Try eating the things your body needs first. Leaves little room for the rest. Dont temp yourself by keeping the wrong foods close and at hand. I keep nuts and when I must have a crunchy snack, I nibble on a few wheat thins. I am only 4 weeks out and thought I would never again enjoy food. Can see thats not the case. I have just started with regular foods the last few days and can see I will be able to eat the regular varity without being sick but I can't hold large amounts. My "full signal" in pain in my stomach. I really dont like full because it hurts, so I'm learning that I dont have to be finished when the rest of my family is finished. Make yourself slow down, even if it means to leave the table for a bit. If eating out, when you order have them give you a to go box. Remove what you know is more than you should safely eat and make another two meals out of it later. This is much too expensive and too much to go through to undo what you have done. Make your portion sizes smaller and eat from a salad plate. I used a baby spoon in the begining to help me gauge better how much a "new" bite was. The sleeve is only a tool and its how you use it that will make the difference. Hang in there, its a journey and still a choice. You can do it.
