Here I can help you feel I bit better about your "slow" losses. I was sleeve 10/1 and down 44lbs.......you have lost at a really great speed. Don't be too down about it.

Edit double post

Hungry today! WTH!!!

I am 38 as well and we want one more. My doctor said 18-24 months after. I think we will start trying at around 12-15 months. It is middle ground and not sure how long it might take. I had my first at 30 and that was a bit ago.

Wish we could! LMAO!

Anyone NOT have reflux, but after the surgery developed moderate to severe reflux? Did it go away at some point? Anyone HAVE reflux prior to surgery, but it got better after surgery? And at what point?

My waist and thighs. Hips and ass ain't moving!

Good for you! I was not drinking that and probably won't today. Maybe 90...,

Are you all drinking the 128 ozs?

THAT IS AWESOME AND HAS ME GEARED UP FOR TODAY!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! (CAPS FROM EXCITEMENT FOR YOU) I am starting my day off with some 2.5 oz of salmon. I will have some 100 cal pack of almonds for snack. lunch will be 110 calorie pack of tuna with some spinach dinner will be 3-4 oz of steamed shrimp and spinach Depending on what the calories look like I may have a half of chobani for snack. My coworker brough me some from the USA! It is like a taste of home. So happy. Have a great boot camp week! Let's rock it out!

I am gonna join in for this week. I am starting tomorrow. I need to lay off the crackers!

This^^^^^^^^ I am glad everyone thinks "this" is so easy! I still fight for my weightloss and if I f-up the scale reminds me. It is still a challenge after surgery and is not a cure for fatness. If not used correctly one can fail. I think it is horrible that her friend is being down right disrespectful.

Wow, some friend. To me she sounds very jealous. She is hating that you finally made this decision. I think it is totally not cool that she even has her daughter calling you that! My daughter is seven and she doesn't even know I had WLS. You may just need to tell her that her support is not needed and her opinion not welcomed. Please do not let this one person make you doubt your decision. WLS is not an easy decision. If you are any thing like me you beat yourself up without needing outsiders beating you up. Good luck and congratulations!

Not really after photos but almost midway to goal.

I say I am slow by forum standards, but according to doc and nut I am where I need to be. I work out 5/6 days a week some days I eat 40 carbs some days I eat 80. Some days my calories are less than 800 somedays they are near 1000. I think what people need to remember is our journeys are all individual. I am pleased with MY progress and that is all that matters. Of course the post with someone saying they loss 50lb in 3 months gets attention because pre sleevers hope that will be them and post sleevers are wishing that was them. It just creates a vicious cycle of disappoint. I am not saying that person should not post their success , but people should be realistic and need to understand this process is different for us all. I stopped hanging around the boards because other people's whining about their slow weight loss had me doubting myself!

Best wishes today!

5'5 Starting weight 266lbs Size 20/22 pants 18-20 top Surgery 10/1 Current weight 224 Current size 16/18 pants 14/16 top I am a "slow loser" by forum standards, but my percentages are normal according to my dr and nut. I am almost half way to goal or 50% loss.

I was about 3 months out.

Congratulations on your success, you look amazing!

You look great! Congratulations!!!

I have whole wheat pasta once and I was 4 post. I did not imply in my post that it should be rushed. I answered the part of the question is there anything wrong with it. The poster did not indicate how far post op she is. Why does everything on this forum have to turn into a debate? You answered your way I answered my way.

My Nut wants me eating pasta and rice, brown of course, they are great complex carbs. I see nothing wrong with it. My sleeve has tolerated everything.
