August Sleevers-How are you doing??



Recommended Posts

Had my annual physical with my primary this past week and for once the conversation didn't focus on being overweight! He was extremely happy with the progress I've made and we were able to talk about other issues that I needed to talk about (my ADD) which was a nice change of pace. The best moment was when the PA looked at my chart and said, "do you know what you weighed last year when you came in for your physical?" and it was 2lb more than what I've been counting my starting weight at.

Hey all I got Sleeved 8/25/2017, started my journey exactly a year ago today weighing 357 on 5/31/2017 ...a year later I am 210 and feel amazing however I will say it is very easy to go astray if you dont work at it every day. Best thing to do is if you slip just get right back going good luck to all of you. It aint easy.

I've been in a 5 month stall gaining and losing the same 3 lbs. I joke and tell everyone I've lost 50 pounds since January...but it's been the same 3 lbs over and over and over.
Surgery was 14 Aug 2017.

I've started back on my walking weekday morning. I'm up to over 3 miles. Try to get it done before the sun comes up and makes it 500 degrees in South Texas.

Thanks. I feel like a whole new person.

Also has anyone else had degradation of their eyesight? I now have to wear glasses for reading an computer use. Which is pretty much all the time with my job.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
