genepha 47 Posted July 10, 2013 I agree 100%! I've only been sleeved for 15 days but so far, my eating has been so much better. I had horrible heart burn with the band and it lingered for a few days after my sleeve but now that's resolved thanks to switching PPIs. I look forward to being able to eat "normally" with the sleeve once I'm all healed. I think with the band I traded one eating disorder (overeating) for another (bulimia). So far, no vomiting with the sleeve. I take small bites and chew, chew, chew my mushies!! 1 Nursebarbie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was awful! 1 genepha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chinamama 104 Posted July 11, 2013 I was actually real scared to even try it. Only problem was getting full on about 1/2 an ounce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KaraColadarci 0 Posted July 11, 2013 This feeling is so much different for me. It really is more of a feeling of being satisfied than being over stuffed. It is really hard to explain the difference but it is so much better. I no longer have the constant drive to eat or hungry that I had with the band. I feel like the sleeve helps me control myself. I never felt in control of my appetite with my band. That's so my issue. I'm starving all the time and can eat a lot at one time. But when my band is full, I get severely sick. It's nice to hear a "sleever" compare and contrast when you were exactly where I am now. And I definitely want to be where you are now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
