow up. I'm down 15 pounds but 35 inches! I'm pretty excited. I'm just glad it's over before the holidays. I know I'll feel better to Celebrate them. Good luck everyone!

Don't compare yourself to other people byebyefat. Your journey is yours alone. Since my last reply I'm down about another 15 lbs. The total is about 46 now since my 9/14 surgery. How your doing well. I am exercising more now. The wit is coming odd showy and that's fine with me. My SW was 234. My CW is 187. Don't want to lose much more. I feel great. My hair is coming back. I was low in Vitamins A & K. Was laying hair by the handfuls but now I think it's normal again and my hairdresser told me today she sees lots of regrowth. Thank Gawd! How is everyone doing? I haven't been on here in a while.

Byebyefat. Question. I'm not very familiar with this site yet. How do you copy my reply then reply to it? I mis-spoke. I was deficient in A & B12. Not K as I said earlier. You will stalk fire a little bit and then start losing again. Are you exercising yet? Just move. Even if it's only 15 min.a day. Push yourself. Yolk be glad you did. Trust me. You will feel better physically and emotionally too. ???? XO ????

Well tomorrow will be 6 months for us. How are you doing? I'm down 50 and feeling like I've been reborn. Exercise is so much easier and I'm trying different classes at the gym now. Zumba, training, elliptical, treadmill. Want to try a yoga and kickboxing next. Hope all of my fellow sleeves are doing well. Happy Spring. ????????????

        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
