Stephanie Salsera Perrott 85 Posted March 2, 2015 I have a question for all you Post-ops! How does keeping weight off with sleeve compare to keeping it off with no help? I've lost 70lbs on weight watchers before and got as low as 188lbs (44lbs from goal) but honestly I think I was able to stay at that weight for literally a day lol. Just wondering how much the sleeve makes a difference one you're close to goal... thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alwaysvegas 702 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Having no hunger hormone (ghrelin) and a limited capacity for food have helped me tremendously. I generally want food when I need energy and if my head hunger is pushing me to overeat, I simply can't. However, for long-term success, I am still in charge of what goes into my body. I still make choices not to eat calorie-dense/innutritious foods. So I still have to deal with the head hunger and turning to food as a coping mechanism. I still have to make a choice to exercise. Just as it was before surgery...too many calories in/not enough out=weight gain. The sleeve is a wonderful tool, it truly is. Best of luck to you!
