JULY SLEEVERS- How are you doing?



Recommended Posts

@coyote @JupiterSky thanks for the replies back guys! I'm going through so much and have given up. I eat a Protein bar in the morning, and drink a Protein Shake but everything else throughout the day I eat and drink whatever I want.

My weightloss could have been so much more by now but oh well! I can only try to be better today and moving forward.

We cannot let OTHER PEOPLE in our lives dictate how we feel anymore. Whether personal relationships with partners, family or even at work...we have come way too freaking far to let them make us feel like **** about ourselves to the point where we revert back to our old habits of eating like crap to make us feel better. We can't do that anymore.

It's so hard and easier said than done but I know we can do it.

Good luck! xo

I,was sleeved on 7-21-2017 and I have no regrets wha t so ever! My weightg loss is slow but none the less I am very happy. I have lost 42 LB and many inches. I have went from a size 24 to an 18. But the biggest thing that I am most grateful for is that I was able to have the hernia surgery that I have waited 6 years for. Due to four abdominal surgeries I had 3 large hernias that really hindered my ability in everything I did. But no more!!! I had my hernia surgery on 12-19-2017 and it has made a huge difference in how I walk, my ability to dance again and just the overall happiness of looking down and seeing my stomach flat again!!!
Before surgery for the last 4 yrs, I did not eat, Pasta, bread, soda or fast food, so I do not miss that. I drink Water and coffee only.
I try to get at least 60gr of Protein, I eat a Protein Bar and shake everyday. But I just don't eat very much and I am very happy with that. Food was never my friend, I had guilt every time I ate and now that is gone. I pretty much eat when I am hungry and I eat what I want. Sometimes it just a few bites and I am done. I do not eat sweets at all, when I feel I want something sweet I have a sugar free cookie and that's it. My guilty pleasure is a few spicy nacho Doritos, lol. Even then it's only 5 or 6, not the whole bag.
I look forward to dancing!! I walk a lot , have lots if energy and keep thinking it can only get better.
If you look for me on Instagram you can see my journey.
And I did tell my sister's who were very supportive! I told them in October bc I knew my hernia surgery was coming up. They have been my biggest cheerleaders besides my hubby.
I am very happy and thankful everyday.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
