So I see Rosie Odonnell had the sleeve done. I was surprised she hasn't lost that much weight, 40lbs. They say the surgery was like in July of last year? I don't know. In how successful this surgery is she would have better numbers.

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

I won't say anything negative about her situation maybe she didn't change her habits or maybe she is stressed...I am just hoping for a successful journey.

Absolutely! I wish her and any WLS patient success. Why the negativity?

I am happy for Rosie, she took the path that we are all on. Bravo to her for making her life a healthy and happy one for her and her kiddos. As for Xtina, oh yeah she had vsg done.. I hope my vsg lets me look that good!!

HSWF!

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!

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.

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...
