I suggest everyone calm down and tame the arguing.
Weight loss is not easy, whether you have surgery or not. There is no one method that works for everyone. Just because something worked for "John" doesn't mean it will work for "Jane". Our bodies are all different, and we cannot and should not compare our losses to anyone else. Look at my stats, and how far out I am, I am one of the slowest losers I know. But that's okay, I am still over 100 pounds down from when I started and still rocking my sleeve. I'm not in this to win a race, I'm in this to get and stay healthy.

This is why I am OVER this forum, some people that reach goal in 6 months think the rest of us are eating twinkies over here! I am so sick of the self righteous folks on this forum that put the "slow losers" down. I bust my butt in the gym before and after my sleeve. NGM mentioned increasing carbs and adding healthy fats not drinking beer and eating bread. People are so insensitive to those if us that have a different journey that may not be as "easy" when the weight doesn't just fall off the instant gratification is not there so choices become even more challenging. This forum is not encouraging at all and only to those deemed as successes. I don't think we need it crammed down out throat every other post how fast someone got to goal. I am so over it.....

I know why I'm slow now and why I am getting a Rny in June. Long story short I need the Rny for the metabolic reset. 6 months only down 35 lbs and not lost weight for 12 weeks and 14 weeks for inches. It is so true that everyone is Different and we all work in odd different ways. After more test then I can count and doing my best and seeing Countless number of specialists I'm ok with knowing why and how to fix it.

To Newgrandmother: why are you so self righteous?
You post on here about OOHH how you are a slow loser, yet when someone(butterbean) who has been VERY successful at weight loss offers their insight you lambast him!! I truly feel sorry for you. I don't think you are eating right(I have read many of your posts) eat way to many carbs and calories and are now way past the 6 month mark. Take advise/criticism as it comes and use it to your benefit or not, but don't lash out at someone who is just trying to help you because NGM you obviously are not RIGHT!

Yeah figures back to 208 So frustrating been the same darn up down 3 lbs sin Jan 8th

I have a Nut Pcp and a surgeon every test that could be done done. My body needs a metabolic reset but happy to know what was wrong and how to Finally fixed it.

I'm not being negative....can't anyone disagree with you? Sheesh you're so friggin sensitive.
So here's some information in case you want it. Adding those healthy fats to your diet flushes out your kidneys. Not a good or bad thing, it just is....that will lead to immediate Water loss which MIGHT explain your 4 pound loss. People who go on high fat diets typically have to up their sodium intake to prevent massive Water loss. That's why people on Adkins can lose so much weight so quickly...and even the new Adkins books recommend adding quite a high amount of sodium to the diet to prevent the water loss.
So my point is if you have upped your dietary fat intake monitor your sodium levels. It needs to go up as well.

Well, at least you got six months without so much hunger! I have never lost the hunger. I was hungry right away after surgery and remain so to this day. It is not just head hunger or the desire to eat. By golly, I'm hungry!!
It seems I eat all day long, and I do, but it's just small quantities of healthy foods, so I am maintaining well. I was just disappointed to have to still deal with so much hunger. But on the plus side, that hunger allows me to live a "normal" life in that I want food, enjoy food, love to cook and prepare food. Could be worse, I guess... could be one of those poor souls who have to remind and make themselves eat.
Sounds like I eat more calories than you do, and you appear to be a good bit taller than I am. But my base metabolic rate is really high, so I have to get around 2100-2200 calories per day to maintain at 165.
Wish I knew how to make the hunger go away!
