June Sleevers Lets Get Excited!!!



Recommended Posts

Doing well so far. 36 lbs since surgery 6/21. Wish it was higher but can’t be sad over 63 lbs total since last Christmas when I broke 300 on the scale 🙄 looking forward to Disney World the end of this month and not worrying about fitting in any rides. Knock on wood, absolutely no issues so far. No dumping, no foods that haven’t agreed with me. Getting my fluids in fine every day. Blood pressure doing well and hope to be off meds by this Christmas. Wish had enough room to eat a huge salad and still have a serving of Protein with it, but patience is the key. Need to start some serious resistance training, build up the muscles under the beginning sagging skin. But the future is bright :)

Hey Snapple!

I’ve been out of the June Sleevers loop lately (6/5 down 35 pounds). Sounds like you are doing great! I am at a weird plateau & have been for a few weeks. And I’m feeling like I’ve gotten right back into all of the old bad habits I had for 30 years! I’m so disappointed in myself because everything went so well with the surgery & I felt great losing the weight! So much more energy, getting back into clothes I haven’t worn in years! I was so hopeful. But in the last few weeks everything that could possibly go wrong has gone wrong. And my entire life focus has had to change again.

My parents - aged 90 & 87 are needing more & more care & even tho we hired an aide, things just keep getting worse. Both have dementia & Mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer. So I’m trying to get them into assisted living, get my Mom’s cancer plan in place, constantly taking them to doctors appointments, working full time, (I just got a promotion!) take care of my family, and I’ve had absolutely no time to plan, track my food, exercise, or take care of me! I feel like I never even had surgery! I do get full fast but if I just wait a while, I can eat again. I’ve starting grazing again! And, just like before, I wake up every morning & say, “Today is the day! I’ll start again. “ and like before, it doesn’t happen. Arghhh I am so mad at myself!

Anyway, sorry to be a bummer! I think I need to get back into this blog & eat like I did after surgery. Maybe some encouragement will help!

keep up your great work!

Surgery 6/11/18 down 40 since pre-op. 28 since surgery. 2 lbs away from being overweight rather than obese. It has not been easy sailing though. Still struggling with edema, but it is improving, Thyroid problems, TSH dropped to .03, but T3 and T4 are normal. Lost more muscle than I hoped, but lifting weights and getting steps in on good days. Getting in all Protein and Water, so I am guessing the muscle loss is related to thyroid issues. Waiting for appointment with endocrinologist. I actually probably eat more than I am supposed to, but have not eaten anything processed (with the exception of restaurant food? ) or not on the approved list. I wanted to do some Soups, but I have to keep the sodium down. Darn menopause....I am still hoping to reach goal weight around Christmas time.

Gosh, I'm sorry to hear that you have so much going on. Hopefully once you get your parents taken care of things might slow down for a bit? You really can do it!!!!

For me, I've found out that walking is the key. I got a Fitbit and I seriously walk as much as I can. I started at a simple 4000 steps per day and upped it every week until now where I'm currently at 9000. It does take some time, but for awhile I could complete most of this within 30 minutes as I did a few thousand and then when I added the steps I do just in a normal day, I would hit my goal. I've found that the best time to do this is in the morning. If there is any way for you to work this into your day, you won't regret it. And this is the most physical activity I've had in 10 years since I have Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Omgoodness! You look awesome! Congratulations!

Honestly, you look like a completely different person & I mean that people who knew you before surgery probably don’t even recognize you!

You gave me inspiration to do better!

Congratulations again!

I’ve had a few stalls since surgery 6/21, one lasted 3 weeks. Down 42 so far. Just have patience, it’ll kick in again. Make sure you’re staying at 64 Oz or more on fluids and at least 60g on Protein. Can try and raise those more to see if helps or maybe add in some extra carbs for a couple days. But make them healthy ones. Make sure you’re also getting enough calories and aren’t going too low. Good luck!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
