May 15th, 2017 Sleevers Check in Here!!!

I took the time to go back to the beginning and read up on all of us in our pre-op and the excitement gearing up to our surgeries. Wow, seems so long ago but only 5 months ago. Crazy! I do miss hearing from most though. Hope you all chime in again soon. 😊

Happy Saturday y’all. I’ve been on RealSelf doing some research for a mommy makeover. The hope to not have so much loose skin is still going, but I also know I need to stay in reality. It’s only 5months and we’ve still got a long ways to go. I think docs suggest waiting until 18 months out and seeing how you maintain at goal as well. Well, I’m jelly again. Mostly because I haven’t been working out like I used to. I did go to the gym three times this past week and am aiming for that or 4 this next week. In the past, working out was fun and I looked forward to going. Now, I feel like it’s a chore (only felt this way the past two months actually—I think it’s because I’m just super busy these days and having to squeeze it in). Now, I ALWAYS feel great once I do it, so I have to battle my feelings of late. I’ve been dreaming of going back to my old schedule of being a stay at home mom. Kids to school and me to the gym most everyday. It was wonderful. But I need to work for a little while longer to obtain total financial peace (debt free). Won’t be long now I hope...but until then, I’ll fight this feeling, of which I’m sure will go away, to go to the gym and get stronger and keep hoping my in will bounce back just a bit. But you know what, even if it doesn’t, I don’t mind, I’m healthier, that trumps my looks. But I’m definitely getting a breast fit!!!! Lol

It is hard to create new habits or restore old good habits. I have felt some frustrations on being too busy also. You will get there I just know it This is where I think having a friend to work out with would be so nice!

I really think I want to get a Tummy Tuck and I think that is going to be my first gift to myself next year. I think I am going to schedule some consults in February just to see how much it will cost and what is recommended for me.

You should definitely get the breast lift and tuck. You deserve it!! Even if you have to space it out and save up.

I think I will. It’s about $10,000 here...and i saw one doc giving $1000 off to first time patients. So my goal is to find a reputable doc and get a great deal too. I found one in a Houston, a couple of them actually, but I’m a little leary of having to be in the car for four hours afterwards. I know people donit all the time though. There is one here, but I’ll have to do some more research on him.

I like this guy...Dr John Nyugen.

Happy 5 months post y’all!!! I do hope some of you come back here with some updates soon. Until then, I hope you all are having fantastic transformations!!!

Currently as of this morning I’m 197 lbs. I’ll take it! Even though it’s just 3 lbs loss from last month. The last two months have been moving very slow for me, I’ve had my frustrations and stress over it, but over all that, I am well. I accept the slow results and I’m happy for the losses as well. So, from my highest weight, I am down 69 lbs, whoo whoo! I will try and switch up some things before my next doc follow up at 6mo post.

Also currently, I’ve noticed I’m not eating as much as I was just a few days ago. Seems as if I’m limited back to the months 2-3. I ate half an egg this morning and half a veggie Breakfast pattie. Yesterday, I barely ate. I struggled to get my liquids in as well. So, not sure what’s going on. I did have an issue with motor skills. Someone recommended B complex Vitamins which I bought and started yesterday. Hopefully that’ll solve that issue. I’m thinking it’s all tied in together somehow though. We shall see...

Here are some current pics of me at 197. I’m not on the computer to easily navigate to my before pics I’ve posted here, so I’ll find them later and post them again to show a comparison. Now, my belly seems to be the last thing that wants to go down!!!! Lol. I know it will, just kind of wish it would have been the first! 😊

Happy 5 months everyone!!! I weighed myself today and weighed in at 189.8 so I’ve lost about 46 pounds so far. I am pretty proud of that. I haven’t been as active because I’ve also lost another 220 pounds in the form of a my bf. He apparently can’t handle the new me and is not supportive at all and he was in the process of leaving over the past few days which have been pretty difficult. I will try to post a pic later if I feel up it...

Hi everyone! I was sleeved on 5/26 and started my preop diet on 5/16. 95 pounds down with my biggest loss this month (not including the starvation 1st month [emoji33]).

I have gone from a size 24 to size 16 and am exercising and whipping this body into shape!

Hon I’m sorry to hear but also glad too. Sometimes it’s better for it to be nipped in the bud before it got worse or worse, you’re legally tied. I’m sorry still you have to bear the heartache of it. I pray that you will find comfort and peace and start living happily for you, yourself.

Great Job!! You are doing so well. Did you lose 95 pounds since your surgery? That is amazing.
