    I have to lose 77 lbs to get out of being medically overweight. I don't think that's such a small amount that this plateau should be happening. When I was on my pre-op diet' date=' I lost 5 lbs a week. I am feeling really cheated and ultra-sensitive and negative. I look on this site alone and everyone's bio says that they lost 10-15 lbs their first few weeks out of surgery. I realize there is no going back and I just have to get used to it, but I was looking for some peace of mind, someone to tell me that they are now the weight they want to be and they lost weight as slow as molasses in the beginning too.[/quote']

    Pink - I am so sorry - I know there are many posters on here that have been having problems with depression after sleeve -

    So - let's try again :). Are you getting in all your liquids and Proteins? Are you able to work out yet? Maybe it's due to the fact you did so well pre-op that your body is in that fighting stage right now where it doesnt want to let go of the fat? And sometimes I've heard it said when you have less to lose that it goes a little slower.

    Wow - okay - first thing you need to do is pull yourself up out of the pity party. And I apologize, I hate to be mean and don't want to be insensitive. But you need to get a hold of yourself sweetie! This is a TOOL to help you loose the weight. Everyone looses at a different pace - and keeping yourself positive goes a long way in helping with that. All that being said, are you getting in the required liquids, Protein, etc? If you are and you are getting some good walking in, etc. The weight will start to come off. And 17 pounds is nothing to cry about!! Your attitude right now may be part of the problem. I'm so sorry you are having such a horrible time with this - but try to get yourself together and follow your eating plan to the tea - exercise and you will start to see the weight drop off.

    Way to go Tibby :-) can you share some of your will power and strength? Lol

    You bet!!! Sending you the will power and strength at this very moment. I think much like weight loss - if we work together through this - we can make it. Shame to go to all this trouble to be healthy and then continue to smoke. And my husband smokes as do many of the people I work with. I'm not going to let that detur me :)

    I am/was a smoker. I haven't had a smoke since Tuesday - and don't really want one. I have my e-cig but right now not using that either. After 30 years of smoking a pack a day - I've decided to become a quitter :). Why not - I've become a looser might as well be a quitter too! Lol
