Scheduled to have The Sleeve on May 6 and wanted some feedback on this doc if possible? Was not able to find any on Real Self or this site.

I use to lose weight there but this time I lost weight more in my butt, now it’s FLAT ugh.

Just thought I’d post this pic to those who are on their way to surgery or have an upcoming date. This was part of my overnight bag! Hope it’s a motivation to my fellow sleevers! Congrats!!  

I would get breast reduction as your large breasts take away from your weight loss. They make you look bigger than you are. Not criticizing but that’s my opinion.

I’m definitely going to have a reduction. Since my loss (55lbs) my body is shaped like the letter ‘P’.
I’m a 38 DDD

How do you make holy Water? You boil the hell out of it.

Honestly this isn't an easy surgery to go through for anyone.....some heal faster than others and some don't. Some people can get majority of their liquids in and others can't even meet half of their daily intake. It's a mental thing all around. Take longer walks through out the day to get your mind of the pain or just do extra things around the house. If your just moping around then that makes u think more about the negatives. 3 weeks out is a pretty decent time where u should be able to be out and about with friends. And reading your never going to eat your favorite foods again is bs. I know people personally who've had a successful surgery and have dropped over their goal weight and still have cheat days. It's all about you controlling yourself and saying ok I'm full I'm not going to continue eating this. When your able to eat regular foods again, meal prep for the week and then Friday or Saturday have a cheat meal and then get back on your meal prep the next day. Because if you just give up and just binge eat on all the bad foods that got u where u were before the surgery then the surgery was just pointless you know? It's all in your control! Just think of your goal weight and where u want to see yourself! Or even buy an outfit that u want to fit in by next summer and that can be another motivation for u! Don't give up because I'm rooting for you and I know you can do this...be strong for yourself and push through!

I am on week 3 post op and I feel like I made the biggest mistake in my life. I'm reading how my favorite foods is a no go and I'll never eat it in my life again. Here I am struggling to meet my goal of Protein and Water. I can't enjoy life with my friends. I'm over this sleeve people who wants to get it I tell them don't. I'm trying to find the beauty in all this but right now I feel like I ruined my life.

Great job you Do look amazing !!!

Thank you so much! IT has been such a long journey for me so far. I'm excited that I am just over 1/2 through until my surgery date.

Try the Premier Protein Caramel flavor. These are pre prepared shakes in serving size box things. YOu can get them at Walmart or almost any grocery store. I even use this as Creamer in my coffee. I am not allowed milk. I am day 5 in my pre op diet and down 11 lbs.
Here is my plan, obviously its working! coffee with a splash of Premier Protein banana or caramel , then the rest of the Premier Protein Shake for Breakfast, at 10am I have 2 C of chicken broth, at Noon I have 2 C chicken broth + another Premier Protein shake, at 2pm I have 1 sf Jello cup, at 6ish I have 2 C chicken broth (appetizer ) and another Carmel Premier Protein Shake, 8pm snack another sf Jello cup. I don't really like any other flavors of broth or I would have those. My shakes have to be under 200 calories, high Protein (these are 30g) and as low sugar as you can find (1g). Premier is handy, pre made, and I like the flavors (Caramel, banana, and strawberry Cream are my favorites). I SWEAR I have not had any headaches, and my energy level is really good (just fall asleep earlier which helps me not dwell on food).

Working hard daily. Officially 90 lbs from May 24 th to August 21. I think I lost an eclipse lol

I take my journey seriously... I was in the Navy so I know about physical training and I took everything I know with eating things I enjoy....so I don't have to lie for likes.... I'm good regardless

It's been a little over two months since surgery and I couldn't be happier!!! Best thing I have ever done!!! Down 55lbs!!! I feel alive again.

Thank you all for your responses, I weigh myself every 2 days to see if I lost or if I'm in a stall. One reason I'm obsessed. I guess I'm afraid the weight loss will stop for me sooner than others. I'm afraid of gaining. I follow everything to the letter and try to do some physical activity everyday. I've been so focused on getting down to have my life back and I'm scared it's going to stop before I feel whole again. I know it's not going to happen overnight. I'm just afraid it's gonna stop before I reach my goal, and I'll be back at square one. That why I'm obsessed not with the scale but everything diet, exercise, measurements and studying how to break stalls. I'm one of those people who feel it's not gonna work for me! I know it's crazy but it's my mind telling me I'm going to fail. I'm glad I have this platform to express myself without being judged for my feelings.

What a rude response. You're only 4 weeks post-op yourself but purport to be an expert. Sad.

You look 15 years younger!
