    bling2 got a reaction from snowkitten in Having a hard day today and feeling like a failure   
    I feel you. I also feel like I've failed or the procedure itself has failed me. Also no support or input from the doctor and his staff. I'm almost a year and half post surgery and I've only lost 50 lbs since surgery. I haven't gained any weight and every one tells me I look great and physical I do feel great. The Dr prescribed diet pills to help but still not much weight loss. The 1st 6 months I complained that I wasn't able to tolerate the Protein Shakes, so they recommended lactose free milk and that still didn't work for me so finally 9 months later I was told to try egg based Protein which works however it's only 23 grams of protein. I had a GI Study today to check my sleeve and to see why I've been horrible acid relux. Now I'm just waiting on the results and trying to say positive. I wish you the best and don't give up.

    I think we've all been there - especially the fear that you've lost that last pound you are going to lose - ever! I thought that from the start...all the way to 140 pounds lost. The thing about the sleeve is that you don't lose super fast, or at least most people don't.
    Ignore the "I lost 100 pounds in 6 months, at GOAL!" posts. That is the exception, not the rule. You'll see just as many post about slow loss. I almost never open those fast loss posts , lol. Good for anyone who can do that, but the hard cold truth is, we just can't control the rate at which we lose. We CAN control how we eat, making sure we follow the rules and doing our part.
    I have tons of great advice for people, (because I'm like that ) but the most important thing I can say is that you just have to stick with it for the long haul, and it will work. It's not magic. Just do the best you can every day, and know you need to do this indefinitely. You are not failing, you are just living.
