No weight loss with sleeve?!



Recommended Posts

Is their anyone that has not lost weight with the sleeve? I'm just so scared that I will have this surgery and I will be a failure or I won't loose weight... I'm hearing how much weight everyone is loosing in 3-6 months ... Could that really be me in a few months?? Ugh I don't know how to feel :-(

not sure how anyone can not lose anything with the sleeve. They take out 85% of ur stomach. You're bound to lose some weight. I can see how some may not lose all their weight by eating sliders, etc. But to fail to lose any? I'm skeptical. How can u not lose weight with only 15% of ur stomach left?

You will not fail! I had my surgery may first as of aug 15 I have lost 76 lbs. now I will tell you I am not exercising 6 hours a day. Fact is I hate going to the gym. Been just walking. You can do it. It is a tool but you will love your new life. Ask yourself do I like the wall I have around myself I.e. the fat you have on you. Yes I will use the F word. You are blocking the real you, change is hard and the box you have been in is easy. You may not like it but you are use to it. Come on and bust out. Don't let your drug food rule your life any more! We are here for you even if no one else is. You need and want to live. I have gotten rid of 4 pills connected to my weight and health situation. I hope at the end of the month to get rid of at least 2 more. I want to live for myself and my kids. You can too... Reach for the stars because its there. You can do it. If I can anyone can. Even if I don't lose another pound I would be happy. I am at least at a weight where people are not as judgemental of me because of my size. Also I am at least in a size 16-18 were I can get some regular clothes. I want to loose another 60 lbs and who knows. I might even get a man in my life again. Or go back to school like I planned or a job in management. The sky's the limit! Please give yourself the gift of your life back.

      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!!
