One year and 3 months later

Just checking in with an update since I will start the next leg of my journey. I had lost 70lbs but I have gained back 10. So here's the thing..... I can eat with no frikin problem!!'. Meaning I can eat whatever I want !!!!!!! Damm near like I never had anything done. At first I couldn't for about 6 months, but then it was like stomach said let me free!! I will also say that weight didn't just fall off. I was on a serious diet and crazy ass work out plan. I ate almost no carbs I mean no sugar milk. No alchol. Nothing that freaking taste like anything except jerk chicken without skin and cabbage. I worked out everyday twice a day. But let me tell you this the moment I stopped working out and started eating freaking bread????. It was over. This winter weight gain is no joke. I have gained almost 15lbs. So I back to the gym. Don't be fooled into thinking this sleeve will stop you from over eating forever because it won't. You body learns how to trick it. I will eat till full them in 5 or ten min I'm not full and can eat again dammit. So ther e it is. This sleeve is just a tool. That is my opinion. Sleeve only works awesome until your stomach heals, and that is about one year!! After that YOU have to watch it big time because your ass can eat again with no problem. Im finally ready to get Lipo and bbl and breast lift since my boobs look like deflated airbags since I lost weight. I am very thankful for my sleeve. It has got me this far. And would still recommend my surgeon!!! Will be starting new review for lipo. Bbl bl!! Hope all is well!!!

It will be four complete weeks tomorrow!!

Tomorrow marks the completion of four weeks for me!!! I'm have lost 24 pounds!! My pants have officially gone from looking painted on to just tight!! This has been a great learning experience. I really understand now that this sleeve is only a tool. It only controls how much I can put in at once it is up to me to decide what goes in. So far thank God I have not gotten sick off eating anything. I am really watching my carb intake like a beast. And I am up to about 50 ounces of water a day. Drinking water is hard!! I count crystal light as water don't know if I'm supposed to. My little trick for myself is I eat with a shrimp fork! I keep one with me at all times. It's the perfect size bite for me. Oh and I walk 3 miles everyday can't wait to start working out!! Good luck all!

I know this sounds crazy and gross !!

Ok I know this sounds crazy but I feel like I can tell the truth on this forum. One of my guy friends callede yesterday like I'm on town let's go out. I'm like ok I'll come pick you up. So last night we go out to eat????????. I just could not tell him I had surgery!!! So my dumb ass was packing food in the corner of my mouth like a chipmunk then fake sneezing and spitting it in a napkin. I know it's gross but I didn't know what else to do!! Some of it went down and my stomach hurts not bad but if feels like a rock is siting in it. I know that was gross beyond gross and I don't even know if I played it off well at all. I was fake drinking and pouring it on the floor. A whole mess!!!! And I am
Paying for it now!! Is it ok to take like smooth move tea? I'm sorry for grossing you guys out but I did
Not know what to do or how to handle resturants :(. Do you guys tell everybody you had surgery? Do you just sit there and watch them eat and smile. Do you not go out?
