I eat oatmeal everyday. I love it.

I lost 171 pounds. I feel okay but now everyone thinks I look sick and have anorexia. It's amazing and drives me nuts. I was 271 and now go between 98-100 depends on the day. My sleeve was Oct 2012 and I lost the majority of the weight the first year and have been maintaining current weight for almost a year now. It's funny because now clothes don't fit me - 00 too big and it makes me a little sad because I used to never be able to get clothes when I was a size 24/26.

That's what I said but my doctors want me to be at least 110. My blood pressure is super low now but I think it's just because I work out a lot, etc. trying to get up to 1500 calories but it is very hard with the sleeve to eat and drink all day long.

I have lost 171 pounds and for the past year been told by every doctor that I am now way underweight. So scared to eat more and gain any weight back. I am now around 99/100 pounds. Anyone every have this issue? My doctor says it's very rare. Help!!! So afraid to see the scale go back up.

You look amazing. Congrats.

My doctor cleared me yesterday for plastics and gave me a referral. I have a consultation on Monday. I will be 8 months out next week. I'm 3 pounds from my goal weight. I wouldn't do it in the summer but goal is the fall.

He does allow it now but not in the beginning. I have been eating it the past week as a liquid.

I'm not crying or whining...just your comment to loosen up a bit because I will have better results in the long run. Loosening up a bit got me in this position. Good luck in your journey as well.

Here you go.

They seem interesting. Anyone try them yet?

Starting my maintenance phase today. Nervous, excited, scared to try new things.

My doctor said it doesn't help.

Thank you although I think the camera adds a few pounds. Lol.

I posted a pic. Lol

With before and after pic

Yes I did!

People only seem to want to hear yes you can have this, yes you can cheat, yes, yes, yes. If you say no or give your opinion it starts a whole, often nasty debate.

I agree with you totally. I was sitting in the waiting room at my doctors last month and this patient was like do you cheat? Then another patient asked me the same thing...come on tell me you cheat. I said no I don't cheat. If I cheat it defeats the whole purpose. These two patients couldn't believe I was ever "fat" as they put it. The nurse got so annoyed and said "actually she has lost over 100+ pounds in 6 months. It makes me so sad that people want to find a way to "cheat". Cheating got me to 271 pounds and now I'm under 140 in 7 months. I don't want to cheat...I don't think it's worth it anymore. I didn't have major surgery to alter my insides to cheat with soda.

What did your doctor or NUT say? Did they give you a plan? Every doctor is different.

My doctor said no soda ever but everyone is different v
