I'm about six months out and I can't say that I have forgotten about it, but I have definitely gotten used to it. Since I go out to eat for lunch with my coworkers, I've got a consistent reminder since I can't finish most things I order -- sometimes I can finish a cup of Soup. But, it certainly doesn't bother me and the health benefits have been awesome.

I'm two years past sleeving and I'm aware of it multiple times a day. I can't just carelessly shove food down my throat. I can't chug water. But I can walk 10k steps a day, run, and most importantly, recognize myself when I look in the mirror.

At almost 5 months out I haven't forgotten that I have it. (I'm reminded every time I eat a small portion or get full easily, or say no to a sugary carby food) but I am used to it to the point that I don't think about it all the time. It seems more normal now I guess.

I'm not far enough out to say for sure. But I think that is the point of doing this is to not forget. This is supposed to be a life time commitment and I hope I never "forget" why I made this choice it'll keep me on track in the long run.
