African American Sleevers

blackbeautywaiting · October 22, 2014

Word of advice from a veteran sleever who fell off of the wagon since surgery almost two years ago...protein, Protein, protein and lots of water! I've been re-energized by doing this and feel like my sleeve is working for me again...I've cut down on carbs tremendously (most come from fruits), and I've focused on staying hydrated. For new sleevers, don't ever get discouraged! Follow your surgeon and nutritionist's instructions and the pounds will melt off. As you progress, stay away from slider foods (my downfall) and focus on protein first; it will keep you fuller longer. I haven't hit onederland yet, but I sure am looking forward to getting there. Just 21 pounds to go! Stay focused all! Keep your eyes on the prize and remember why you did all this! Good luck!

What's slider foods?

foods that "slide" down easily your pouch (i.e chips)...foods that turn to mush usually slide right out of the pouch and into the intestines fairly easy always giving the feeling of hunger. Slider foods fool you into thinking you can eat more...if you focus on your Proteins first you will feel full sooner and fuller longer. Hope this helps!

Congratulations! I use nectar vanilla Bean Protein mix with 1% milk. Very enjoyable without the carbs...
