I looked up steatosis and that is fatty liver right? Well duh, I am thinking that we will have that fatty liver until we lose more weight and we are no longer obese?

liver was normal before surgery. Dr said it was from malnutrition. I have got to get more protein/calories in with out burning them all during Cardio.. my weight today is 152 pounds.

I am not sure about my liver lately, but I know back in 2007, I was diagnosed with a fatty liver.

When I had my post-op labs, my doctor knew right away I was not drinking the amount of Water he wants.

What are the labs called (name of test) that check for fatty liver? Is it creatinine?

LFT-liver function test. It checks the AST and ALT

So I have lost about 40lbs total and today in front of like six people someone said, you have lost a lot of weight, and they stood there looking at me. I wanted to run and hide. Took me by surprise and I didn't know what to say. I was embarrassed for the first time for losing weight and not for being fat. I guess I need to learn how to take a compliment in a group setting.

Abs I would have felt more confident if I had your belly band on. What's the tattoo on your ankle? My initials?

She is active on MFP. I think she was disappointed with a stall. She has had to get more active and eat more. She was trying to limit calories, but her body was fighting back wanting Protein and more fluids and activity.

I had my first 4 week checkup yesterday. Down 17.4 pounds since surgery, I was kinda bummed that it wasn't more. He told me to throw away my scale, that I should be judging my weight loss by how my clothes fit and how I feel and that he doesn't pay much attention to the amount that has been lost in a month, he only uses the scale to see a trend.

That is such great advice. I just got through a bit of a stall - I'd not seen a drop for about 6 days. But I could feel my body change, and I actually fit in some pants that I'd not worn in two years. Glad I saved 'em!

Thanks to you guys, I tried a little carb hit and that jumped me out of stasis.

Just went through some family horrors, and am so glad I got sleeved. This is exactly the kind of thing I used to eat my way through, but food is no longer the center of comfort for me.
