Crystal Woods 193 Posted October 3, 2012 I am only 5' 0" tall. I had my sleeve on 03/01/2012 and I have only lost 3 pounds in the last 2 months. The rules I followed and did not break and that worked for me were: (1) no carbonated beverages (2) no breads, pastas, or other grains (3) really easy on the sweets - I drink unsweet tea instead or regular, I have 1 square of a candy bar instead of the whole bar, etc Other things I did were (1) remembering that after the sleeve I no longer can feel hunger so when I caught myself saying I was hungry I corrected myself and over time it became habit to say I am not hungry every time I see food I want to eat... (2) I didn't force myself to eat. I didn't eat all I could to try to meet my calorie and Protein requirements- yes I did lose lots of hair but my bloodwork consistently looks great and I feel great. Some days I would only take in 200 calories other days closer to 600 right now it fluctuates between 300 and 900 typically. (3) I weigh daily to keep myself motivated and focused on my health and body. Everyone is different and I am sure there are critics already tearing this apart but the bottom line is that it worked for me. 2 slojo and happilysleeved reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted October 3, 2012 Crystal: I love your post! I like that you stated that this worked for you and you are not telling others to this either. You are a success! Those are the rules that I basically follow and do have some foods I shouldn't. Keep up the good work and I love reading your posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
