Where are all my May Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Sleeved May 5, down 35 lbs including preop loss. Feeling discouraged. I'm at a stall at 170, but I've also been on two long weekend mini vacations and probably not eating the best. I have been exercising consistently and calories staying around 800-900/day. I gotta get back on track just need a little motivation ...

My biggest problem is getting my Water in. Have never had to throw up, but eating to much or to fast is uncomfortable and has made me consider throwing up.

Sleeved May 29 and down 34 pounds since surgery, 54 total. Had a stall week 3 and now another one this week. Same weight every day for a week. I limit my carbs to under 30 per day, get in at least 60 grams of Protein and drink Water constantly. Ive lost inches and like wearing normal clothes. Right now I'm shopping in my own closet and having fun finding old/new clothes again.

I don't think I'll hit onderland by my vacstion but hope to be there by the time I get home. A week of walking on the beach, snorkeling and eating fresh fish has to help! It will be weird not to weigh myself every day while I'm gone.

Surgery was 5/12/14 & I'm down 45 lbs. Yay! So happy I did this. Haven't had any issues with any food I've tried. Saw my surgeon yesterday & she's happy with my progress. Tossed out all my 3x shirts but still wearing my size 24 pants but they are getting baggy. Washed all my old size 22 & 20 pants so I have pants to wear. I'm retired so I don't have to worry about work outfits. That helps with the clothing budget.

Onward & downward everyone.

Hi May Sleevers! Wanted to check in with everyone and see your progress. I feel great, been taking ballet classes (childhood pastime) and clothes fit great. Finally wearing a size 12. I really do t mean to complain but I have been the. Same weight for over a month. Anyone else experience this? Just wondering if the weight loss is over.

I was sleeved may 5th and am down 75lbs. I did stall for about 3 weeks, but I'm back on track now. Almost out of my 12s and headed for my next goal of fitting into my wedding dress I wore 14 years ago! I don't regret a day and I'm enjoying my new found energy and active life!

I feel like I'm stalled too bit try to focus on what's important and not get too stuck on the numbers on the scale. I guess we didn't gain it over night either. So I'm hovering around 58 pounds right now. It's hard to think maybe this is it. I'm not even half way to my goal. Hang in there May sleevers. Lots of reasons to celebrate!

I was sleeved May 20th and am down 55lbs. I've been at a stalling point for about 3 weeks. I just keep eating my Protein and working out. I even bought a treadmill :) It can be defeating at times-like I thought maybe the weight would come off faster and easier-but this is marathon not a race. I'm down to a size 16 (4 sizes!!) and love how much more energy I have. I struggle getting in all my fluids daily as well, but I'm trying my best as am sure all of you are! Great job everyone and congrats on all of your successes ( scale and non scale)!!

Howdy!

I used to literally hate, and don't hate me for it, but hate how people referred to this decision as the best decision ever. I guess it all is about life's experiences. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't feel that way, but I get it May-ers! This summer has been awesome! I never realized how few pictures I took until I started allowing myself to be in more. We'd go to shows and be invited on stage and I said, hey why not. Would not have happened before! I've just been living differently, same person, but a little louder I suppose.

For reference (not comparison, please), female, 5'10," and about a size 10. The doctor asked me to be in his commercial (I'll never be that loud - not happening), but it was a feel good moment. No doubt, the surgery did more than help, but I exercise like a nut so I sometimes allow myself to be happy not for this medical procedure but also for what I did with it.

Let's keep it going!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
