Hey friends. Doing an update. I will be sleeved one year on August 17th. I have lost 95lbs. I am 5’2” 26 years old and weigh 138lbs. I am a size 8 in pants/dresses and a medium/small in shirts. I have saggy skin. Luckily it can be hidden with clothes. Photos are before and now.
Problems: I am terrible with my Water intake. I am always exhausted. I have zero energy. I don’t do Pasta or breads: I tend to overdo it and end up vomiting. I am able to eat bad. That’s something I am scared of. Just like before the surgery, I am still constantly thinking about what I am going to put in my mouth. My brain will always have a fat soul. I have to use little plates or else I make my servings too large. I think I am content with my weight now. I need to start exercising. I do not exercise at all. It’s hard to eat well during the summer since I am a teacher. However, during the school year, I am strict with my diet on week days. I allow slip ups on the weekends. I still snack and drink alcohol, but that is just a weekend thing. Still trying to learn how to change my mindset.
So beyond grateful for this surgery and my new life!

Don’t worry. It happens. Now the weight jumps down all of a sudden. It’s nice seeing that drop, but you’ll be stuck at the weight for like 2 weeks.

I went back exactly a week later. That was fine for me Just keep Advil on you and bring pudding/yogurt with you to munch on

Hi friends! Just got to overweight today!! I am 5’2”. I weighed 235lb on surgery day, and today I weighed 160.8. It has been 6 months 2 weeks and 3 days since surgery (August 17th). What I have learned:
1) you will still be hungry
2) you will still have cravings
3) you will still love food
4) you pretty much can’t eat and you have to always be aware with what you are putting in your mouth. My favorite food is pizza and I’ve had it about 4 times since. I loved Pasta, but I never ever eat it alone like I used to.
This way of living has been forced upon me because of surgery. Before I would binge, now I mindfully eat always. The first couple months were the worst. I was depressed and missed food so much, but I stuck with it Bc I didn’t want to feel like a failure. Now it is a habit to eat the way I do. Please keep that in mind. Force this habit on you from the beginning.

Yesterday I had a CT scan because I had horrible abdominal pain. Turns out I passed a kidney stone!
1) Have you had a CT scan and are cancer free?
2) Drink water! I know I suck at drinking. Kidney stones are the worst!

Hi friends! I am 5 months post-op. I am soooooooo exhausted all the time. All I do is think about napping and sleeping. Probably extremely dehydrated as well because I rarely drink. Should I incorporate caffeine daily? I take my Vitamins daily. Eat around 900-1000 calories a day. Just tired of being tired.

I am 5 months post-op tomorrow. Since December 17th-January 16th I only lost 6lbs! Is that normal?

I am a teacher, so I have been on winter break. I cannot wait for my usual eating patterns to return. Unfortunately, I do not eat in normal intervals when I don’t have work. Then, I get starving, and then make bad choices ugh!
Anyone else have this problem?

I bought my students fresh, warm Bagels for our Christmas party. I really wanted one so bad and was thinking about having half. However, I decided to just eat my Protein Bar first. Now I’m full and satisfied! No bagel for me!
Therefore, if you’re craving something, just eat a Protein bar first, or anything, and see if you still want that item.
4 months post-op and still learning. Also, I don’t trust my sleeve in public with new foods 😂😂😂😂

What’s funny is that I followed the diet perfectly. I only had to do it for a week. I lost 10lbs. However, my liver was still fat 😂 I know it’s hard but you can do it!!! Try to become a hobbit and have no social life it makes it easier

Hi! I was sleeved on August 17th. I’ve lost 57lb since surgery. However, it is veryyy slow now, and the scale jumps down instead of going down steadily. Also, my hair is falling out like crazy. It is all over my bed and especially in the shower. I have super long hair though so it’s very annoying when falling out. I’ve been taking my Vitamins and Biotin since surgery. Never missed a day. Does not prevent Hair loss. Things are getting easier mentally, but I still miss my comfort food.

I find that the people on this site want you to be perfectly healthy and not eat breads or pastas or drink alcohol or have sweets. Just Protein protein protein but no I cannot just have protein all the time I’ll go crazy! Therefore I started introducing Pasta like once a week. I also will allow myself a few bites of a sweet once a week. Also, I am now drinking alcohol once a week. Just one drink. The problem is that you are drinking your calories, which are empty. Therefore just do it once or twice a week. Or one glass a day wouldn’t be horrible either. Keep it in moderation!

I think you’re probably dehydrated. Worry more about liquids right now! I almost passed out during my first week!

My boyfriend said the same thing during my pre-op diet. I was like, “B*tch I am not binging right now because I’m scared to die during surgery!!!”

You can do it! I know it sucks. I just made sure to sleep a lot. I was miserable during pre-op diet. Just stick with it. We are here for you drink your broth!

I am one year post op. My doctor says to eat 1200 calories a day 💁🏻 That’s a lot of food when it’s high protein! It used to be such few calories when I was fat before surgery 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
