Any August Sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

Hi Katie I also stalled for a month, my scale did not want to budge yet I had been religiously eating right and getting my steps in. The only think that broke me from the stall was doing the opposite and eating more for about almost a week. Sometimes glycogen restoration is needed for the body to let go of things again.

Hi! I was sleeved on August 17th. I’ve lost 57lb since surgery. However, it is veryyy slow now, and the scale jumps down instead of going down steadily. Also, my hair is falling out like crazy. It is all over my bed and especially in the shower. I have super long hair though so it’s very annoying when falling out. I’ve been taking my Vitamins and Biotin since surgery. Never missed a day. Does not prevent Hair loss. Things are getting easier mentally, but I still miss my comfort food.

Hello friends. I was sleeved Aug 15. Down 32 lbs since surgery, plus another 15 on the pre surgery diet. Happy with the weight loss so far but I just can't hit my goals for Protein or Water. Nothing ever seems appealing to me to eat probably because I've had a lot of nausea on and off since surgery. Every time I eat or drink I have to be very mindful to not allow my body to go into nausea mode. I feel better when I have nothing in my stomach. I also haven't even begun to exercise. This whole journey has definitely been a struggle for me. Still trying to mentally get to a good place. As someone else mentioned I too am still feeling unhappy because I miss the comfort of food. And it's weird to open the fridge, find nothing appetizing, then just close it. Thankfully the weight loss this far feels good and helps prop me up while I'm feeling disappointed in myself. I do have a therapist that I've seen regularly for years so we're working on all this stuff together. This is such a challenge.

... also in the Hair loss stage. Totally freaks me out seeing so much on the brush, in the shower, on the floor. It really is scary to see.

I also have been taking my daily Vitamins and Biotin (started 2 weeks before surgery date). Not sure if the Biotin does anything but I take it anyways to keep my hair from receding. Was wondering if any of us August sleevers where fully healed from their incisions? I am except for my belly button which seems to have started leaking again. It did it recently right after surgery and cleared up and now it recently started back up. I read incisions take up to a year to fully heal.

Down 79 post op and sleeved on the 21st. Feeling good about weight loss but need to get to the gym more, losing some muscle mass. Walking 4 flights in the city with two kids might be helping the weight loss. Feel better physically, joints and previous sports injuries, meeting my 60-90g Protein goal but still feel really full after eating anything. Also experience dizziness when standing up too quick but surgeon said its a normal reaction to losing a lot of weight and my body adjusting.

on 8/1/2018 I had gastric sleeve surgery. I'm down 48 pounds. I did not exercise for the first 2 months it was too hot out and to be honest I didn't want to. Now I walk 3 -4 times a week and loss between 1/2 lb and 1 1/2 lbs weekly It is slow but I just turned 70 and feel great. So happy I did this after a year of procrastination.

      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!

      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!!
