Sleeve expectations being realistic



Recommended Posts

I'm new to it all. Two weeks out today. I'm down 22lbs in those two weeks which is great. I feel like a teen again where I could just shed it off if it crept up on me. At 55 it wasn't moving off so well. I thought long and hard about what I was really expecting from this journey. I view the sleeve as a tool. It's only good if you use it properly the rest of your life. It's not a magical tool that solves all my problems. It's during this first year I must educate myself on how to use this tool for life long results. I taught for 25 years I know that there is no easy fix. It still is going to boil down to eating clean and healthy and exercise. I also have to come up with another way to deal with stress factors. Finally I have to rediscover how my body tells me it's hungry or full. What do you expect on your journey?

Aside from losing weight I hope to learn how to eat correctly. So food types/priorities, Portion Control, and listening to my body are goals that I have.
