Your doctor is being way too hard on you. I was also sleeved in February (25th to be exact), I've lost 30lbs.
We are all different a lose weight at different rates. Most of my weight loss was before my surgery.
Celebrate your loss! Keep doing what you are doing, its working. Rather than seeing another surgeon, maybe you can start seeing a nutritionist that is familiar with the sleeve. Mine is wonderful and she has never once questioned the rate of my loss and helped me set nutritional goals. Just another option.
Take care. And be proud of your accomplishments.

Your surgeon needs to work on his people skills!!! Dont listen to the advice he gave you that particular day, If you go back to that do ti dos office keep your head up your doing great!

Don't weigh often is my advice. Pick one day a week - wear same clothes, weigh at the same time, if you would like, but don't get on the scale every day...it gives Mr. Scale too much power. Focus on Protein, Water, and exercise - the weight will come off...don't compare yourself to others & don't take what your dr said to heart (she/he may have been having a bad moment & made bad comment)...you can do this! You are doing it...your loss is great!!!
Best of luck to you!!!

I've been researching and I'm so glad to have found this site. The support is fantastic and for this really big decision in my life its a comfort to know I'm not alone.
Tomorrow I will see the surgeon for the first time and hope my journey to surgery will not be to long. Hoping to have it done before years end.

Thanks everyone! I definitely feel encouraged after reading your replies. I'll be searching for a new surgeon.

Those numbers don't sound to bad to me. I was sleeved on Feb 19 at 270lbs and my current weight is 228.6lbs. Sound like I'm on the same track as you. Everyone looses at different rates. Keep plugging along, work your sleeve, it will come off in time.

You've lost 45lbs so be proud of that. As for your doctor, he sounds like someone who really inspires his patients...not. Maybe some of the veterans will chime in because I'm just about two months out and I still don't really know what I'm doing. Be kind to yourself and let things progress naturally. Good luck to you!

Hello everyone,
Just stopping by to post some before and after pics. I'm still 7 lbs away from goal but I'm totally happy I'm not where I used to be. I give all Glory to God because without Him none of this would be possible. It's been a long journey. My advice to those who are just starting would be to hang in there, your day will come. God Bless you all!!!

This is so normal! you've got this........keep it up and look at all the weight you've lost in such a short period of time.>.....

I had the sleeve done on 2/27. On 2/1 I weighed 260 and today I weigh 228. I have not lost weight in 2 weeks. I walk 45 mins 3 x's a week. I have hunger pangs every 2-3 hours and my they are fierce! What's going on...is this normal?.
