Any Oct 6 Sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

Walked and jogged six miles today. Feeling stronger everyday. Dow 38 lbs so far. I am getting ready to hike the superior trail next summer. If you want to join me let me know.

Six miles! That's great! Did you do it all in one session? I am only up to between 2 and 2.5 miles at a time and no were near jogging yet, I've only been walking the past two weeks. With time I hope to improve my distance and time.

Yes all in one trip. I started walking like you and started mixing in jogging. Keep going and build up the speed. You can do this and it will feel so good. Kick back and relax after. Keep us posted on how your doing.

Since my meals went from refried Beans and mashed sweet potatoes to shredded chicken and baked fish, my weight loss seems to have accelerated.

I love the encouragement and feed back from my new found family on this board and I'd like to get to know y'all a little better. Your occupation, your family, where your from, your successes etc.

I'll start...

I have been married 21 years today :) to my absolute sole mate Adam. We have 4 children age 27, 19, 17, and 8 (we adopted the last one, lol). I am currently an elementary school nurse (been nursing for the past 25 years) but the last 20 years of it really desired to be a school teacher. So six years ago I went back to school for my teaching degree, and happily I will graduate this December, and will be switching careers.

I have live in Longview, TX for the past 17 years (a transplant from New Jersey), and am in the process of selling my home to move to the Galveston Bay area of Texas, where my husband and 17 year old moved to this past August for his new job.

One last thing, I took a walking class last semester and was provided with a walking data sheet (It's an excel document). Anyway, it asks for some data like your height, weight, age and calculates your bmi. It then ask you to put in you average steps per day for two days and then gives you a starting point to increase every week. At the end of 23 days you put in you new weight and it gives you a new BMI. I'm using it to encourage me to walk a little more every day.

If anyone would like a copy, you can email at cholland@lisd.org

Congratulations on your granddaughters!!

I too am struggling a bit, and wanting it to fall off overnight!

Travelling the world how exciting! Where were you last and where are you going next? My goal is Italy for my 25th anniversary.

BTW I'm a beach person and summer of 2014 went to Gulf Shores and loved it!!

Turks and Caicos! I'm jealous :) I will get there someday.

Your doing so good you should have no problem meeting that goal!, I'm Disney World bound in 16 days, I was hoping for a 30 pound total loss by then (Surgery 10/5)... we will see.

I have an idea. Is it when you think you are going to fart, but the SH comes out instead?

Hopefully you did not fall victim to it!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
