Good points! My mother has been my #supporter so it threw me when she said it - out of love of course! I have to support the fact I am changing & my family is going through this journey too. Will I always have my defensive 'wall of fat' up?

I was sleeved 6/26/14 & down 35lbs. I know I could probably lose more if I did more exercising than just walking. I isn't mean to get defensive when she said what she thought but I did. How am I to handle this in the future? I have followed my plan....

'Consumed most calories at night'

This has been the hardest week so far. I was sleeved 6-26-14 am down 32 lbs and at a stall. I know stalls are to be expected. I am more afraid that now I am eating solid foods that I am causing the stall & possible weight gain in the future. I eat the right foods but the last 2 days I ate a bigger portion at dinner time. I a one who used to eat the majority of food/calories at right. I am terrified I will get back into that habit. I was so hopeful until ow that I could control my new way of eating but not so confident now. Help!

When you no longer dread sitting in a booth at the restaurant!

Thanks! Your suggestions lined up with what i thought. Sometimes we just have to post some up close & personal topics to get true feedback!!

Oh,and I'm 32 lbs lighter ..sleeved 6-26-14.

Sorry for some reason I can't see how I type on new topics.

I've gotten a rash on each side under my breast recently in belly button due to button in pants sits there ow & under my 3rd belly (lol) ...any suggestions? I was daily & apply a & d ointment it need something to make it go away!!

I was at creamed soups on my 2nd week. But I would be more worried about why you jumped ahead. Remember its only for a short time your on liquids. You CAN do this! Get back on track and follow your plan. You'll do great!

I'm more of a meat & potatoes foodie but was craving something sweet. I did not want sf fudge pop, yogurt or sf pudding. I've followed my plan exactly and can now have basically any food tolerable. I just didn't know how to feel after the half of nutty buddy. I accounted for it on MyFitnessPal though! Still managed to be under 70 carbs so guess I'll be okay.But do not plan to make it a habit! Thanks for encouraging me even on the small stuff!

Just had a half of nutty buddy and feel guilty. Its my first sweet treat that wasn't sugar-free. I'm 44 day post op and 32 lbs down. Just need reassurance I'm OK.

I would like to take occasional dose of IBU for my joint pain but don't want to irritate my sleeve. 44 days post op & still only doing light walking for exercise - would like to do more but hurt to much. Has anyone started taking IBU again & how is it working for you?

No, I haven't heard or read about this but hope it's not true! I've only heard most people will have acid reflux but so far I've not experienced that. Congrats on your success!

I believe one of the biggest and best things to have is a great support group - you can't have one of those alone!
