Here's my question. If you were a terrible dieter prior to the sleeve surgery, How are you doing with your sleeve? What's your prgress? Do you follow your nuts diet or do you eat in moderation?

Personally I was a GREAT dieter! I've been on a million diets all of them lasting 2 weeks to a few months. Hundreds of pounds lost and regained over and over again. I'm so thrilled not to have to diet anymore. Being sleeved is absolutely nothing like dieting. On a diet, I'm starving all the time, now I have to force myself to eat. I'm 5'5" tall, HW 250lbs CW 178.4, sleeved 10/21- 5 months. Getting sleeved is what got me away from dieting.

I was once a terrible yo-yo dieter and I've done almost everything in the book. When I got sleeved, I started this journey with a mindstate that this is not just a diet but a lifestyle change. I think getting sleeved was the biggest incentive because I didn't want to start this journey and bring old habits with me which is why it took me a long time to finally go through with the surgery. I follow my nutritionist's plan and once in a while I'll treat myself to something but make up for it by spending an extra 20-30 mintues at the gym but I do not beat myself up for it, AT ALL! No regrets!

Another thing I do different now is that I have fun when I'm cooking. I used to always stick to salads and the idea of having that for the rest of my life always made me fall off track. Salads are wonderful but I like variety and I don't get bored now because I'm always trying new things and making healther alternatives to foods that I love. As ironic as it sounds, I have a better appreciation for food now than I ever did before lol.

I agree..not a diet..but a way of life ...to eat the rest of your life.. Granted we have to tweak our calorie amounts as we get closer to goal. I started at 400-500 and now at 850 per day ..in taking 80 grams of Protein.
