Don't like it either. Too many bugs.

It's hard not to be the scale's slave. I am always hopeful when I get on the scale in the morning. If its not what I wanted, I'm pissed . Need to put that sucker away

Laura-ven, I have another 200 pounds to lose though. I just don't see how it's possible to lose that in the next 18-24 months.

I had a follow-up appointment with my doctor and NUT today. I am 3 months post op. my NUT said I can expect my weight loss to slow down now that I've hit the 3 month mark and could expect 1 pound a week or so. She said most sleeves reach their goal in 18-24 months. If I only lose a pound a week or so, I'll be a whole lot longer than that. Anybody else been told that or find this is true?

Apath, stalls suck, BUT YOU'VE GOT THIS. Stick with what you know you need to do.

I ran into the same. I stalled about a month ago for 2 weeks. Drove me crazy. Talked to ny NUT and she looked at my food diary. She told me I needed to eat more. That is so foreign to me. I asked what my dal intake should be and she said not to even worry about cals. Eat, get Protein and drink enough Water. Finally she told me at my weight I should be eating at least 1200 cals but more toward 1600. Was really hard to go to that and when I did I gained a few pounds. I freaked. She said not to worry, that my body was putting back the muscle it burned when I wasn't eating enough. She was right. I've lost 9 pounds I 2 weeks. Definitely not normal for me. I'm a slower loser. I'm still struggling with my brain saying too many cals. Each day is a struggle, but WE CAN DO THIS!

Six buttons, you could be my foodie twin . I'm almost 3 months out and I miss junk food. I started out at 410, so I thought ir would fall off, but it hasn't. Trying to come to terms that I'm a slow loser. Most times I can handle it last night I lost it and at probably 7-8 mini candy bars. Afterwards I was so depressed I couldn't stand myself. Deja vu. I slept late this morning and got up behind on my Water. And my weight was up too. Depressing. I've been moping around all day and I'm hungry. Gotta shake this. I feel better just writing this down. Just call me Scarlettbecause tomorrow is another day
