Does anyone's goal weight still leave them "overweight" or "obese"?
GSleeve822 replied to provenzee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nice!! Thays what i was hoping to hear. I didnt get the surgery to be considered overweight still Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
Probably a bad start to your new life. Make a fruit smoothie Protein shake.. sometimes I'll do the injury chocolate splendor Protein powder with ice and a half a banana or frozen strawberries. It's better for your body then icecream Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

GSleeve822 replied to provenzee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Who's goal is that? My surgeon's goal (160-170lbs) left me overweight also. I can honestly say his goal deflated me. My inner dialogue was, "I'm going to do all this sh*t and still be overweight?!". I made own goal based on a healthy BMI, height/weight charts, and healthy body fat percentages. That left me in the 130s.Have you gotten to your goal?

Are there other vegetarian/vegan sleevers?
GSleeve822 replied to MicahD's topic in Vegetarian or Vegan Eating
I'm so jealous of anyone sleeved by Garth Davis.. I follow him on facebook and I wish I could call him up sometimes with questions. I've been vegetarian/sometimes pescetarian for 3 years. I was just sleeved 3/28. My experience so far has been great. I absolutely endorse a plant based diet Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
I'm almost overweight!
GSleeve822 replied to GSleeve822's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omg! I didn't think they'd take it off.. for some reason I thought it would be there forever. Omg the minute I am below a 30 bmi, I'm marching my ass in there to have him take it off lol! Thanks for that! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
Eating Disorder - Bulimia
GSleeve822 replied to miss_smiles's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Everyone who had this surgery has an eating disorder. Unless becoming obese was some rare medical condition. I'm sorry you're going through this and the rest are right, professional help is needed. You could also check out OA (over eaters anonymous). Bulimia is a real disease and it should be treated as one. I used to be good friends with a girl with Bulimia and as soon as she was done eating, she would go throw up and as soon as I was done eating, I would have a cigarette. I realized then how difficult it would be for her to stop, as it was just like my cigarette addiction. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -

We have really similar stats. I'm only out almost 3 months so I'm at 226. How tall are you? My HW 291 SW 279 CW 226 GW 150 Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

That's a great question at 1 month out I'm only able to do 500-700 day. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App I'm almost 3 months out and I'm between 400 to 650 per day still. I've heard going above 800 during this initial weight loss can be harmful to weight loss. Idk. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Who else got sleeved on the 28th of march?
GSleeve822 replied to elaina831's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm down 63 lbs. I was sleeved 3/28. HW 291 SW 279 CW 227. I'm still 74 lbs away from my goal weight which is 150. I can't believe so many ppl are so close to their goal. I'm 5'11 so I may be setting my sight too high (or low lol). I've had a few minor stalls but mostly have lost regularly. I've drank maybe 3 times. I can see that there may be a pattern with stalls happening around those times so I try to avoid it. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
I was just sleeved 3 months ago, along with my wife. We're good, but I've definitely changed. I don't put up with people's crap as much which has made my relationships with family, and my staff strained. It has made my staff respect me more but my family isn't quite as healthy and they are fighting against my new found voice. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Embrace the Stall
GSleeve822 replied to Inner Surfer Girl's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm in a stall AND I'm 9 weeks out. It's really hard for me by it so happens to be right about the weight that I've never been able to get lower than, so it freaks me out that 232 lbs is the lowest I'm capable of going. It makes me depressed and less active, which is what has happened every time I get to this weight.. I stop losing and then I gain it all back because of frustration Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App I didn't mean to capitalize "and" Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
A stall AND weight gain, 9 weeks out
GSleeve822 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know this is an overly talked about topic but I'm 9 weeks out, this last week I lost 1.4 lbs and in the last 2 days, I gained 2 lbs. Like, really? I'm not doing anything different or crazy. I will say that along with the weight gain, I'm all of a sudden real hungry too. Help Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -

A stall AND weight gain, 9 weeks out
GSleeve822 replied to GSleeve822's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you guys. My periods have been very out of whack so it's possible I could be pms, plus I have been coockoo. I just don't want this to keep happening. I am right around the weight that I usually get to before I get to a plateau and never get smaller than this. I'm scared this is happening. I felt like the surgery would help me get past this weight and I'm sure it will, it's just a little nerve racking. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
Is your surgery a secret?
GSleeve822 replied to Tara1992's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I told my close friends and family. I've told no one at work. I said I had a laproscopic surgery for fibroids in my uterus. It's only uncomfortable when people ask how I am losing so much weight and I have to lie about it. For me, it's the right choice to keep it simple and not explain to ppl about the surgery Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -

Odd Jittery Feeling..
GSleeve822 replied to NeedaBreak4Me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If youre very dehydrated like you mentioned, that could definitely be the cause.Thank you for replying... this was the first thing i checked.. i had gone above my daily Water requirement.. and my Protein was also good. My body must have needed some carbs/sugars... cause ive had barely any since surgery 5 weeks ago... i had some today and it got rid of it... i guess i need to be little less strict with the carbs.. my body must need some Stick with complex carbs, not simple carbs! -
First week was certainly the worst week. It gets better
