Hey 11 days out and I'm having some pretty good mood swings. My husband probably doesn't know what to do with me. Don't get me wrong...he's been great in being my nurse, I'm just having these up and down mood swings. Anyone else?

I'm kidding of course.... Just frustrated. I shouldn't be, but I am.
I am 30 days out tomorrow from being sleeved. I've lost a total of 22 lbs post sleeve. My scale hasn't moved in almost 3 weeks though!!!
I have no right to be upset.... Just tired of getting on the scale in hopes of seeing it move in be right direction but it won't! I'm doing everything to the letter and I'm beginning to get discouraged. I've been tracking my calories every day... Staying right at or just below my calorie budget. I'm getting a decent amount of fluids in (not quite up to 64 oz yet), AND I've been taking the dogs on nice walks every evening!
I'm not looking for major poundage everyday either.... I would be happy if it was only ounces... As long as it was moving!
(sigh)
I've already had all the rational talks with myself about how I'm only 4 weeks out.... And I need to give my body a chance... Blah Blah Blah... I think its everyone at work who have been my cheerleaders thru all of this whenever they see me asking me how many pounds I've lost.... Its so hard to answer them with the same # as it was 2 weeks ago.
Anyway.... I just needed to get that off of my chest. I need to break this stall one way or another!!

Hey there! You can just call me Blossom. I'm 21 years old and I was sleeved on July 2nd! My surgeon is Dr. Neil Floch and he is a God send. Very kind, funny and caring man and I am so grateful that he did my surgery. He made me feel so safe before getting the procedure, if someone else was doing it I probably would have backed out. Hm, I'm not sure what else to write so I'll just say whatever comes to mind.
Being only 4 days out, I am doing surprisingly well. I figured I would have more pain and be this miserable bedridden person, but I’m the exact opposite. I did have very strong pains due to the air they pumped me up with, it was beyond uncomfortable, but that feeling is all gone. That was actually worse than the actual procedure itself. What helped was all the walking I did. A couple hours after surgery and I was already walking around the east and west wing of the 6th floor of the hospital lol
The first day I came home I was weak and tired because I no longer had the IV keeping me hydrated, but now I’m waking up early making sure I take my Vitamins and the right amounts of fluids as well as walking around every couple hours I feel fantastic. A little sore, but fantastic. I can’t wait for finally get out there, work out and live my life the way I was meant to live it. No more couch potato here! Before I was embarrassed, I felt like getting this surgery was the easy way out, but it’s not, it’s a helpful tool and takes a lot of hard work if you want to see real results. Also, I’ve already lost 7lbs! whoot! Lol

Are STALLED, like myself!! That way we can keep each other company before we go bat $h!t crazy!!
LOL
I read ALL ABOUT these stalls before surgery and KNEW I could very well have it happen to me.... but yet I am still depressed and about to pull my hair out since the scale hasn't moved in almost 2 weeks!!!
Lost 30 lbs my first 2 weeks post-op - but now NOTHING the past week and 5 days!!
Anyone want to add????
VENT AWAY!!
