I agree.. I haven't seen any type of bullying with the threads I have been reading? I have learned so much from this site and have met a lot of kind helpful people. It made my post op and pre op phases so much easier!! It's hard because there is no voice inflection in typed words and just like text sometimes they are misunderstood. I would certainly hope this is the case.

Mean people suck! But they are out there and sometimes don't even realize they are being mean! Take it with a grain of salt. The helpful kind people FAR outweigh (No pun intended) the mean ones! ; ) I have gotten so much help during my journey on here!! I am so happy I found this site!

People say things bluntly at times. They also sometimes react to a post rather then passing it by or letting them go, particularly the "I cheated posts." If someone is actually concerned about damage to their sleeve, they know to contact a doctor. I feel like most people post those because they either want validation that it's ok or they need a swift kick in the *ss. In case people haven't figured it out yet, you will get both reactions if you post that on here...
As for the other topics that get heated at times, read the responses that are helpful and ignore all the other stuff. That's all you can do. Don't worry about the stuff you can't control.

I haven't seen any bullying either. I've asked numerous questions on here, and always had a positive experience. This is one of the most positive places I've found thus far online for support. YMMV

CW 220 GW 210! Although unrealistically I would LOVE to break past the 200 barrier!! Haha thanks so much Bea for your hard work on this!

I am very proud to have lost the 30 it's just very discouraging when the scale won't move even though I am following all the rules. Thank you for the encouragement! I will try and be more positive!

I was sleeved on 4/23... I have been the same weight for two weeks now!!! Getting frustrated... Anyone have the same issue and what can I do to get it moving again?? Ugh!!!

That's exactly what I wanted to hear. lol

Count me in!! I was sleeved 4/23 and am on a two week stall!! Maybe I can get it moving!! Haha I will post my weight and goal weight on the 30th??? Or do I post it now? Lol

The 3 oz figure is for solid food, and it sounds like you're not at that stage yet. Also, it means 3 oz of solid food taken at one sitting, which means over a 20-30 minute period.
For liquids and pureed foods it is perfectly ok if you can hold more than 3 oz, especially if you sip, sip sip over a longer period.
But you still should talk to your surgeon to clarify the situation in your own head.

Thanks! I'm waiting impatiently!! Hahaha grrrr I'm glad to know its normal though!

No Hair loss here but I'm only a little over a month out. I have been and continue to take Biotin. Not sure if it helps but trying it. Also making sure I get in my Protein. : )

I was sleeved 4/23 and have been on a stall for the last two weeks!! Very frustrating.... But I feel better and that's what matters!! Although I do want to throw the scale out the window every time I step on it.... Maybe it's broke?? Bahahaha hang in there Sleevers.... I hear stalls happen often and it's a way for your body to adjust and rearrange itself before it let's go of any more of it's stored back up weight. Shrug. It's gonna be a roller coaster ride!! I love roller coasters!!! Wooot!!

Eating and drinking was a chore for me for almost 3 months. Now I love eating and make sure every bite is a yummy one. And like hhhappy, I am totally in control now.

It may be because of the kind of food your eating. But get it checked or at least call doc and ask.

I'm six weeks post also. I had 2.5 weeks of the weight loss stall . Didn't do anything different. Now I have loss 2-3 pounds per week . I knew the stall was coming so I didn't let it get to me . Only weight 2x week at most . But the possible Hair loss thing in the next few months is stressing me out .

I think that's my problem... I'm not getting enough protein!! Thanks for bringing that up!! Gonna need up the Protein starting tomorrow!! Still in the soft foods.

Awesome!!! Great job!! Did you encounter many stalls!!!?? I am in one now I think it's so aggravating. Eating next to nothing and no loss? Grrrr keep up the good work! Congratulations on your success!

You go girl!!! I hope I do as well as you!! Congrats and keep up the good work!!

Awesome!! Inspirational!! Thanks for sharing!! You look Fabulous!!

How is everyone doing??? I get to start scrambled eggs today!! Woot! Ran into some issues with a cold other than that I'm doing great! Get to go back to work next week!

Walk walk walk... Sip sip sip!! Watch out if they give you apple juice!! It stings! Dilute it like crazy!! Happy healing and it will all be worth it!!
