Looking to make the 20 somethings forum active



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

So I wanted to make an "ALL CALL" for us 20 somthing sleevers. I don't have any scientific proof BUT I think the recovery, weightloss, and other issues may have something to do with age. I am 25 and getting sleeved on Jan. 22. I am the mother of a goregous 7 month old and a wife for the past 2 years. I just wanted to make this forum active again.

With that said?

What's your story? How was recovery? How's Life?!

Hi! I'm Jes. I'm twenty Three . I was just sleeved on December 20th, 2010. I lost 26 pounds pre op, and 24 post.

I have been married for four years :)

I've been overweight my entire life. My mom had the lapband last February, and it made me start thinking it was time for ME to do something.

I had a rough two days after surgery. But, then everything got better with each day.

How are you?

Hey! I'm 23 Years old and I got my super sleeve July 2010. I have gone from my highest of size 20 to now size 6!

Okay I know this is silly but I was hanging out with some friends the other night. One of my old guy friends was teasing me and picked me up like a bag of potatos! I have never had someone do that to me. I always wished I was small enough of a guy to do that without thinking. I know it is silly but it just made me feel good about myself. I am not sure about everyone else but I have to remind myself that I'm small. It almost seems like a dream.

Hi everyone! I am 28 and was sleeved on Dec 13th. I have lost 31 pounds post op and 36 pounds pre op for a total of 67. I had been feeling good but overdid it on Sunday after helping lift a dresser upstairs! The surgeon said I was clear to resume all acivities. But now I have been nauseous and in pain since Sunday evening. So I. Am back to having liquids and hope that will help. Oh and some exciting news. I started out in a 3x top and 24 pants. I now can get into an xl top and 16 pants. Yay!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
