Thank you, Tealael and Alex. Alex, would it be possible to remove the two hour time limit for editing posts? I was in a bad mood yesterday and I was running my mouth. I'd like to remove some of the things I said.

So, I'm down about 30lbs and I just bought some new clothes. They're pretty much the same stuff I already wear, just smaller sizes (leggings and a t-shirt). For the first time when I looked in the mirror I was actually able to see my progress. I asked my husband if I looked any smaller and he replied with, "You're new clothes look nice." I didn't ask if my clothes are nice (they aren't nice, it's just leggings and a t-shirt) I asked if I looked smaller. His reply just got under my skin. Later, I asked my mom if I looked thinner and she replied with "yes" without even looking at me (she was watching TV). Then she started talking about herself and how when she loses a few pounds her clothes are just hanging off of her. (Oh, please). A little later my husband approached me and said in a forced tone "Congratulations on going down a size".
I feel annoyed because I do not fish for compliments. I only asked this question because I was finally able to see a change. I guess I was hoping for a more empathetic response.

I'm in Maryland, but I had my surgery in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

I'm one year post op, lost all the weight i wanted to lose and a little bit more, I'm very happy with my results and trying to maintain a nutritious healthy diet. And i think I'm doing well. My only problem is that one hour after eating anything i just feel very hungry, it annoys me so much. I was reading a research about faster emptying time for sleeves. And i think this is the worst side effect i get from this surgery. Constant hunger. I feel so full and in less than an hour I'm starving again. Its difficult to ignore it so i keep munching all the time but i try to watch my calories allover. Its working but I don't want this to continue happening and I'm terrified of regaining weight. Is it just me who feels this need to eat all the time? What can i do about this. My nutritionist doesn't get me, she says my intake is acceptable and I'm not gaining so I'm doing well. But I'm just tired of needing to munch on something all the time!

How about when you do manage to sit in a almost too small chair, you get back up and it makes an embarrassing sucky noise. Happened to me more than once with a plastic one.

I invested in some pretty expensive clothes / coats because I thought i would be that size forever. When I had to give them away I had a small moment when I wished I could still fit them. Other than that no.

Washington,DC here

Rockville, MD here

I had gastric sleeve 9.12.17. Since then Ive only lost 38lbs. Since 12.23 Ive only lost 6 lbs. I exercise 5 days a week, I measure, weigh, log all my food. Im so depressed and I want to cry all the time. I know I feel better and I am able to walk and not have issues. I followed up with dr and nutritionist and they just say follow the program. It will work. Then I was told Im getting too many calories from Protein and to cut a snack. I should only be a 800 calories a day
I workout. They encourage it. 800 calories is nothing and Im burning on average 600 a day.
I just feel like this was the biggest mistake and I will never lose weight. Any suggestions?
Has anyonr else gone through this?

Well husband's can be like that. Had one of them for 44 years.Hmm let's see in his defense:
I tell her she looks nice, she'll counter "Don't I Always?"
I tell her I like the way she looks slimmer, she'll say "Didn't you love me beforehand?"
I say is that new? She'll say" Yes but don't start saying I spent too much money."
I say Looks similar to her other clothes She'll say "Now what is wrong with my style? You always liked it before. "
I say I'm proud of you losing weight She'll say "You weren't proud of me before? What a crappy thing to say."
Guess I'll just sit here in the chair and say "Nice Honey or Mnff "when she asks anything. That way I'm safe!

Also keep in mind that this whole process is hell on our hormones and emotions. Things that might not have even registered to bother you in the past...could make you feel very sensitive now.
There's a whole process of losing a comfort crutch (food) that is a little unhinging. We get a little frayed around the edges.
That being said....your mom could be more supportive, and your hubby could be less oblivious. A pox on both of them! LOLOLOL

I feel your frustration!
Just remind yourself that you do t need external validation from anyone. The key is to be happy within, with you progress and who you are becoming . I’m sure you look fabulous. Keep positive and try not to punch your mum and husband
