So it's been just over a yr since I had my sleeve done and it's definitely been the best thing I ever did. I followed the diet as directed and ate what I was suppose to do. I did exercise but could have done more an even though I'm still 30 lbs from my goal I feel that even if I don't lose another 30 lbs I still feel like it was worth it. I have lost 154lbs total as of today an I feel great! Very little loose skin and with some more sit ups and cardio I can and will tone but all in all just overall healthier. No more meds for diabetes or blood pressure. Just high Protein living. ;o) Wishing everyone well on their journey to living healthier!"

Before

384lbs

After

I am a huge fan of the Premier Protein shakes. Easy way to get in 90g a day just by drinking 3 of them. One for breakfast, one for lunch, one for afternoon snack. I always make sure I'm done with supper before 7pm. For supper I eat either eggs, tuna or some type of grilled or baked fish, chicken grilled or baked, I love cheese but you have to watch the calories and portion sizes, I also love some beef jerky cause of the high protein low carbs. I really just focus on my protein and getting in over a 100g a day and minimizing carbs to less than 20g. I keep portion sizes small to 4 or 5 oz max cause I get full fast. I will use my elliptical machine at least 4 times a week for an hour each time but when I started using it I couldn't go 10mins and it took time to build up to an hour. I'm not a super gym rat by any means and could definitely do more but I have been pretty rigorous with my diet. I try to focus on the protein and everything else kinda just fell into place. I have never been a big sweets person but portion sizes was my problem. It really took me mentally making up my mind that I needed to make a life change if I wanted to live a long happy life. The sleeve was the tool that made it possible and has been the best decision I ever made. I call it a tool because it still took me making an effort everyday become healthier.

That's awesome!!!!!! I had mine done two weeks ago and so far so good. You are right about a "life change". Before anybody gets this they need get there mind right, and ready for a different life and life style, not going into thinking that the sleeve is going to fix everything. Like you said "it was tool" to help get you where you are now. The rest is getting your mind in the right place. Thanks for your inputs, very informative.

Thank you for sharing, you look kinda hot I have to say! Im glad to see you were able to lose it by really focusing on your diet, I will be doing the same as my job/lifestyle leaves very limited time for exercise so working my sleeve with the right foods will be goal one for me.
