This is why I love my sleeve



Recommended Posts

I have been a bad girl during the holidays. I ate things I should not have and got way off plan. I have recommitted myself to following the plan starting the new year. I have been eating on plan ( and yes, it has been hard to get back on track) and moving more. In just a couple days I managed to not only get the couple pounds off I regained, I also managed to lose two additional pounds. I am at the year end goal I set for myself and only a few days late. This is why I love the sleeve. As long as I do what I am supposed to do I WILL lose the weight! Best desicion I ever made!

Same here, I've been eating like total crap lately and that was only compounded by the holidays. It took me a couple weeks to rebound but I did and I woke up today lighter than I've been in probably 20 years.

I do love my sleeve and the decision I made to get it.

Me too, lighter than in years. I do not know the actual last time I was this weight, but I would say at least 15+ years!

I'm with you! I ate with abandon too many Holiday goodies. Somehow managed to only gain 2 lbs. Got back on track Thursday and already dropped the 2 lbs. surprised at how quick that happened. Now onward to goal! I just have to keep reminding myself why I got the surgery and that it isn't a cure for my food addiction, just a really great tool to help me if I use it correctly. Taking part in the Valentine's Fay challenge which I hope will keep me motivated.

It's not hard to get off track. It does get harder the farther out you get. So develop healthy clean eating habits and always be on top of your game. We can do this, it takes making a habit out of it.... :P

Lol, I thought I was the only one who got a little off track. I did great until I made my grandmas snowball Cookies. Those things are evil lol

Anyway, I gained 2.5lbs. over the holidays, and have since taken double that off. I too am in love with my sleeve (and my new more powerful "good angel").

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
