So far I have lost 61 pounds. I was sleeved on 2-10-12. My biggest concern is that I can't take anti-inflammatory meds any more and I am in terrific pain from my back and a bad knee. Oh well, guess I have to take the good with the bad.

2 Ounces? Are you serious? There is no way you can be complaining about gaining 2 ounces. If you have a scale that is that accurate that you can determine if you gain 2 ounces, send it back to NASA. They will need it to weigh fuel for the next space mission. Seriously hun, if you are gaining 2 pounds every week, then you should be concerned, but 2 ounces, Come on, lighten up. You really got to be more patient in the process.

This is my first post. Today I am 26 days post-op. I guess I have been lucky. I have had very little post-op pain, no nausea, and very little noticeable hunger. I lost 10 pounds one week before surgery on my pre-op diet and have lost 25 post-op for a 35 pound total loss. I guess I should be happy about it but I really feel something is falling apart. I have never really felt any great restriction in my sleeve. I have been able to drink almost normally since about week 2 post-op and have really just controlled the amount I ate by following the guidelines of what I should be eating. Whats bothering me is now my hunger level is creeping up. Today I have been starving and obsessing on what other mushie food I can eat to try to get, not full necessarily but just some satisfaction. I am still eating small amounts but compared to some of the amounts that I have read others are eating at this juncture of the weight loss journey, I feel my sleeve is much looser that most of you all. Does anybody else feel like their sleeve is less restrictive than they had imagined? I should have probably lost more weight by now but with the inability to feel the restriction I had hoped for and due to the fact that I currently need a knee replacement, I am not able to walk or exercise very much at all. Has anyone had a similar experience. I am beginning to feel like .Oh no!, I will be the one idiot to fail at the thing. Any body got any suggestions? url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wYfRSU7/]
