African American Sleevers

[CTDEE 58]

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!

Hubby is from Bim so the carb temptation is scaring me. He wants rice and bread with everything! I'm trying to get into the mindset now but man it's tough!

Band to sleeve losses tend to be a bit slower, but still VERY effective! Keep the faith!!!

Is that true? I pray that isn't the case for me. I have to do well with this. It's my second time around and thus weight has got to go NOW!

I know I'm already 5 lbs from my lowest weight ever with the band I'm staying positive...
