Sleeved in oct! Update



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!!

I was sleeved oct 24th of last year im a couple days shy of three months out! At my highest weight I was a whopping 352.6 lbs. On surgery day I was 336. Im so happy to report that almost three months out I am at 285.3 and still loosing! I must admit.. I need to get back to eating better! But generally I do real well. I'm super happy w my results and don't regret getting my sleeve at all. I worry about stretching my sleeve tho .. Someone I think I drink to fast or if I do t chew we'll enough. Other the. That I'm doing really well! Any other sleevers that where sleeved around my time and my size .. What are ur stats?! I was wondering if in ahead of the game behind or what! I know everyone's different but I can't help but wanting know how I'm doing!!!

Sleeved 10/18, 5'9", DOS weight was 239 I'm now 203, I'm a really slow loser, I eat right and I'm in the gym for an hour every morning and I still lose slow. The plus side to that is I am having minimal hairloss and no loose skin at all. I just get upset that I see everyone else lose all this weight and here I am with a drop in the bucket. I do have to remember that everyone is different and loses at a different pace. I think we are all doing great!!!

So I think I might be the slowest loser EVER!!!! Highest 285- preop 273 - today 241..... That only 32 pounds in 14 weeks! The holidays and a major adjustment in my thyroid meds have not helped but good grief!! I have decided to start and exercise program and see if that helps..... Just needed to vent....

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
