Im 26 And Im Rocking My Sleeve



Recommended Posts

What are your goals? I started at 299.8 and I'm currently 226.2 :-D I'm so close to wonderland currently I'm a size 16. When I can taste the sweetness of wonderland I will treat myself for a full body massage and a ride at six flag magic mountain

Congrats!!! That is quite the loss!

A full body massage and trip to six flags sounds like an awesome reward for reaching Onederland.

I'm 23 and also love rocking my sleeve ^_^ My goal now is to tone up!

My first goal is to join a gym (will do on June 1).

Next goal - When I get into the 160's I'm getting a pedicure.

Final goal - After I reach goal I'd like a face and breast lift! :rolleyes:

To be honest it has made my life EASIER than when I was overweight! I made sure all of my friends knew that I did have it done, so that way they would understand why I choose not to eat junk food. When we are out I try and make the healthiest choices of food. When we have family/friend parties I will have a margarita or even wine and it doesn't bother me. Again drinking alcohol is not frequent for me. I'm so lucky to have been able to have the surgery when I was 18. These are the years I want to be healthy and live my life.

Simple things like shopping, or going to an amusement park, or even the movies seems so much easier because I can actually fit in the seats, and fit into clothes!

Almost being 5months out its easier now that I have learned to readjust myself socially. But at the beginning was very hard because my friends and family didn't understand that I couldn't eat the same fatty unhealthy foods like before. I eat before going out, i kept a protien bar in my bag, always have a Water bottle with you, or try for crystal lite they have different flavors incase u get tried of plain Water.< /p>

Take control When I go to parties I serve myself because I want to have control what and how much I put in my plate.

The most important thing is aways plan ahead and make the people around understand what u going through.

One more thing congratulations :-D practice some of these tips now so when the time comes it wouldnt hit u as a surprise good luck

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
