This is what I have learned over the past 6 years post op!
Your sleeve is a tool. It's not the end all. You must watch what you eat. I was horrified that I had lost weight from 213 to 162 lbs and then went back up to 195 (July 2018) Currently, I am at 169 lbs (01/05/2019) and more fit.
When you are able to eat solid food, I recommend a group on Facebook called Push For Your Better by Amy Smith. I am still a sugar/carb addict. This is the main reason why I gain weight. Fat bombs are truly the bomb and a life saver for me. Healthy fat is the key to weight loss (grass fed butter, MCT oil, advacados, etc). Too much protein can act like carbs and gain weight eventually. I have no excess skin (no surgeries), tone, and look 15-20 years younger than my actual numerical age.
It's a blessing that I have better portion control, but found that you can still gain a lot of weight after the sleeve. Eat wisely, exercise, and know I support you!
Be blessed and you'll love your new adventure. I NEVER REGRET MY DECISION FOR THE VGS!!!
