The annoying new habits that came to be with my sleeve...
My ass fits in all those places so much better also! The only problem I'm having with my ass is instead of having junk in my trunk, I now have a Shar-pai butt. It's all wrinkled and saggy, but it does fit in a size 16.....

Help...having regrets
Sounds like you are in the 3 week stall. It to shall pass! I am a really slow loser, so twenty lbs sounds GREAT! I suggest making sure you chart your weight, mine goes up and down and all over the place. I know I lose slower partially because I was a band to sleeve conversion. I'm eating less, but not a lot less. It's frustrating, but I AM LOSING! Here is a shot of my last 3 mos. Good luck!

How much do i weigh?
Actually I did want everyone to guess. The 3 were all taken the same week at 203. I noticed how much heavier I looked with the frumpy brown big shirt on so I was wanting to see if people guessed the same or different weights. I keep trying to stress to people to not wear their big clothes just because they can.

How much do i weigh?
So just a little social experiment here.... So at my highest I was around 306, I'm now 203. So how much do you think I weigh in each picture. Left to right, top row and then bottom.

Sleeved 7/31 and i have only lost 18 pounds
I think a lot of us revisionists lose slower than the rest because think about it are we eating huge plates of food? Thousands of calories a day? NO we are not. Even if you didn't have good restriction with your band you did have restriction. So in my case instead of 3/4-1 cup of food, I can eat 1/2 a cup. That is a 25-50% reduction, and don't get me wrong that's huge! But nothing compared to others that were eating 2 plates at a sitting! We ARE going to lose slower in most cases. Also some of the excitement is not there of the first time!

Smooth Move Tea
Used smooth move in the past with no issues. Something else I have found is that when I consistently have a Greek yogurt just before bed I stay regular also.

BCBS Federal in Texas (Basic or Standard better?) Lap Band to Sleeve Revision
Sorry missed this. Yes, I got the sleeve. It will be 5 mos on the 29th. I'm a slow loser, (28lbs) but I think that is a couple of reasons. My body was already used to smaller portions, and also the excitement of your first time is not there. BUT I am losing. How do I describe the difference between the two.... With the band if it was tight I could sometimes use tricks to get the food down into the lower stomach, or slider foods I could just keep eating. Now when I'm full I'm just full. Even with sliders. A couple of months ago I had a piece of cake, with the band it would have just filtered thru and I would/could have eaten the whole piece. With I sleeve I ate 1/4 was stuffed and could not have fit anymore in for hours. Personally I had complications from the band, but after that no problems. Can eat and drink anything, dumped twice once was my fault. At my sisters and didn't realized they had switched to fresh organic whole raw milk. 4 Protein shakes later my body rebelled!!! Lol! Boy those Protein Shakes were good! The other time was a Frapachino at Disneyland, combined with a new medication and a little dehydration. Not a good combo. As you can see there is probably a reason why I lose slow, but I refuse to not live. I still track everything even when I indulge. Good luck!
