Hey August 2016 sleevers, how are you doing in Jan 2017?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved Aug 22, 2016. Started at 212, down to 165, but really stalling and very slow losing. How is everyone else doing that were sleeved in late August?

Hi. I am an August 22 too! I can relate to the stall/slow loss feeling. I was 255 August 1 - 236 day of surgery and I'm 181 today.

Just sticking with the plan and working in more exercise and weight training now.

Super excited about my energy and mobility so it's all good.

Plus I look pretty good - so there's that lol

Hi. I was sleeved August 30th. I was a lower BMI sleever with PCOS, high BP & cholesterol, and sleep apnea.

My highest weight ever was 243 awhile before my initial consult.

SW - 236

CW - 174

GW - 150

I feel like the last month and a half has gone slow, even though I've lost 20 pounds between November 8th and today (2/5/17). I think I have that perception because my doctors told me to stop weighing myself daily. I also think I am a little freaked out that goal is only 25 pounds away and I just want to hurry up and get there. I can definitely tell that I am still losing inches even when the scale doesn't move.

I have been going to the gym 4-5 days a week. I track my food. I've had problems with trying to take in calories so I don't blaze up everything I eat when I work out.

My biggest issue right now is trying to comprehend what I see versus the vision I have of myself in my mind.

August 23 surgery. HW 271.5 SW 246.9 CW 196.3 So that's 75 pounds from high weight and 50 pounds from surgery weight. Loss has slowed, but I haven't been to the gym as much as before. I think I need to up my calories. I'm still sitting around 900 a day. My goal is near 150, but I won't know until I get closer -- I don't want to look ridiculous.

I had surgery in early July, but I'm checking in here anyway. I'm really happy with how quickly I lost and how I've adjusted to the diet. My loss has slowed over the last couple of months but there's still a downward trend.

I was 214 day of surgery and this morning weighed 146. My surgeon recommended I get down to around 140 but I'd like to keep pushing past that as I'm only 5 feet tall

I was sleeved August 12. Starting weight 207, surgical weight 166. Current weight 136. Goal weight 125. Very slow loss now, but I'm not in a hurry, I'm working on conquering lifelong bad habits. Some days good, others, not so good.

        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.

      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
