As long as you are staying on your program and drinking all your fluids you should be fine. As long as your Dr., says your ok just let their comments run off your back. Make sure you get a lot of your Protein in to. I have family members that say oh you've lost so much weight and you don't eat anything at all, are you sure your eating enough, your goning to get sick. I just look at them and say I'm getting enough and tell them my stomach is the size of a banana now so I get enough to eat, snce I told them that they haven't metioned it again.

A lot of folks report this.

I do NOT get this, probably beause of my framed poster that reads "When I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you".

On a more serious note. You do your own research, and Please ask the professionals on your team. Look at the before and after pix, and of course, ask here!!!

I get this and I giggle. But in my head I scream "SHUT THE F UP!"

People tell me I'm skinny now, but truth is, I can stand to lose another 20-30 lbs to get to a "healthy" BMI. I don't let it change my goal. Me and Doc know what's best.

Yeah, people have started telling me I look skinny. What they mean is I look "skinnier" than I used to. I am still only half way.

I got this all the time. In one ear and out the other. They say it less often now that I have put on some muscle.

My date told me my a$$ looked good in my new jeans last night. I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing compliments...even if it is your getting too skinny. It's a lot better than oh you could be so pretty if only.. or but, you have such a pretty face... bring on the skinny talk! :))

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
