I read something that someone posted before my surgery, something that stuck with me. The post was titled "Rules to follow after your sleeve" or something along those lines. Anyway, the very first "rule" was to eliminate the word "only" from your vocabulary. I have tried very hard to follow that rule, and I think I'm much happier for it. Every time I want to say "I only lost a pound this week!" or "I've only lost 8 pounds this month!" I instead eliminate the "only". Those sentences become suddenly very optimistic: "I lost a pound this week!" and "I've lost 8 pounds this month!" Or, think of it this way if you will: Would you have lost 23 pounds in 8 weeks if you hadn't had your sleeve done? Or would you have stayed the same, or even gained? Don't ever feel defeated in this. It is a journey, not a destination. Thanks! Good advice. ????

Feeling a little defeated, it's been 8 weeks and I have only lost 23 lbs. I had an unbearable 2-3 week stall but thankfully that's over. Trying to stay positive but it's hard when my expectations are so high.
