October 2018 Sleever - Pictures Update - LOST OVER 100LBS!



Recommended Posts

This is truly inspiring. Other than the sleeve (of course) to what do attribute your amazing success? I will have surgery on March 12 and will have roughly 120 to lose to goal. And I want to do all I can to make that happen with the sleeve. I've already started working out preop so that I'm in the habit post op. Any other advice for a newbie?
Honestly I've been walking a lot. Eating Protein from actual food and not relying on shakes. Also eating hours before I sleep. Its definitely not easy, but so worth it. You will stall, you will have cravings, your eyes will be bigger than your stomach. But just remember your end goal when you have your weak moments. It's totally doable, just stay focused and listen to your body. I wish you the best of luck and if you ever have questions you can always reach out to me!!!

I agree!!! It's looking really good on you!!! Seriously, you look really really great!! What a transformation!!! It's finally dawning on me how much and how fast my body has changed since I had surgery in December. I don't see day to day, but everyone else seems to see it. I do see it on the scale, clothes etc. I am down to 197 from 260 (although I was probably closer to 280 and got to 260 before I was willing to put myself in a position to be weighed). It's a great feeling.

Also, don't worry about the extra skin!! I'll take the extra skin over the fat any day!!!! The extra skin isn't going to put me in an early grave. I wear compression shirts when I go to the gym and that keeps everything in check. I don't have a lot of extra skin fortunately, but you can't loose a lot of weight at 45 without paying a price for putting it on in the first place. So, that's the extra skin for me!

Hahaha. Congrats. But what I meant, was "daddish"--soft, cuddly, innocuous, care worn, a little rumpled but totes loveable. Like a well-worn Teddy Bear. But your after is like you're ready to kick ass and take names and look about 15 years younger. No offense meant.

Offense??? No way!!! I know what you meant. :) I was an overstuffed teddy bear. I used to be the first one to make fun of myself for being fat (sort of a defense mechanism I guess). Today, I still make those jokes (but only in my head). It's starting to sink in not the fat guy anymore. Btw, my mom said I look 15 years younger too!!! It finally feels like i have the old me back from when I was in my twenties and early thirties when I was in good shape.

Thank you!! Yes, it definitely is easier to keep up with the kids and doing small things like tying my shoes, picking something off the floor, walking up stairs etc. :) I don't sweat when I am not suppose to be sweating (that was a big deal for me)!!!

      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.
