The Sleeve only gives you a short window to change your eating habits before regain is a possibility. At Six months out I thought I had it mastered and could introduce small amounts of Carbs and Sugar back into my diet but Once a month turns into once a day and then you find your self on the road to where you started. I have faith in you and Hope you realize that no food tastes as good as being Healthy. This is just my Personal experience but it is one that I see posted on this forum day after day. I fight regain daily and have come to realize that I have to keep choosing Healthy over that warm fuzzy lethargic feeling that comes after I have ate something that I know I shouldn't.

NEVER EVER EVER go to the Grocery store when you are 3 days in to your pre-op liquid diet. My preparation left a lot to be desired. I decided that starting my liquid phase 4 days early was a Great idea lol. They almost had to mop up the drool on aisle 9. I wasn't even obsessing over any of the wrong foods but those Rotisserie Chickens were calling my name laying there looking all Sexy. I am Thankful to say that I survived and left the Store felling like Conan The Barbarian all Rough, Tough and Victorious.

Now sitting at 18 months out I realize that for my body Carbs are my Mortal Enemy. The Sleeve will trick you into thinking you got this and just a little cheating is fine but I can promise Sugar is more Addicting than Crack (Well not that I have tried Crack LOL). I hit a little Speed Bump in my Weightloss but I'm Back on the Wagon and setting a new set of Goals. I have walked to many miles to GO BACK!!! I want to encourage everyone considering the Surgery or that has recently had it done that you have made the first step of a Great Journey now just stick to the Path and keep picking yourself up when you Fall Off!!!

I am 12 days from my one year Surgiversary and I tell you it is as hard today as it was a year ago. I have finally admitted to myself that I have a food Addiction Duh I know right. I always thought that I could quit anytime I want but now I find that I have to adhere to a Schedule. So now its 3 small meals and one afternoon snack. Stay away from the Carbs and the Sugars and Cheat Days turn into Cheat months for me, so its better just not to do them. I am still a work in Progress.

I really want to Thank Everyone for being so responsive and thoughtful with their replies. In the coming years you will see many posts from me, most will be written with humor but based on true emotions. I have rode the weight rollercoaster for the last 44years and now it's time to use the tools I have been given and put them to use. As we say in the South "'Hold My Protein Shake And Watch This"

The weight loss and Beauty in a Box ( Just For Men Beard Die) have helped me to go back in time by a couple of years and it feels Great.

This is the Macros chart I use. Lookup your height and it will give you a goal to shoot for. I have been able to loose 73lbs. Pre-op and still have 12 days to go but now I am on strictly liquids. Letting the carbs go is hard at first but it's what has given me the Best results.
