August Sleevers-How are you doing??



Recommended Posts

Had my annual physical with my primary this past week and for once the conversation didn't focus on being overweight! He was extremely happy with the progress I've made and we were able to talk about other issues that I needed to talk about (my ADD) which was a nice change of pace. The best moment was when the PA looked at my chart and said, "do you know what you weighed last year when you came in for your physical?" and it was 2lb more than what I've been counting my starting weight at.

Hey all I got Sleeved 8/25/2017, started my journey exactly a year ago today weighing 357 on 5/31/2017 ...a year later I am 210 and feel amazing however I will say it is very easy to go astray if you dont work at it every day. Best thing to do is if you slip just get right back going good luck to all of you. It aint easy.

I've been in a 5 month stall gaining and losing the same 3 lbs. I joke and tell everyone I've lost 50 pounds since January...but it's been the same 3 lbs over and over and over.
Surgery was 14 Aug 2017.

I've started back on my walking weekday morning. I'm up to over 3 miles. Try to get it done before the sun comes up and makes it 500 degrees in South Texas.

      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.
