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.

Just had the Unjury chicken broth for lunch. Good stuff. Liked the unjury, ordered the unflavored. Also ordered another kind that's cake batter flavored, will report when I try.

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.

      tl:dr at bottom,
      I could use some advice. I went to see my dietician today (not a bariatric surgery dietician, I can explain why I am seeing her if you want to know). She knows I am going to have weight loss surgery as long as I hit the goal weight my insurance told me I need to be at. I have to be at the goal weight by June 24, 2023, in order for my insurance to pay for my surgery.
      I had a weigh in the doctor's office a couple of days ago and weighed 301, my scale at home said 302. However, on the same day, the scale at a friend's house said 313. 
      I knew I had this Dietician appointment two days later and I knew she would weigh me. I continued to weigh myself at home (after getting new batteries) and I was at 302 then 299 and today at home I weighed 303, right before my appointment, when I got to her office I was weighed and it said 313.
      I am concerned about what to believe since the doctor's office and my scale show similar numbers. I also bought a new scale today and it said 313. 
      The Dietician told me I needed to eat more protein, which honestly I struggle with. she said I needed 150 grams!!  I said are you kidding? that seems like a lot.  She used my weight to come up with this number. 
      Should I really be trying to eat enough protein for a 300-lb person or should I be eating protein for a goal-weight person (mine is 170)?   
      also, my clothing is loose like I lost the 20 lbs mine and the doctor's scale shows, and not 10 lbs like everyone else's scale shows. Also, I have always naturally been more muscular even when I was 120 lbs and did not eat any protein aside from what is in plants. 
      tl:dr- should I be eating enough protein to support a 300lb person or should I be eating protein for a "normal" sized person? AND should I trust the Doctors scale more so than the Dietician's scale?

        Hi!

        I would love to be your accountability partner. I had the sleeve in 2021, so maybe I can give you some insights.

        Please message me back, looking forward to hearing from you!

        -Jessi
