October Sleevers



Recommended Posts

My surgery was Oct. 30 and I've lost 32 lbs. I haven't run into any stalls yet but I also don't have a ton to lose so mine has been slow and steady over the last 2 months but I am really happy.

Mine has been 35 pounds. With a one month stall, today the scale dropped a pound so just maybe it's over? My surgery was Oct 27th

I was a band to sleeve conversion on October 14th .. I was already down 130lbs when my band slipped. I am now 6 months out .. And have no idea what I am doing . I measure every meal .. I count calories every day . I have not lost any weight since December .. I have gained 5.. Actually I fluctuate between 175..180 .. I worry constantly about stretching my sleeve .. I do not do any carbonation .. Some days I have what I feel is restriction other days I feel none . I just need to know there are other people out there like me. I get hungry I wasn't lucky enough to never feel hunger again . I miss my band but feel like it was more of a crutch than a tool. I feel more normal with the sleeve yet scared I will gain my weight back . Any help or encouragement would be welcome

@@Melissayw816, wow we have similarities. I've lost 59lbs, Goal is 140 but honestly, I may have to tweak the weight as time goes on. My goal is a size 8-regardless of the number on the scale.

I, too, have been struggling with a stall off & on for the last 1 1/2 month.

I'm going to try to work out four days a week and definitely reduce my carbs. Hopefully, I'll see the scale start moving again

GOAL WEIGHT 245 OR 14% Body fat or less.

I am doing well working out getting my Protein and fluids in. The only thing is I can not eat ground beef and still working on the tempo at which I eat.

      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!!
