Hey all! So it has been 3 months since having the sleeve. I was just wondering where everyone is in terms of weight loss, exercise, eating, emotionally, socially, confidence wise, etc. Essentially how are you doing?!

.........;​Hi Miss. I am 4 months & 50 lbs and quite happy. I am very active socially....eating out and with friends homes is challenging but completely do-able because I can only eat 2-3 tablespoons of whatever. I avoid carbs & sugars totally. I think that is the secret to this whole thing....plus some exercise. I do the gym thing 2-3 times a week only (chair aerobics & stationary bike ). At age 74 I am pretty sure that's enough considering both my knees have been replaced.. I have great support and encouragement from both friends and family. ... Good luck to you.​

Me too. I had my sleeve March 22. Exercise is great, Im back to weight lifting and walk/jog. I feel pretty energized. In the beginning I was having buyers remorse bc of the soreness but its gone away now so Im good. Eating better and healthier is a must bc my stomach just wont tolerate the bad food anymore. The only thing that was frustrating was I went on a date and I could only eat the 2-3 tablespoons and I was full. My date was like thats it, and I was so embarrassed. But other than that, so far so good. I cant give you a number bc in the past the scale has been discouraging, but Ive gone from a 22W to a 18W and Im well on my way to a 16W.

I am 60 days out today and I have lost about 30 lbs. I am having difficulty eating enough since I'm just not hungry. I have to remind myself that my body needs fuel. Some days I have to have a shake at night as well as for Breakfast to hit my Protein number. :)

If my husband and I do go out, I order something small that I CAN have and then he doesn't order as much because he eats most of whatever I get.

Although I am the only one who had surgery, we are a team. I have a fantastic support system between my husband and family. For family gatherings, I bring chicken so I know that there is something that I will be able to eat and I can share the chicken with those who don't want burgers and hot dogs. My family is really great about not bugging me to eat more. They know that I just can't fit it in.

I haven't really done a lot for exercise yet, but I want to. I just need to find the right thing for me. That is the hardest part of this whole thing. Getting moving again. :) I know it will happen, I just have to make it happen.

        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
