Hey friends , how would I know if I've ruined my sleeve and it's not gonna be effective any more for me ? I need to get with the program I know. I've gotten off my protein shakes and it's messing w me bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You really can't ruin your sleeve. How far out are you? If you are no longer restricted to liquids you can get along fine without those darned Protein drinks. Just have some eggs, meat, cheese, and especially fish.

First there is needed information. When was your surgery? If you are early out and you ruin your sleeve, that means a leakage of some kind and reporting to the ER. Depending on stage. If you are saying you have not been getting your protein, then start getting it (Protein drinks are not necessary). Protein comes in all forms. Some of us just supplement with protein drinks. If you feel like you need to add them back in, then the call is yours.

No, you can't "ruin" your sleeve, but you can "ruin" your ability to be successful by not utilizing it properly.

The sleeve is just a tool. You gotta do the work for the sleeve to work for you. Not the other way around.

Ok thanks to all. I had my surgery on 10/13/15 I'm on pretty much anything now by Drs orders. I'm eating pretty good for my new self and I'm excercising Just not seeing weight loss like I thought I would.

I've been drinking a ton of water if that helps

If you're not tracking your calories, carbs and Protein, I would suggest starting. That way you know exactly where you stand. At a 2.5 months out, you should be having nothing but protein and veggies. You should try to be getting at least 65-70 grams of protein, less than 50 grams of carbs, and be around 700-800 calories. Sounds like you're getting your water in just fine, but try to get at least 64 oz.

Hope that helps get you back on track!
