hi Ninjagogo i think your dr is "NUTS" Why would he be pessimistic? doc telling you he doubts you can lose more weight?? you can only get an A- ,??? don't even try for an A+ i saw your post from yesterday - you are doing great "we" usually say "always listen to your doc not this time my friend! hmmmm - maybe not in this case keep your spirits up and #s down!!! go for the gold!! kathy Congrats

i burp/hiccup other way i know when i'm full.... hubby yells from other room "oink oink, piggy wiggy"!! kathy

hope it's ok for me to jump in here too? I was sleeved December 2011 loosing 10 lbs a month is average/normal/good some people et al will loose more weight, or less. Never, ever, ever or ever compare yourself to other OP. Won't hep you, and might make you sad or disappointed try eating 6 small meals daily - ie shake, yogurt, etc. You MUST measure all food/liquids!! whatever your NUT tells you to eat any time period (2-3 ounces etc.) follow her directions ONLY.. if you are ge tting full, s top ea ting. my doc told me "to eat til i'm full, then stop 2 bites earlier80% refers to eating less calories, and about 20% exercise. Exercise is great for your spirits and metabolism (msp) tracking ALL your food is great/important (most OP use MFP) My Fitness Pal. you work with the sleeve, and it will work with you!! good luck to all i know you can do it kathy
