African American Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I was a stall for 5 weeks before the scale moved. I am 5 months post-op. I was hoping to be out of the 200s by now. My weight loss is very slow.. This is after eating 1000-1200 cal/day and taking a spinning class 2-4 times a week and skating.

HW: 246

SW: 239

CW: 203.7

Well at least the scale has started moving in the right direction again

I was wondering if African Americans have the same success with the sleeve and weight loss as our counterpartS

*****

I wouldn't say it's a race issue but maybe in some cases it can be a socio economic issue when it comes to affording healthier whole foods and gym memberships or follow up healthcare

I'm AA and 11+ months out with great results even better than some others races I've met in my in person and online bariatric groups

I am a very slow loser compared to all those I gave seen. I know I can't compare. And I realize that my legs had started to become jiggly which is not attractive. So on one hand I am happy it slow but on the other wish I lost more.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
