Any short sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I am 5'1 and weighed 245 on surgery date. i lost 90 lbs in about 6 months or so ... then another 40 by about a year -14 months out. I dont know if it took longer than most, but I was okay with the progress. Im 8 years out and have kept it off (now at 115) - maybe losing a little slower isnt a bad thing! Good luck to everyone!

Wow!! That’s actually very inspiring. I have a few con workers who got the sleeve and they failed. And they have me paranoid, they still eat small amounts but let me tell you....I see where they went wrong and I pray I never fall back to old habits. For lunch they carry those big ampm guzzlers filled with soda!!! Like HOW?!!!! Why?!!!!! I don’t understand why you would do that to your body!!! Here I am trying to do all things right for a successful sleeve and here they are not caring at all!!! Another one that I know smokes more than a chimney (no offense) I have nothing against smokers at all!!! But wow!! Why would you do that to yourself?? So listening to your story gives me hope that I will succeed all my life

I am 4’11 had my surgery on feb 19 2018. When I started I weighted 197 and my BMI was 39. My BMI was shy by one number to get to get approval for surgery but with my sleep apnea I was approved. My surgery weight was 189. I’m a little over 2 months out and have lost 40lbs. My doctor says by October I should be about 105-110 pounds with how well I’m doing losing weight.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
