March 2020 Sleevers Check in

[MeeshyMooshy 1]

Hey Guys,

I am newly posting but have been reading along since last year. I got sleeved on March 4th, 2020. The day I got the surgery the hospital I was in had 2 covid cases, and then the city shut down. I haven't been to a support group meeting (obviously because covid) but thank you all for your post they have been my support since.

I just wanted to check in with anyone else that may have had the surgery in March to see how you are doing? I have been feeling a bit depressed lately. I don't know if it's from the pandemic or the slowing of my progress or a combination of all. I have lost a total of 70 lbs since March but I haven't lost anything for the past 2 months and it's depressing me. I did lose a lot of inches but it has been hard to get workouts in and I am getting concerned about the loose skin. I got the surgery at 243lbs and am currently 172 lbs. I am thinking of going back to a soft foods diet but I barely get 1000 calories in a day.

Just looking for some other stories or support/suggestions here.

BTW I don't regret a thing and good luck to everyone that is going through the process!

We have a lot in common! I was sleeved on March 3, 2020. Starting weight was 254 and got down to 161 but have crept back up to 168 and have been comfort eating surgery deserts for about a week now. Am so nervous about that that I reinstalled this app after having been away for months. Let’s support each other in keeping this weight off for good! I read last night that some people set a danger weight where if they reach that, it’s a serious sign to get moving and back to healthy eating.
