Im My Own Worst Enemy...just Need A Little Kick In The Arse.

SO I was sleeved 12-19-11 and I am down about 62 lbs. im super stoked to be seeing the changes in my body and clothes. As the eternal pessimist that I am, I cant help but to see how far I need to go. i think my fears take over, and i end worrying about EVERYTHING. Lately its that I have stretched my sleeve. i definitely can eat more now than i could. I try to make the best choices, but i get so down on myself if I have eaten something "fattening", or high in calories. Don't get me wrong, im not

Needing Help From My Women Sleevers Out There..

So, I got my sleeve on December 19th 2011. Im four months out and 60lbs down! (whoo-hoo!!) With that being said..before my sleeve, i had not had regular periods for about 6 years. I gained my weight very fast, with my first pregnancy, and my GYN thought that was the culprit. I would only get my period maybe 2-3 times a year, and this concerned her. I was pretty ok with the whole deal, before i knew that at my age, it could cause some serious health risks. Since the surgery, i have gotten two pe

First Night Back To Work, Tonight. Im So Nervous.

So tomorrow will be 7 weeks post-op for me, and tonight is my first night back to work. I am in SUCH a funk. Im pretty wigged out by the fact that EVERY ONE will be staring at me..trying to see if they notice a difference. I get it, I do. I did the same the thing to co-workers. Its only natural. It dosen't make it any easier to deal with though. I know alot of us big people are so use to being out of the lime light, that being the subject of anyone's attention, (let alone a large amount of peopl

Just Saw And Felt The Results Thus Far!

For someone who is known for finding the silver lining in any dark cloud, an eternal ray of optimism for her friends and family...I sure am a Debbie Downer when it comes to matters of self. I have been so negative, so hard on myself about this sleeve since I got it. Its as if i choose not to trust it, and have faith in our success together, in fear of failure. When it comes to weight loss, i think all of us VSGer's have come to know that feeling at some point in time. I've thought that its too g

My Protein Shake Brings All The Boys To The Yard..lol!

Well, I gotta say, Im way over choking down the nasty whey protein. There has to be something more enjoyable out there. I had a packet of the strawberry sorbet by unjury..I was not impressed. So I have been reluctant to try anything else from them. I have milk chocolate and vanilla by EAS right now. Its cheap, and meets my requirements. My husband lifts heavy weights, and this is what he has always used. During my pre op diet, i was completely satisfied with that product. strange that im not now

Im Feeling So Disappointed...

I know this surgery isn't some miracle thing..I know its a tool in my weight loss trade..but seriously?? I can't help to feel like i put myself, and family, through SO much..I took such huge risks, but im not reaping the benefits. I was 247 DOS 12-19-11 and today I am 231. yesterday i was 229.(yeah, i lose a lb or two, then i gain it) 16-17 lbs sounds good in three weeks, until you realize that most of that was in the first week. I do what I suppose to..except not expecting this weight to come o

Seriously?

So here I am on day 11 post-op. In the first seven days I lost over 10 lbs. the last 4 days, i have not lost a thing. :n ( Im so dissapointed, i feel like im doing something wrong... I always seemed to get stuck at 236, on every diet I went on, and here is 236 again. not budging. It just dosen't make sense to me, i barely eat a thing, i get in all my fluids and protien..im pretty bummed today.

Post Op Day Three

So, My sleeve was done on 12-19-11..I was suppose to come home the very next day..but due to the fact that i was soooo nauseous, and couldnt hold anything down, i had to stay another night. The gas pains were awful, and throwing up blood mixed with bile certainly was a highlighted moment either. BUT, Im home. I hardly had any sleep in the hospital, and am looking forward to climbing in my big ole bed this evening. I feel much better than I did, though, im still nauseated at times. The smell of t
