Any So Cal Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Wow! I just found this forum! Why has it been almost 2 years since someone posted anything?😯😔

I live in San Bernardino county. I was sleeved on August 16, 2017. Im now 4 mos out & have lost 33 lbs but i lost 4 dress sizes. I have 2 daughters both live in my same area & both have been sleeved. One Had her sugery 8 mos ago & doing ok. She's been experiencing some light headness but is okay! The other daughter had her surgery a week ago on Nov. 29, 2017. Shes doing well just dealing with the usual eating problems we all may have experienced till we got to the pureed phase. Are there any other So Cal new Sleevers?

I was sleeved July 19th. 5 months out now, 43 lbs down. Doing very well. Didn’t drop any sizes for 3 months, lost sooooo slowly too. Now I’m in size L instead of 2x! It’s so amazing. Best thing I ever did. Glad your sleevie family is doing so well.

Thank you GotPro!

I think your weight loss is pretty good! Losing it slow to me is the best way to go cause then you dont have to worry about your skin flabing so much! Being 62 I learned that i will have some flabby skin but im not ready to except that! Thats why I read up on taking more collegan to help replace whats lost thru aging! I've add more citrus fruits( now that im off all meds) and I might add collegan powder to my Protein shakes! I'll check with my Dr first of course!😄

Keep up the good work that your doing & I wish you well!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
