    Malesha, I'm Pat, I was sleeved 3 years ago. Congratulations on your loss so far! Truth is, with the sleeve we can eat just about anything we want, just not in the amounts we used to. There are only a couple of things my sleeved tummy just doesn't like, so like everyone else I have to make good choices daily, and for the most part I do. For me it's all about getting the rest of my weight off and keeping it off so that is what keeps me making those good choices. And yes, I am 3 years out and not to goal. Part of it is that I started at 386, so to get to goal is a 226 pound loss, that takes time. Part of it is also that I lose slowly, stall often, and do not exercise regularly. But I'm not ready to be done yet, so I'm still working the plan, forcing myself to exercise and still losing, slowly but surely.

    My food log is open to my friends if you want something to look at for food ideas.

    Hang in there! This is a great tool. Figure out what you need to be eating, use the tool and you will get where you want to be.
