August Sleevers-How are you doing??



Recommended Posts

Congrats on your success! I was sleeved in August and am down 115 lbs still have a ways to go but feel so much better. A few people have commented but I think some are hesitant to do so which is fine by me. I struggle to see the change in myself. It’s all in my head. I haven’t bought new clothes fornfear a smaller size won’t fit. Makes no sense I know. My clothes are much looser but still wearable... definitely a journey we’re on!

Dumping syndrome usually happens when taking in to much sugar, or more common with a bypass. Definitely try looking for a diffrent weight loss Dr and get another opinion, could be something else going on. I switched Dr's myself after 3 months of seeing my initial WLS, i much happier and have better support from my weight loss /family physician Dr. Goodluck to you😊

My doctors basically gave up on me. Can't get an appointment. I weighed roughly 330 at surgery and am about 300 now

What r u eating. U should try Dr. Duc vuong on YouTube.he has been more help for me then my Dr. He suggest a green smoothie for Breakfast a big ass salad for lunch minus croutons and bacon bits and bad cheese and a sensible dinner cutting out most carbs and I live by that and it works well. If u need Snacks try a handful of almonds or a small piece of fruit give it a try for a week and see if it budges..save my name we can talk about it maybe u just need support.

Is that enough Protein? Are there Beans in the salad or something? Can you put Protein Powder in green smoothies?

Yes u can use Protein Powder in your smoothie and u can put chicken shrimp fish or steak on the salad just portion controlled.beans yes just not that nonsense like tortilla strips and croutons and cheese and bacon bits. He has a salad cook book on Amazon and a wonderful fb page and I live his utube videos

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
