Recommended Posts

Hey sleevers! I was sleeved 8/31/2015 in NJ! My SW: 414 lbs (that becomes alot easier to say as I am losing weight, but my god was it tough to say in the beginning ) My CW: 296 and my GW (for now, this is what I set in the beginning of this journey) is 170lbs. I'd love to hear from everyone on how they are doing! (especially august sleevers!) If there is one thing ive learned through all of this, it is to take pictures! Some days I get down on myself because I have so much farther to go, but I go back to pictures and it brings me back to reality. here is my before and after picture, and Id love to see everyone elses! same shirt, 118lb difference post-262060-14580872300088_thumb.jpg

WOW! What a change. That shirt is much longer, your stomach and butt are no longer pushing out the shirt. Even your arms are smaller. I know when you were 4 months out you didn't see a change but I sure hope you can see it now. Your looking rally great!

When I started my weight loss journey I was 497. Over many years I lost down to 314 before my surgery in Jan and I didn't see the change. Now that I am down to 263 I see the change, my clothing is falling off of me and I had to take in several pants. I have not gone shopping yet as I am on disability but know I will have to soon as my blouses really can't be taken in on the top half of my body.

You keep going strong and you will get to your goal of 170 real soon and be amazed at the size clothing you will be wearing and how great you will feel.

I'm soooo proud of you! I know how hard it is as I have struggled with my weight most of my life.

I have also found pictures to be the best motivator and comforter when the scale isn't moving fast enough.

You should be so proud of yourself bc I can definitely see the difference!

Here's my before and after:

        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
