Hey, I was sleeved 8/8/13 and had lost 23 pounds since surgery yesterday I went to the nut and I weighted 3 pounds more putting at 20 pounds down. But I tried to keep myself positive I started this journey at 120/125 that means I've lost a total of around 35 since I started this journey ( not bad).. Keep positive, at least this is what I try

I totally understand your fear.this is mine to.I said to my self that this is for me.Well I really haven't had alot of "me time“.I need more Water and I need to really put a food menu together for me. I am one of those people that really haven't told anyone because I'm so afraid that people will be like wow you haven't lost any weight...or judge me if I'm eating something they think I shouldn't. So ur fear is valid and your not alone.I keep saying day by day.lbs by lbs.good much keep us posted

Ok keke and others, time to change the mindset, people. If you set your mind to "fail" it is so easy for that to become a self fulfilling prophecy.

You made a great decision to get sleeved, you are giving yourself the best chance to get healthy and slim. But in the same way you couldn't lose weight without a sleeve, your sleeve can't lost weight without you doing your bit.

Protein, fluids and exercise. Do what you have been asked to do and your sleeve will work with you to achieve your goals. Don't start out with failure at the front of your mind - think "fresh start" and the chance to get things right. There will be bumps on the road but you have done well so far. Focus on that and banish the thought of failure.... Good luck :-))))

I'm so sorry it wasn't meant to scare you keke but to tell others its ok to feel the way they are feeling and they are not alone.I would love to be able too own this sleeve like many others do.I'm not there in my journey yet. I'm doing good thus far with some bumps n bruises...it's very mental at this time for me. So good luck to everyone one. It's going to be a good ride!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
