Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?



Recommended Posts

I wish someone would start a fb for September sleevers. Need lots of support. Tried to bond with some from my Drs office Thursday, but none were September sleevers

I'd be happy to start a FB group. That's a GREAT IDEA!! Let me put it together and I will let you know when it's up! Give me a bit, I have to take my puppy to the dog park! He's worse than a 5 year old right now! LOL
ok, I created the group, I need to add a picture etc., if you would like to be invited please either post your email here (if you are ok with it, or please send me a message and I will send you an invite via email! :D

@Notforthefaint....your family history story really hit home with me. My mom has been a yo yo dieter her whole life but I am way bigger than she ever has been. I'm 5'8" and 290 w BMI 44. My dad died of massive sudden heart attack at age of 43 just from mowing the yard! He was 320 pounds at that time! I'm 46 (tomorrow) so I've already outlived him by 3 years. I found out in February I have mild case of type 2 diabetes and borderline high cholesterol and that's a real wake up call! My son just turned 20 but he is my motivation and biggest fan. My hubby has never had a weight problem and while he does support my decision to do this, he doesn't "get" why it has to be and why I can't lose on my own. Anyway I am glad to be making some friends on this site! We all have so much in common! Getting close for me and I'm so excited!

Update: In the middle of trying to figure out when I can schedule, working around my work schedule and our vacation plans, and not hearing back from the surgery scheduler....my husband has now been hospitalized for 2 weeks. We are 500 miles from home. He has had 4 procedures, and now will have another surgery on Wednesday. The scheduler FINALLY called 2 days ago, (a month after approval), and I still have no idea when I can schedule. If my husband is released next week, he still won't be able to drive for probably a month. He will be ok, but this is a recurrence of something he fought for 3 years that we thought was over a year ago.

I feel incredibly selfish saying this, but I am considering going with a friend while my husband is recovering. I have worked so hard to get here....and I spent years taking care of him. I need to take care of me.

Your husband should definitely understand. Do this for yourself

My sleep study was last night, interesting experience. My tech didn't wake me up to put on a cpap, but that doesn't mean I don't have sleep apnea. Won't know for 3-4 days, hopefully sooner. I may have to come back for a second study, but sleep with a cpap.

EDG is no big deal. I had one about a year ago.

I had my EGD last Thursday and I was nervous because I really have never had anything done under sedation. It was piece of cake. Walked out in 2 hours feeling perfectly normal. Had lunch w my mom right after leaving surgery center. Not even a sore throat.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
