Hey August Sleevers! Put Me On Your List! Aaahroo!



Recommended Posts

Its great to see so many new pre-sleevers here. As we round out week 2 my thoughts go out to all of you that went before us. I can't wait to hear about your experiences....I've been watching every VSG journey I can find on 'YOUTUBE'. I have literally subscribed to over 100 Vsg vlogger channels. I ask questions and offer support...but no one elses story will compare...to our own.

Next week is my week...I'm excited and nervous. No pre-op diet(yea!) But I'll be NPO after midnight on 8/14. I work as a nurse at the hospital where my surgery will be performed, so I'll be getting off work at 7:30am and returning to preop at 9a. I find it better to keep my mind occupied at work than to sit at home and worry all night. I've been doing some last min. shopping and lots of housecleaning.My Dr says he wants me walkingin the halls within 2hrs after I'm out of surgery...I told him "GameOn"

Good Morning!! I hope everyone will have a great day!! Another day has come and passed, which brings us closer to our day of our life changing event!! I am so excited, I am absolutely buzzing about. I am now on day 4 of my liquid diet as of today. Almost a week has gone by, and I am proud as I have not done any cheating. In fact, I haven't had any cravings for items. I simply eat when I am hungry, Protein Shakes and Soup, and the wonderful pureed baby food, 'yum'. lol Well not really yum, but it gets the job done. I hope everyone does well with their diets, and off to a new and better life. Just imagine, next year at this same time, we will be thinking back to now, and remembering all the things we went through, what we had achieved, gained and lost. It will be a surreal, and powerful moment in our lives. One to cherish and remember, now that is one massive achievement!!

Hello sleevers,

I have seen on some sites where many people have developed headaches. I myself never received them. Maybe it's because I never ate that much sugar? I just wanted to congratulate all those that have joined and welcome them to the group. :)

Happy Saturday to all :)

Good Morning sleevers!!

I Hope everyone will have a gorgeous day today. For some, it is time for their sleeve, and for others, the days are counting down. :) For those who are having their sleeves today, and this week, tons of luck and hugs to you all. I hope your surgeries are a super success. :) My surgery day is creeping up rather fast, and I am very excited.

Good thoughts to all, stay positive, the results will pay off!! :)

Hugs,

Alia

      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.

      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! 😞
