FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved



Recommended Posts

To all my fellow February sleevers...... I have had a really big day in the last few days. I have lost over 100lbs, no longer have a bunch of meds or need to worry that I'm going to have a stroke at any moment, and I had a Tummy Tuck done on wed to get rid of the loose skin. I will never have to worry again about getting a disgusting yeast infection in my belly rolls that stinks like rotten ass! All of this has been accomplished in 9 months! My sleeve surgery was Feb 21st and I am so proud of the accomplishments I have made. I am careful to not over eat but at the same time do not deny myself a treat. I really hope and pray that all the other sleevers have had a similar wonderful journey. Share your finest moment since ur surgery.

Congratulations Pammycakes! Hope you recover from your TT with ease! I have been so thankful for this surgery and the results, 88lbs down so far. I still have 16lbs to lose to reach my goal. I plan on rewarding myself by going shopping for some new cloths. Of course I've had to do that already. I was squeezing into size 24W and now I wear 16W in pants and 14/16 on top or an XL. It sure is a lot more fun shopping for cloths! Everything is a lot more fun!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving every one! Today is my 9 month surgiversairy and I'm so thankful for it! I'm down 88 lbs! I have been in a stall for the pst month but I'm gonna keep working at it. I find that I struggle with head hunger a lot. Stress really makes me want to eat. But also I have real hunger. I was hoping I wouldn't care about food and not really want to eat but for me that is not the way it is. Thankfully, I can't eat all that much! Blessing to you all!

You're determination and persistence will overcome all

DOS 2/20/13. SW 224. CW 168. GW 135. The first 3 months I lost an Ave of 10 lbs per month and I've slowed to 5 lbs per month since June but it pushes me to start running and hiking and now weight training to continue the losing which improves my health so I am satisfied though anxious and striving to hit my next goal of 150 then hopefully 135. I am humbled and impressed to no end at the awesome and inspiring group of losers I am a part of. Cheers fellow February'ers!!

It's been almost a year now. I had surgery on 2-12-13. I've lost 91 lbs! I feel so much better. Haven't had the first issue, didn't lose any hair, have not been hungry, have not regretted surgery for a second. My husband is being sleeved on 1-2-14. I'm excited for him. I'm learning to enjoy buying clothes once again. People at work call me skinny sometimes. Had one person who didn't know me ask me how I stay to slim and trim. Love it!!

Definitely experienced a slow-down during the past few months, but am happy with my over-all progress. I should hit my goal weight before my 1 year surgi-versary. Good luck to all!

Yay!

Why is it- we all seem to be down to around 5ish lbs lost a month now-- anyone able to still get 10 lbs or more a month-- ideas thoughts and suggestions appreciated

I think the rate of weight loss slows the closer you are to your goal. At this point I feel like I have to exercise a lot to keep things going and also keep track of what I'm eating.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
