Ok that makes me feel better

I had my 6 week check up today. I've lost 3 #s in the last month for a total of 30#.

You can see it but others can't. Even when they go to your timeline they can't see it. I've checked through my hubby and my kids' accounts, no sightings at all.

I crave salt so bad that this morning, I sprinkled salt on a plate and licked it off. Really, how insane is that?!

I Am in..Thanks

If you type August Sleevers in the search area of fb it comes up

Joining in late . Sleeved 8/28 down 41 lb... 20 of it pre-op.. Glad I found you guys!

8/14 - I just wanna wake up skinny!

Hi!
I had mine on 08/29! Feeling great now! I actually feel full of energy... I have lost 25 pounds so far. I walk about 30-40 min a day... I'm getting in around 45-50 grams of Protein a day... It's difficult! Enjoying the new me
My multi is kinda nasty to take but I make myself and I haven't really found a yummy Protein shake yet still looking!

Ok cool! So I have to go to website to see them.... I will check it out! Thank you

Tickers are the little charts on the bottom of peoples posts that show there progress. They are only visible on the website not on the apps.

I don't think WLS is a cop out and those who do don't bother me a bit. I don't care if you choose to tell everyone and if someone else chooses to tell no one. It affects me NONE either way. I've never been one to care what other people think because their opinion of me is none of MY business. Your little jabs and insults are meaningless to me as they are much more telling about you than reflective of me.
You don't have to agree with me about anything, but do not put words in my mouth. Never did I say that exercise and diet got me to where I am today. You stated that NO ONE could lose weight as fast as we are now because YOU failed at it and I pointed out that you are wrong. It's possible, it's just really hard to do and even harder to maintain.
WLS won't guarantee a maintain either. Forming good habits now while my tool is most effective is will guarantee my success, and for me, that includes tracking and exercising. If you don't need to do that, that's fantastic!
I have no need to argue with you nor will I. Continue on and I wish you best success on maintaining your loss.

You go, girl!! Your friend sounds a bit green-eyed to me and not much like a friend at all! You don't owe an explanation to ANYONE. Your business is YOUR business and your decision to have surgery was a very personal one.
Congratulations on your 50 pounds lost! You are doing an amazing job!
You are absolutely wrong. I once lost 80 pounds in three months on WWs and exercise and I kept it off for a year. I was eating micro amounts and going to the gym twice a day. There was no way I could maintain that pace (and the hubby knocked me up) but I did do it and I lost a lot faster than I am with the sleeve.
It is not my job or hers (or yours for that matter!) to "inspire" anyone. If it happens, awesome! I would love to think that I could help someone else get healthy but it's not my duty. It's up to each individual to find inspiration in his or herself. I am no more responsible for anyone's weight loss than I am for anyone's weight gain. (Except maybe my husband because he keeps finishing my leftovers.)
I am utilizing a tool that is available to anyone. Even with this tool, I track every bite that goes into my body. I exercise at least an hour a day. I wear a pedometer so I can make sure to get in my steps each day. I make great food choices that meet my nutritional needs and that will help me hit my weight loss goals. Most importantly, I have dropped the excuses and THAT is where I will win.

the worst is from one of my customers, an old Korean lady.."oh, you lose weight, you not so fat like before.. before you was SOOOOOOOOOOO FAAAAAAAT" (complete with hand gestures to illustrate exactly how fat I was.
The best was from my Aunt who is extremely weight conscious. I figured she wouldn't even say anything since I'm still 244 pounds which is unthinkable in her book.. But she absolutely gushed about how great I look and she said that if I continued to lose weight that would be great, but even if I never lost another pound I look fantastic.. then I proceeded to get phone calls from my cousins who called me because my aunt had gone straight home and called them and gushed about how "thin" I was and how great I looked.

Now THAT one deserves a punch to the junk.

Amazing!

Exactly!! Lol maybe next week!

Don't panic! I gained 3lbs overnight at about the same point. It does come off again.

I started puréed. It seems common, it's just very discouraging. :-(

Starbucks passion tea no sweetener hit the spot for me, decafinated and no sugar. Tastes a little herby, but oh so good!

I too was sleeved on 8/29. I have seen some early August sleevers say the third week is always a stall-out, but that after that they start losing again. Good luck, and just keep going
