November 2018 Sleevers!?!?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, just stopping in to see how everyone is doing? I am still moving along so I feel good about where I am headed... feels like everyday gets easier and easier, I will be honest and say remembering my Vitamins can be the hardest thing even with a reminder set on my phone, kind of grateful I use the Patches because I can where them to bed. Everyone ready for easter? I am not to worried about temptation I did get some mini kind bars... in case something creeps up but really not worried haven't had many sweet cravings and when I do I usually have a fruit... Will say that I am obsessed with pickles and olives... things I hated before surgery now can't ever seem to get enough of lol. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Hey guys I just had my 6 month labs drawn and everything looked good except my Vitamin B1 theanine was really high.
Has anyone had a similar experience? I meet with my surgeon on the 2nd just kind of freaked out cause I know b1 is very important!
Ldl cholesterol was also a bit low. Buuutttt I am working on incorporating healthy fats.

How is everyone doing?

not sure about the b1 being really high, I think it should be fine, but I am sure the dr will let you know. I also thank you for the reminder that I must get my labs done! lol so thanks for that... ALSO OMG we are coming up on 6 months! That is legit insane wow!

Checking in on this thread as I had my 6 month post op visit last week. Labs were great even though I'm not consistent with my Vitamins. Weight loss is frustratingly slow but steady at 1.3lb/week. For my NSV, I'm in a size 14, a size I haven't worn since 1984! Therapy is a bit of a slow grind and family life is a bit stressful, but so far, I feel really on track.

My downsides are 1) Heartburn, 2) Constipation still, and 3) Hunger has come back some. It takes a long time for the hunger.. many hours, but I didn't miss between meal hunger.

I included my 6 month before and after. Anyone else want to share?

I just wanted to check on all my November sleeve friends!!! I’ve hit another stall (4 weeks) but I’m trying not to stress!! 135 lbs down!! I’d like to lose another 25-30!

Funny: I recently went on a mission trip to Belize - it’s not the first time I’ve been with this same group of children and I’m able to stay in contact with them some during the year. When I walked out of the airport they were waiting for me (cue tears) and shouting my name. It was so sweet. We get on the van and one little boy puts both of his hands on my face and says, “Ms. JB, what happened to you? You don’t look the same!” I said, I know!! He says, “ oh, Ms JB- you are not....you know (and he motions outwArd with both hands” I just died laughing (out of the mouth of babes!! He then proceeded to look through my phone for pictures of last year of the two of us and says- see! See!!! You aren’t the same!

And I’m not- I’m so many ways!!! ❤️ hope y’all are all doing well!

I hit 100 lbs lost a couple weeks ago, which I had mixed feeling about. It's been a goal I've been waiting for but now loosing weight brings me mixed emotions as... I am pregnant! This was a surprise as I had been on bc and previously unable to get pregnant without the help of a reproductive endocrinologist, I'm about 18 weeks now and me and baby are healthy. This pregnancy is nothing like my previous 2 and I'm so excited to meet my third daughter at the end of December. :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
