Reducingraven

I was sleeved in August and didn’t feel even the slightest hunger sensation until about 5 months post op. Don’t be afraid of that! If anything I feel like crap from forgetting to drink Water and not eating but seriously this has been the best thing I’ve ever done and I would do it all over again. I’m 94 pounds down 33 pounds down until I get to my goal weight. You can do it!

I showed her at my first appointment last week and she seemed happy with it! But had never had a client use it or any vegans at all period.

Forgive me if this has already posted here--couldn't remember--too lazy to "search." Hey. What? It happens! serrynotserry...
I stole "borrowed" from another site who shall remain nameless. Post your personal experience!!! Wooohooo! Sing it loud and proud! Getchasome!

Hi! This is my first post! My name is Raven and I'm 5'8 and 315 pounds. I had my first appointment last Friday and went over my insurance and hospital requirements. I'm required to do 6 months of watched dieting and weigh ins. Plus a whole other list of stuff like a sleep study, get cleared by a psychiatrist and take 3 hours worth of computer personality tests, have an exercise evaluation, see a nutritionist monthly, get my lungs and heart checked, and more. It feels like so much stuff (worth it of course) but the 6 months wait feels like lifetime! But I've been fat my whole life so I guess it's doable. [emoji23] They said my goal weight as far as they are concerned is 198 because that would be me out of the obese marker. I can't believe the process is started!

Good luck! I'm sure it will fly back. I started my process the beginning of November and am having surgery on Thursday. Thankfully my insurance didn't require the 6 month wait! In the meantime, you'll find a lot of information and encouragement around here.

And I also am 5ft8 and was 319 on my surgery day September 5th 2018. Small world, isn't it? Now in 260s almost 5 months out.

The 6 months will pass faster then you realize and it will pass regardless of whether you do anything or not. BTW I too am 5'8 and also 315. Your bariatric clinics will keep you on track with getting everything done so you won't be out floating around on your own.

Ask your NUT if this is a complete Protein. I can't tell from the label. You don't want to miss any essential nutrients

I just started my 6 month journey to get the sleeve. I was wondering if everyone tells people that they got surgery when it happens, or that you are expecting to. It feels shameful kind of and I know for a fact that everyone around me thinks it's the easy way out but they don't know that I've been struggling for 10 years with PCOS and Hypothyroidism and that the weight just won't come off. I'm really nervous about telling but I also want to be transparent about my journey. What did you guys do?
