Amybeth12 6 Posted August 17, 2013 That is awesome! My goal is to wear a medium/large. Right now I am in 2xl but that should start to change soon. Do you find you can eat about anything? How do you feel when you are full enough? I don't want to over eat. Sorry for all the questions! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you feel when you are full enough? I don't want to over eat. Sorry for all the questions! ! I can eat anything just small amounts. I have never eaten fried foods, rice, or Pasta though. I just have no interest in carbs ( that's what made me fat haha ). Honestly, I was pretty hungry after surgery until I got to week 3. Once you get to soft foods the restriction starts to kick in. I've never gotten sick. The sleeve just tells me when to stop and I don't push beyond that. Who's doing your surgery ? Dr Weiss did mine and he's wonderful, it was really easy. The only complaint I had was fatigue for 2 weeks after surgery but after that I've felt great Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
