April 14th I Become A Sleever



Recommended Posts

This has been a long tedious journey but so worth every time I have wanted to pull my hair out or kick the snot out of someone for another disappointment or set back. My emotions are all over the place from being over the top with excitement to be scared out if my mind. I'm so glad I found this forum as I've made some really great friends here and the ongoing support is fantastic. Thanks for sharing your WLS journeys with me and allowing me to share mines this far with you. you all are the greatest!

Omg that's great let's stay in touch. I was supposed to be sleeved March 24th and got pushed back. I was PISSEDDDD but said maybe it wasn't intended for that to be my day so I regrouped and embraced my new date that according to my surgeon is in stone now. Lol

I am very nervous, plus on a different forum everybody is talking about the bypass being the best choice and with sleeve I will gain back. I know I will not but these are the last things I need to hear now.

I wish April 14th was tomorrow just to be done and over with this!

How are you ladies holding on?

Do you have to do pre-op diet?

Hey there I'm doing well! Went to my group nutrition class which was about lifestyle and diet before and after surgery. Was very informational appointment. I have to do a FULL liquid diet no 1 meal a day for me even though others have been allowed to by their surgeon but each surgeon can be different.

On the sleeve vs bypass this is strictly my opinion whichever WLS u choose is a personal decision between u and ur surgeon based on ur unique situation. Bypass may be a better option for some but not everyone and this goes for the sleeve, bypass, band, switch, and any other WLS. In regards to weigh loss and the ability to gain it back if we don't work our tool weight gain is a great possibility. Now for me I'm not putting my body through holy hell to have this major surgery if I'm not willing to make the lifestyle changes. None of these interventions or surgeries are a magical fix they r tool that we have to actually use and work at to help us not only lose the weight but to also become healthier beings. Weight loss is a huge plus but we also have to focus on the wealth of other benefits we are getting not just the weight loss. I don't knock anyone choice of WLS I just suggest u do the research, know urself, be open with ur surgeon and pick the best surgical procedure for u. We r all in this together and here to support one another regardless of which procedure we decide to have.

I am having my surgery on 4/14/14 as well. I am working on emotional eating right now and trying to feel my emotions rather than masking them with food. Holy crap! The fear is getting to me. I am having bathroom issues like crazy. The good news is that I have lost 4 pounds by just cutting out the obvious emotional eating. I start the liquid diet on Monday. I am terrified about not being able to make it 2 weeks without eating.

Basically, I am freaking out. Anyone else?

      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?
