Calling all august sleevers



Recommended Posts

Had my sleeve done on August 29th so happy I can eat Now! I have lost 20lbs and I'm so happy, but I feel like maybe I'm eating to much or not enough sometimes.. My Dr. Does not have me counting calories yet, he is just wanting me to make sure I eat a lot of Protein.< /p>

I know everyone's diet is different, but it still leaves me with concern. What are you eating?

How is your weight loss going? Now my pre-op weight was 244 and didn't loose any weight before surgery, so I'm was thinking I should of lost more by now... what do you think?

I had surgery on 8/24. I lost 17 pounds during my two week preop diet and then 13 pounds since surgery. I have been in a three week stall. I am not losing anymore weight even though I am following the diet and walking a mile a day. It has me a bit worried.

I have noticed I'm losing an average of 6lbs a week, but I also didn't lose pre-op
A lot of others have said give it time and stay off the scales, but it's so hard

Everyone is different. I say stick to the plan and don't go near the scale. I got sleeved on August 28th and had some hummus and salmon today (my first real food since pre-op) and it tasted like it was made at a five star restaurant! I had it with three crackers and I'm going to try some veggies with it next time.

I was sleeved on 8/10 and have lost 20 since surgery also. Had a couple of stalls here and there but stuck to the meal plan. I found it easier to focus on the percentage of weight I lost towards my goal(vs. total lbs) and it helped me alot. In our shoes any weight loss is good. Just try your hardest to hit your protein and Water goals!

Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2
HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 192 Goal: 155

Update ... sleeved 8/29/2017
HW 272 SW 244 CW 221
Still loosin but so slowly, not counting calories just making sure I'm eating Protein, protein, and more protein.
I still feel like I'm not losing much, try not to get depressed but it's really hard.
Seemed like after losing the first 20 the next 3lbs was harder to achieve. I can't give up!! I know everyone is different, but I would really like to know where the end of August to first of September of 2017 stands with their weight loss.

      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.
