LipstickLady 25,682 Posted November 23, 2016 Venting here! I had me surgery 9/20/16 HW:240 SW:226 CW:204.6 and I have been working hard to follow the rules. I feel I'm strong and with the sleeve in place I would say I'm doing good. I'm a slow loser but that's ok. With that being said a young lady that I know had the sleeve about a month before me. She eats everything. chips, bread and all. She says she is done losing weight and she is trying not to lose anymore. It really bugs me when if I don't drink enough Water my weight is stalling. How many people are losing too much weight? Sent from my VS985 4G using the BariatricPal App Vent away! Couple of things to think about, though. First and foremost, you've lost 22 pounds in two months. That not a slow loss at all, especially with a pre-surgical loss of 14 pounds! I'd say you are clipping right along at a healthy rate. Second, you are relearning good healthy habits. Your "friend" is still in a honeymoon stage where she is going to lose pretty much no matter what because of her restriction, but her habits lead me to believe that she will be a victim of regain quickly. This surgery is a great tool for restriction and gives you an excellent platform to change your habits and your mindset about eating. If one doesn't choose to do that, there is a good possibility they will fail their sleeve by eating around it. Don't worry about her. You do you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And she says she's lost all the weight she wants/needs to lose? Wow! That seems crazy to me. Good for her, I guess. However, I am like almost everyone else who replied and feel she may be in for an unpleasant surprise in a few months. Keep up your good work and you will reap the rewards!

rebecca wills 190 Posted November 24, 2016 I think your venting about me. I'm craving salt I think. I eat 5 bites and I'm full. Sick of Protein shakes. Seems like chips go down easy and satisfy the crunch factor. I have celiac so bread is off the table. I'm 20lbs away from goal. Surgery 6/30 my night snack is ice pops. I can't do dairy either.

AlbaGuBrath 112 Posted November 24, 2016 Hi sleeve twin...I was the 20th September too It's not about the losses just now, but a year and a half down the line she will start to regain the weight while you, with your changed habits will keep it off. Keep that in mind when she 'shows off' about eating all the crap that got her fat first time round...it will do the same again, she just doesn't realise it yet. I am having MASSIVE stalls, but losing inches. Dig out your tape measure! Xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
