8/25/17 sleeve updates



Recommended Posts

So we have passed the 6 month mark. I’ve lost 56 lbs and I’m in size 12 now. I feel good. I’ve been at this weight for about 5 weeks now. The doctor had warned me that there is a slow down at this point, but I’m ready to get going again. Very frustrating for me. Everyone telling me how great I look, it I’ve lost all perspective. I go between feeling like I’m thin and feeling like I have a long, long way to go.

Checking in as we get closer to 1 yr post op. So I’ve lost between 60-63 lbs. I’ve been around 170 for several months and I’m getting the idea that I’ve lived out here. 150 was my goal, and who knows if I can get there, but if not I can live with where I am. That may have something to do with why I don’t really lose...even though I eat less, I still only yearn for carbs, so I’m confident I’m sabotaging to some degree. I’m not clear if any of the original same Aug/2107 people are still following, but if you are - how are you all doing?

My surgery was 8/29/2017 and my day of surgery weight was 244. My highest weight was 277, and now im 158lbs. Im am super happy with my journey, i have actually wore shorts and a swimsuit for the first time in years! My goal is 145 and i hope i can hit it by the end of august. My weight loss has slowed down to only 4-5 lbs a month, but honestly im happy where im at. Im getting ready to turn 47 on july 12, and im actually happy! Have a whole new outlook on life now, and my kids are just as excited as i am. Hint 4kds..lol

My surgery was on 8/29/17. I strated out at 221 and on my surgery date I was 211 and now I am at 158. My goal was to get to 165. I didnt need to lose mega weight but enough to get healthier, which I have. My weight will always be a struggle to maintain since I am a compulsive eater but I have found support and hopefully will continue weight loss success. Congratulations to all of you for your new found weight loss success and my sincerest hope that you maintain it.

Not doing what's popular just doing what's Right.

      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
