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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
