My c section was a breeze compared to sleeving, I'm in complete utter agony had my sleeve done on the 16th may and can honestly say I am in tears over what I've done but hey come back to me in a few weeks and I'll be happy x ( fingers crossed )

I am so happy with my progress! At my heaviest I weighed 303lbs, at my weigh in today I am now 188lbs, so in total I've lost 115lbs, I lost half before surgery and half after. While I am happy with what I've achieved I am finding it psychologically hard to deal with! I still see myself bigger ( the way I used to be ) and also the attention I am now getting from people! Does anyone feel this way? If so how do u cope and what should I do? I am currently waiting to see a psychologist to talk about it, however, how can I help myself in the meantime x

Hi Hun , it does all seem to go fast but it is worth it in the end. I was sleeved on 16th of may this year and I'm down from 275lbs (pre op diet) to 218lbs! It is such an eye opening journey that will bring out millions of emotions ( mine was head ????) it's so hard at times but everything u experience solves itself ( the head hunger solved itself when I went on pureed foods) good luck on ur journey, ur going to do amazing xxxx

Shela don't worry! It can be very nerve wracking, but once all the surgery and adjusting to a new way of life is done, you will realise it was all worth it x I'm currently rocking a brand new pair of shorts! ( I've never wore shorts before) I'm down 4 dress sizes and loving it!!!!! ????

Ur welcome jeanie x and by the way my family was dead set against it, in fact it was difficult to find a person who thought I was doing the right thing. But now they are all full of compliments and commenting on how well I've done x keep ur head held high Hun and be strong! X

And jenlen I also struggle with head hunger at times!!!! It's a real pain but I've learnt to accept that even though I want it, my stomach will not accept it! X

At 3 weeks I struggled to get 250-300 cal per day (and still stalled/slumped in weightloss). By the 5th week I was able to get 500-600 per day a began losing weight again. Now I am consistently hitting 800 cals a day (7 weeks out). And I feel as though this is too much. I am struggling with the whole 'head hunger' challenge now as my stomach very rarely actually feels hungry.
So in short.....I would say yes, it's normal

Thank you UK Honey

I tell them the truth as there is nothing to be ashamed of. ( and I especially had to tell the truth as one of the mothers at school though I was taking illegal drugs as I had lost so much weight lol) had surgery in may and I've lost 57lbs so far ???? x

16th of may and down from 275lbs to 218lbs so 54lbs loss x I feel amazing now but by god what a journey it has been lol x you all are doing amazing x keep up the good work x

I was sleeved on 16th and I'm STARVING!!! But still on liquids only ( milk, Water soup) I start pureed on Thursday and cannot wait!! I walk loads so my energy is gone cannot wait to feel normal again!

I agree, it is so difficult to watch everyone but then you get people going wow how much weight have you lost!!!! And you think to yourself hey it's all worth it in the end ????x and yes we are going to make it!!! And ty for your reply xxx

I was sleeved on the 16th of may and what a journey it has been!! I've been through pain, regret and finally happiness. The most difficult part is watching people eat!!! I suffer so much from head hunger it's untrue! I still have to prepare food for my son, and watch my friends eat all the food I loved. But on the upside I'm over 35lbs down I starting next week I can start the pureed part of my diet ( one month of liquids is really hard going) so I'm looking forward to introducing food back into my life!!! It has been so much harder than I imagined, even with all the research I did but it is worth it in the end!!

Congrats on the sleeve! Glad to hear you're feeling better. It only gets better and better from here!

Hi I was sleeved on 16th may so almost a week now! I was 266lbs before my 1 week pre op diet and I'm now down to 233lbs ( omg not been this weight for many years lol) it has been really difficult especially the pain but today I really think I've turned the corner! I am up and about doing the school run and have visited friends, I had my very first hunger pain today but was so shocked by just a few sips of milk it was ALL gone lol I was very unhappy before because of the pain thinking what the hell have I done? But now I'm happy and even though I'm still very sore and tender I AM HAPPY!!!!! So to all the pre sleevers and the newly done sleevers just keep ur chin up and it will be the best thing you have ever done xxx much love to you all xxxx
