Farcaster 80 Posted January 4, 2017 I'm about six months out and I can't say that I have forgotten about it, but I have definitely gotten used to it. Since I go out to eat for lunch with my coworkers, I've got a consistent reminder since I can't finish most things I order -- sometimes I can finish a cup of Soup. But, it certainly doesn't bother me and the health benefits have been awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaleCruse 756 Posted January 4, 2017 I'm two years past sleeving and I'm aware of it multiple times a day. I can't just carelessly shove food down my throat. I can't chug Water. But I can walk 10k steps a day, run, and most importantly, recognize myself when I look in the mirror. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliminnowp 113 Posted January 4, 2017 At almost 5 months out I haven't forgotten that I have it. (I'm reminded every time I eat a small portion or get full easily, or say no to a sugary carby food) but I am used to it to the point that I don't think about it all the time. It seems more normal now I guess. Sent from my SM-J700P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cassandramarie93 199 Posted January 4, 2017 I'm not far enough out to say for sure. But I think that is the point of doing this is to not forget. This is supposed to be a life time commitment and I hope I never "forget" why I made this choice it'll keep me on track in the long run.
