She didn't weigh that much to begin with, if I'm right - so maybe it's because she had a lower BMI that the loss has been slower? Also, maybe her sleeve size was larger - my doctor did my mom's larger when she had the revision because she didn't have that much to lose.

I say the more the merrier! I hope everyone who wants the surgery will have it. It has changed my life and I can't imagine where I would be right now without it. So Rosie and I had our surgeries around the same time...she didn't let me know :)

Rosie - good for you!

I'm happy for Rossie. Everyone loses differently at different speeds, and maybe she didn't want to be 150lbs. Not everyone's goals are the same and we need to respect that. I think she's doing great and she'll get there if that's where she wants to go. Don't think Its fair to say shes not doing well or what she should be doing. It's a marathon not a sprint. I say good for her.

Whatever like I said it's an observation. I know the diet that I had to be on before surgery was 18-20 lbs. it's just sad that she's only lost 40 in 7 months

Katsmeow wasn't trying to be negative I understood what she was thinking lets be honest a lot of us are prob thinking the same thing but didn't say it.....I pray for a successful weightloss for myself I won't lie If I only lost 40lbs in 9 months at my weight I would prob be upset and question what did I not do right..GOOD LUCK TO ALL ON OUR JOURNEY

IMO its incredibly unfair of anyone to judge another based on how much weight they have lost post op and guess that they must be doing something wrong. I only wish her the very best and welcome her to the community. I think she looks healthy and happy and I'm sure she feels great too. May she continue on her wellness path! If I were someone on here reading through the threads and wasn't "measuring up" to the fast losers or someone else's opinion of how fast I should be losing weight, it sure would not make me feel very good. Even if I was doing all the right things.

As far as Christina I have no idea if she had any kind of WLS. Does anyone have any further information on that? If so that's awesome! :)

So now anyone who loses weight, we'll speculate to have had WLS??

And on this forum of all, you're going to judge 40 pound weight loss as Sad??

a bunch of hypocritical backstabbers some of you are...

Rosie, Gov Christie or just any Plain Jane with similar stars can be lurking here and instead of suggestions, support and empathy, we got a buncha former fatties on their high horses.

Such a shame ....

yeah i agree. i think 40 lbs is great to lose but to be honest Id be a bit upset if i had sleeve surgery and only lost 40 lbs since July. I wonder why she isnt losing more? i guess we all lose differently. it certainly isnt easy.

Some people just lose slowly. I'll hit my three month surgiversary next week and I've lost just over 20 lb. Am I disappointed? Yes, but still...it's a loss. I'm vigilant about calories, but it is what it is. Some of us just aren't ever going to lose quickly...

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
