Under 180Lbs And Getting Sleeved, Anyone Else?

[sherri3388 36]

Have any of you lower bmi sleevers lost too much weight? X

I have asked about this and my coordinator said that your body will stop losing weight at the right time. I'm 18 lbs away from my goal so I'm interested in how low I'll actually be able to go. 16 to my Drs goal for me.

You are not far away from goal at all! Well done you. Will u keep me posted about your weight loss and if you do find your perfect weight x

I had my lapband removed April 17th. I still struggle with some foods due to my stomach shape is still same as with a band. My hunger level is up. I am not able to shake off the 15 pounds I gained with a band last year. I wonder if sleeve will even work for me

[BuffBride 3]

I totally get how you feel it is horrific regaining weight. I am going to see a surgeon 2moro to find out about the sleeve

[freespirit63 112]

Tell me about you Buff

[BuffBride 3]

I am in the uK and unless your bmi is very high and you have major health issues you have to pay privately.

I started at 171 and am at 154.4 6 weeks out today. I have been on a stall all week long. I'm not complaining, just saying that when you start with a lower BMI it comes off slower.

[BuffBride 3]

I would prefer it to come off slower because I think i would get less questions that is still a massive loss in 6 weeks tho. How's your food going 6 weeks in? What do your daily meals look like - if you don't mind writing it all down

Well, for Breakfast I had a salad with a lot of diff vegetables in it, bacon bits and chick peas, about 3 quarters of a cup. lunch I had a small hamburger, no bread, that I dipped in mayo and ketchup and a couple spoonfuls of baked Beans then I had about a fourth cup of a cherry dessert, I drank flavored water and tea between this and am planning to have a couple more spoonfuls of baked beans and a half chicken breast for dinner tonight. If there's anything after that it will be yogart. Not sure about that though. I do not deprive myself of things I want. I have done that over and over with my diets and it has never ended we'll so I'm going to eat small portions an try to make good decisions. There were many things today that I could have eaten, I was at a picnic where everyone brought goodies so even though I did have dessert, it could have been much worse and I was totally satisfied. If I can keep on like this and continue to lose slowly ill take it!

[BuffBride 3]

Sounds better than I thought it would be. What size bougie do U have

[sherri3388 36]

I have no idea. I didn't ask. The size differences seemed insignificant to me.

[BuffBride 3]

Been to see the surgeon. I left feeling less confident than when I went. He seemed shocked by the things I was asking - obviously I had researched it. When I asked him about problems quite regularly heard of on here he was like " yeah I have heard of that but it's never happened to one of my patients"

[sherri3388 36]

Is he your only choice of surgeon?

[BuffBride 3]

With a certain company yes. I am still looking around tho because this is a massive decision and one I can't afford to take any risks with. My bf is coming round to the idea of this but he still has not given 100% blessing x
