That's funny because I thought you were acting all high and mighty! I didn't say I thought I was going to drop 5 pounds a week. I said I am happy as long as I don't gain or go down. How you read things is apparently completely different than how I write them. And I said I appreciate your opinion and asked you to appreciate (or you could at least respect) mine. But I guess you can't do that and have to try and make me feel bad about how I am. There is some amazing advice on these forums and I completely appreciate it, but I definitely don't appreciate being made to feel bad on these forums when I offer my opinion. Advice is one thing, but how you write seems like a put down to me.

You know you gain sometimes too, right? And sometimes the scale doesn't move for weeks at a time? I can already tell you're going to let the scale dictate whether you feel successful or not. Be careful. That's a slippery slope..... Weight loss with WLS is funny. It's not as Fluid and consistent as you think it's going to be. Our bodies are constantly adjusting to the abnormal lack of calories, and it causes some really strange stuff to happen. One thing I've learned in the almost 20 months since surgery is that it's DEFINITELY not as simple as calories in/calories out. It's a constant balancing act trying to figure out the proper protein/fluid/movement ratio to lose consistently. And now in my case, to maintain. Just sayin. Just sayin...how can you tell anything about me? Everyone is different. What helps some people doesn't help others. Although I appreciate your opinion maybe you could appreciate mine too.

Love seeing the pics! Thank you for sharing!

You shouldn't have to restart. I gained two pounds with no repercussions. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
