Help! Is the sleeve for me?!



Recommended Posts

I posted this in Pre-Ops but maybe this thread is more fitting. Sorry for the double post but I would love some insight!!

Hey all!

I am new to this forum and have been considering getting the sleeve for a few months but I am just not 100% sure if it is the right choice for me. I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember and over the years have tried Weight Watchers, U Weight Loss, Paleo diet and other weight loss products. I always have such great motiviation and can follow the programs to a T for the first 2 weeks-2 months but then.... i start cheating a little, and then a little more and then i've completely blown the whole diet and I end up quitting. As well, I am always back to the gym when I start these diets and by the end of it my motivation is sucked dry and I stop going for months at a time. I'm so tired of wasting money on these products and services and its making me so depressed! I love food! but I believe I am ready for a change and I think this is the solution for me. It is permanent though which freaks me out but that is what I need- a permanent life change.

I have researched surgeons and am so close to booking with Dr. Aceves but keep having the "What if" thoughts in the back of my head.

Any thoughts, comments would be so great from all of you Sleevers!!

Thank you!

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
