Is the gastric sleevve just an enforced forever diet?
Oh, surgery is a tool the solution lies in you making the right decisions, following your plan and staying consistent with your exercise routines. Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

Is the gastric sleevve just an enforced forever diet?
I'm not two years out but I think what happens is you have to relearn what your body can tolerate. I feel the signs of being full now, I eat what I want, including going out (not including fast foods or high sugars) but after a few bites my body tells me I'm done. If I can't have it, I look for proper substitutions i.e., halo top ice cream instead of regular ice cream. I was afraid of FOMO but it has not been an issue at all since surgery. Good luck!

Two month post op check in
I met with my team yesterday and they are very happy with my progess. I'm down 64 lbs. At 8 weeks. Doc said I'm at 35% when most of his patients are at 20% after 8 weeks. His words "you're crushing this"! Its motivating to know I'm doing everything I can to get and keep these results. A few recent NSV's = running 22 min straight, bending over to tie my shoe, glowing skin and overall wellness. To those just starting, its a long journey but will be worth it. Those in the thick of it, keep going. And those who continue to maintain - keep inspiring! Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

Just keep running....toward your goals!
Today I ran 16 minutes! Like, I ran ran. Training for a 5k. Completed week 5 day 2 of training tonight which called for two 8 minute runs. It feels good to be active again. Also, I was recently able to slip on a size 16 dress (down from a size 26) in about 8 weeks time! Keep running toward your goals and crush them!
