August 2012 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hello All! Any August sleevers out there? Getting discouraged with this stall. Down 50lbs, the scale hasn't moved in quite awhile. Anyone else have this problem? I have had limited complications, nothing terrible, and can eat anything I want but in small amounts. Trying to stay positive, but it's getting more and more difficult. I know the holidays are coming up, and some food choices have not been the best but come on!! Need words of encouragement and helpful stories of others that may be going through this. Thank you!! Best wishes and Happy Holidays!! :P

Sleeved 8/21. 53 pounds down. I lose on average 1-1.5 pounds a week. I've had stalls but I just keep working the program and know that by this time next year i'll be fit and healthy. Try to look at the big picture., stopping to Celebrate the small victories along the way. That makes stalls easier to deal with. Hang in there!!

I was sleeved 8/21 and am down 66 lbs. Feeling great now and feel like I've found my 'new normal', but the first six weeks were pretty rough.

sleeved August 16. I am down 52 pounds. Very little problems to report. Early on was tough. Restriction is less now, some days I can eat more than others. I have three meals I love... chicken tortilla Soup, filet mignon and veggies, and sashimi! Those are my go to foods :) Cravings gone. Can't eat bread. My hips, knees, and feet feel normal again, no pain :) My arms don't stand out like a linebacker anymore. Everyone notices and says, "OH my god, what are you doing?" I simply say eating less and exercising!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
