Janese58 11 Posted September 25, 2011 The sleeve if worked right will help you eat healthy for the rest of your life. Like someone else said "its calories in calories out". Its basic. Its much easier for me to eat 1000 to 1200 calories a day with my new little stomach. I couldnt have stayed this course with my old big fatter rounder stomach. I can eat healthy and eat a piece of candy or ice cream without getting sick. I just add it into my daily calorie count. I wanted to eat like a thin person and not be able to pig out at buffets anymore. So far so good. I also didnt care how long it took to lose the weight as I am 53, and losing alot of weight in a short amount of time would only make me look older and saggy. If it takes a year or more to lose 80 pounds, ok Im good with it. Its all about personal choice. Do alot of research before making the decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
