  1. Hello ladies! I was sleeved on 8/22. I'm 6 weeks post op down 30 pounds... I'm am what u call a slow but steady looser. I'm very happy about it cuz it gives my body time to adjust... One thing I can tell you is that if you don't give ur body the proper nutrients like your Protein Shakes and your Vitamins, ur not going to loos any fat, what you will start to loos is lean muscle which will make your skin sag... You will be weak and your body will ache.... Plus is you don't take your Protein you are doubling your chances of loosing your HAIR.... Now saggy and bold is not a good combination... We are young!!!I encourage you, if you took the big step to health and got sleeved, take full advantage of the opportunity that others wish they could have.... Don't just eat anything. The sleeve is a tool, not a bypass. Eat and drink your protein it's VITAL for your body.... I hope you find this helpful..... God Bless!!! :*
