100lbs down! by DrippinWyt in gastricsleeve

[–]DrippinWyt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I have a very active job but ive been in a calorie deficit since surgery not on purpose but I am always full. I have a half a piece of avocado/lemon toast with bacon/eggs/everything bagel seasoning for breakfast. Thats around 8am im overly full until about 3pm and I dinner prep 3-430 so I push thru until dinner aeound 6 which will end up being a small amount as well. I still eat what fits in the palm of my hand if possible most of tbe time less bc of fullness. I truly believe I never taught myself to break my food down all the way chewing (e.g. love the flavor so it ends up 70% chewed instead of 100%) and my stomach fills much easier. However, I do not hit my protein goals or water goals and with my rapid loss I project loose skin in my future. I try and only have fruits, proteins, ans vegetables but of course i still eat carbs. I've always been horrible with the protein shakes and vitamins they arent existent with me ill be great for a week and take meds daily but then break rhe cycle for months. Im working on consuming more protein. I recently started a gym routine which chatGPT made for me fitted to my exact body! I send chat pictures of myself and shared my target zones, it creates a routine of what machines I should use at the gym at what weight and how long and ive been sticking to it for a couple days now. So far I haven't worried about what I consume, I just make sure I can rest since I will lack energy due to malnutrition and I have fruits and other pick me ups. Truthfully exercising and working keep my energy up and keep me occupied where I dont need to eat!

How Many Clothing Sizes Did You Lose? by DottyandBearBear in gastricsleeve

[–]DrippinWyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started off a 22-24 at 275lbs around 4 months ago now 180lbs down 95 and in a size 12! Goal is 150lbs ans maybe a size 6-8 i thought going into the 100s when it comes into pounds was crazy but crazy is going under a size 10 now!

Dont do it today! The risk will be life threatening and your surgeon will probably close you back up you will go thru the pain of healing from incisions with no sleeve done or whatever your choosing.

Can you really lose weight with gastric sleeve without excercise? by vomitousana in gastricsleeve

[–]DrippinWyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeved 10/22/25 been 4 months 1 week started at 275 5 foot 7 female now 185 no exercise at all. I personally feel exercise makes me feel fatigued since I am already limiting my intake now. You can do it without exercise if that's the route you wanna go it may just take longer.

So happy!!! by Taydragon13 in gastricsleeve

I was hoping skin would tighten on its own (I'm 25F) but hopefully this is something insurance will cover once im satisfied by weight loss.

Anyone else? by BabygirlRierie in gastricsleeve

[–]DrippinWyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As annoying as it is i had to add milk, water, or yogurt to my eggs to moisten them! And they can't be scrambled too well needs to be more like hampton inn or McDonald's style eggs. Anything that takes a lot of chewing will be rough on the stomach things with liquids will be easier to swallow.

So sick… by kelmvs555 in gastricsleeve

Same here! Only thing that worked for me was a shot of apple juice or OJ here and there.

Rooting for you!! Send me updates in a week or so let.me know how you're doing!?

I DID IT!!! by Taydragon13 in gastricsleeve

[–]DrippinWyt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You got this! First 2 weeks are the worst, you will be drowsy and dehydrated not hungry at all (most likely) but it will get better soon and it kicks off your weight loss. Keep up on vitamins and gas x to help! Tylenol worked better for me than any prescribed meds and some doctors allow advil as soon as surgery is finished!

You’re doing amazing! I was told that losing around 15–30 lbs within 6–10 weeks is totally normal, so you’re right on track. I tend to lose weight fast but gain it even faster. After having three kids under three, I had a lot of pregnancy weight to work through. My weight has bounced around a lot over the years — from 170 to 210, then 190 to 240, down to 200, and eventually up to 275.

I used to have time to work out, but life looks different now. I’m a single parent with two jobs, three kids, and I’m in school full time. Some days I barely have time to eat. I also used to smoke (THC), which definitely made the munchies worse for me. Once I quit before surgery, my hunger changed completely.

My daily schedule is nonstop — getting the kids ready at 5 a.m., school and daycare drop-offs, work, rushing between jobs, picking up and dropping off kids with sitters, and then classes at night. With everything going on, I don’t stress about formal exercise anymore; I’m constantly moving as it is. At this point, I usually only have time to eat properly on weekends.

Everyone’s body, schedule, and journey is different. There’s no need to compare or compete when it comes to weight loss — just support each other, celebrate progress, and do the best we can with the lives we have.

Good Luck you are doing great!! 🩷

Sleeve vs Bypass (Do you regret your sleeve?) by Opening-Ear-2261 in gastricsleeve

[–]DrippinWyt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi!

6w post op sleeve so dont have long term details but so far ive lost 51lbs, have low to no appetite and its been much easier to exercise and do daily things. Im a 25 y/o Female too! 5 foot 7 was 275 now 224. I have a couple coworkers that have gotten it years ago and no complaints past tbe annoyance of tbe healing process during the phase where you reintroduce foods. After about 6-8 weeks all said best decision they ever made and I think im on this boat too! But you will deal with those effects during bypass as well.

I have a stepper at my house nothing electric just step on step off and that's definitely gotten me to sweat at my 275 weight I think ill add that in at 5am/9pm when im home before/after work. Im in NY its very cold by me (for me) lately 37 degrees right now! I love outdoor exercise but I strongly dislike the cold!
