You know what though?

You really should do what YOUR surgeon says is ok, not what a message board full of sleevers says. We've all had different experiences, and different surgeons.

Your surgeon is the one performing the surgery on you, not us. So I say check with your surgeon.

"Never trade what u want most for what u want at the moment"

Happy Birthday to you!

I view being sleeved like getting married and right now we're all engaged. We are all making plans, doing tons of research, making purchases in preparation for our big day! Weddings and marriages are beautiful and people enjoy attending but most times the guest or attendees doesn't realize the bonafide hard work, sweat, tears, and sacrifices you've made to make this dream wedding come true they only see the finished product. Having weight loss surgery is the exact same. Think about it we spend hours upon hours on line, reading books, talking to people we know and those we don't in an attempt to learn all we can to yield the greatest success throughout all phases of this WLS journey, we're making purchases to ensure we have everything we need, and most of all we are getting our minds right as there's no magic at the alter nor is it in the operating room.

With all that said our sleeves will be our tool and just like a marriage you tend to get out of what you put in it. That's not to say the journey will always be easy as there will be struggles and bumps along the way but take your time and enjoy the journey. March 3rd and on ward in good times and stalls embrace your sleeve because if you hang in there long enough you will reap the rewards of all your hard work. You got this finish strong. I think many times we don't realize our lives aren't over we're being granted a new start you will be able to Celebrate future birthdays and enjoy the things you love on your special day just a lot less of it. Whatever you decide to do there's no judgement ever here as we are all striving for the same goal. HANG IN THERE YOU GOT THISSSSSS!!! Lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
