Well after celebrating, what do i do?? BINGE! I still do not understand how my new stomach allows this. Disappointed in myself.

Finally, people are really noticing my weight loss. It has been almost 2 months. I really expected the weight to just drop off of me, but That is not the case. I have been working really really hard; it is nice that people are starting to notice. I put on a shirt that was extremely small last fall. Not only did it fit today, it was also loose! I think another two or three weeks may require me to do some shopping! Yippee!!!

Well, I am 6 1/2 weeks out. I have really increased my exercise and today I did 30 minutes on the treadmill most of it in zone two. (I use a heart rate monitor to record my data). I have started noticing I can fit into close one size smaller, and I have a lot more energy! So whether the pounds are coming off or not, I am feeling good about myself and my level of energy!! I weigh in at the doctors on June 3. I don't know whether I am excited about it or not...

I am currently six weeks post op, but only losing a pound a week. I had complications with my surgery resulting in a 10 day hospital stay. Once I came home and shed all of the extra IV fluids, I lost 20 some pounds. However, now it is a painfully slow 1 pound a week average loss. I spoke with my surgeon about my frustration, the obvious negative calorie balance resulting from a drastically reduced caloric intake, And he told me that some of his sleeve patients may be carb sensitive. Have any of you been told you were carb sensitive? I know some people talk about going through phases of not losing weight, but I am truly concerned. I am a band to sleeve conversion patient. The band really did not work for me, and now I'm really fearful that the sleeve will not work either. All I keep thinking is I know I did not have two WLS only to be virtually the same size. Of course, the question from the doctor, nurses, and dietitian is, "have you been working out? " As if that is the reason why my weight loss is so slow. Grrrrrrr....

Again I find myself thinking that this surgery was supposed to be the magic cure. It is not. My weight loss is only 1 pound per week. My diet is high-protein low-carb low-calorie (850 to 1000) and I must exercise often for that 1 pound per week. I see my surgeon every month n my next visit is 6/3. I'm hoping for a grand number. I am 6 1/2 weeks out. Am i the only one like this???
 
I keep waiting for my clothes to fall off of me--some sign apart from a number. But not yet. Only a couple of people have even noticed I've lost anything. I'm very disappointed...
