angry got a reaction from Mkak in Sleeved 8-14-13 and lost, then gained, then lost, then gained 4 lbs. HELPPPPP
I was sleeved on 8/16 and I am having a similar experience. While I agree that it is frustrating, I think it is completely normal. While the big losses in the beginning are great, they do not typically continue indefinitely. Your body is healing and changing. It tries its best to hold onto weight because it hates you (really because it thinks theres a famine lurking behind every corner). If you are eating good things, drinking enough Water, and sleeping (this is my problem) the weight loss will start again. I think it is easy to get discouraged when you look at these boards and see people that have lost 250 lbs in 3 months, but you dont know their weekly breakdowns. Im pretty sure when you go to see your nutritionist she wont be worried about it, but will be excited about your total loss since surgery, I believe this is how they gauge progress. My aunt went to to the nutritionist yesterday and she has lost 19 lbs since surgery, they were proud of her. I have lost 26 lbs since surgery but keep going between 292 and 293, I dont go back to the Dr. until 10/15, irrespective of the fact that I would like to be at goal already, Im fairly confident that I will have lost additional weight by then (even if I have to resort to cutting some of it off) I will feel that I should have lost more, and the nutritionist will think that Im doing great. I think most of us have been fat for so long that we want to be skinny yesterday and thats just not how it works, unfortunately. Also I have noticed that for whatever reason my body likes to be around 295 lbs. Its not my preference, but I always get stuck right around this weight for a point when I am losing weight. It doesnt matter if I exercise, It doesnt matter if I eat 200 calories a day, I just get stuck, but eventually, if I dont give up, I get past it. You will too, and 6 mths from now youll be down 300 lbs and we wont be able to get you to stop posting risque photos

angry got a reaction from mylifeinpink in Does anything know about death in Mexico.
I dont have any idea of whether or not this happened, but I would like to offer some unsolicited advice. If you are getting your surgery anyway, dont bother looking for any additional information, it will only worry you. I read the complications boards on here and almost gave myself a panic attack leading up to the surgery, and for what? I was going to do what I was going to do. I understand making an informed decision and knowing all the facts but you said that you have already made your decision so at this point Im not sure more information will be a good thing.

angry got a reaction from JudyMay14 in Putting my affairs in order......
nope it is surgery and things can happen. i was terrified, crying and writing letters to my loved ones just in case. if you believe in prayer do it, it helps, if not try to meditate and focus on positive things, dont put any negative vibes out there that something can or will go wrong. also remind yourself that worrying is a waste of time, ultimately it will have no impact on the outcome.

angry got a reaction from ElyQuint in Scared this might be a mistake
im not sure exactly what your concern was but honestly one of my biggest concerns were things that convinced me i needed to get the surgery, like can i eat ____ (insert your food of choice here). me and food had a real serious relationship, and while i had dated diets and exercise, i always found my way back to food in the long run. since i had to eat to live, i could never fully end our relationship, but since getting the sleeve i feel like it is so much less dysfunctional.
