Any October 2016 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Thanks! I decided to call. He said it wasn't high enough to be concerned yet but I needed to take more deep breaths. Use that breathing thing from the hospital.

I've had the same problem for the past 2 days. May be a result of fluids from hospital.

Well mine is on 10-22-16, but don't know what time yet. I've managed to quit smoking cold turkey...I've been smoke free for 6 weeks now...so that's a positive. I also started my own pre-diet that is loosely based on the actual pre-op diet so that in a about a week when I begin the actual pre-op diet it won't be such a big change. After having both of my knees totally replaced last year, I'm not too worried about this process. I'm not nervous and actually a bit excited to be honest. Good luck and wishing all a pain free recovery with no complications and fantastic results with your progress on this journey.

I have mine on the same date too so nervous

I would say the pre-op diet went ok. Lol. My surgeon wasn't really concerned because my liver shrunk significantly between June and now as I lost about 15lbs. He was pleased with my ultrasound results. I have to be at the hospital at 5am tomorrow. I have a feeling I will not be getting any sleep.

Any Oct 6 Sleevers out there?

Good time for a year 1 update!

1. Hit my goal (190) on March 3rd and been in between 183 and 192 since. Had my annual check up Wednesday and weighed in at 188.

2. ALL my blood work came in perfect, even my liver tests and glucose.

3. I exercise more than suggested - 70,000+ steps a week. My arthritis is mostly tamed and I even walk 18 holes of golf and carry my clubs!

4. I socialize more than I ever dreamed possible. If I see a bunch of unhealthy food coming my way, I have a beer, drink 1/3rd and dig in. Unhealthy food can't hurt you (much) if all you eat is 4-6 ounces.

The keys to my maintenance success are threefold:

1. Developing an arsenal of 100-200 calorie healthy "meals" that make up 90% of my diet. This pretty much enables me to eat carefree on the other 10%.

2. The exercise!

3. A great scale and fitness tracker to "keep me honest".

Without a doubt, the best thing I've ever done for myself!

Thanks for sharing @capecrooner and congrats! I was sleeved 10/5 and am facing another two weeks of liquids so it's really good to hear how things are going for you a year out. Do you mind if I ask what your weight was pre-op?

      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.
