I'm a Christian and I have chosen not to tell anyone except close family that I have been sleeved. I share the pre-op diet (that resulted in more than half of my weight loss to date) and that I am keeping my calorie intake low, Protein intake of at least 60 g and Water intake of at least 64oz. All of this is true, but I still feel funny when people ask me about me about my transformation or say that I have inspired them to do better. We all know that this surgery is only a tool and that life after surgery is still hard and that we still have to work at it. So why do I feel, for lack of a better word, guilty, about not sharing that I had the sleeve? Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how are you feeling and how are you dealing with it?

Thanks everyone! I felt a lot better just posting the question last night. Now I feel even better about the responses. You're right. I'm not lying. My medical information is my business. I am eating healthier, exercising, watching my calorie intake and trying to be healthier in general and that's that! Thank you so much for your support!

Yesterday's weight was 171.5. Sorry, forgot to report it.

176.0 I'm at a loss about this large gain. Can't seem to get out of the 170s UGH! Trying not to get depressed. :'(

280 exactly today...yay I made it to challenge goal!!!

What is so interesting to me is that when I look over the chart, we are all losing roughly 2-3 pounds per week. Yes, some gain, or stay the same based on stalls and other factors. But overall, it makes me feel like we aren't "slow losers" we are just on the path of weightloss. Based on my numbers, I should meet the goal I set for the challenge... but what is awesome is that I know I will get there eventually. This challenge was just what I needed!!!

175.0 today. Made goal weight! Hopefully I'll get off this roller coaster and keep moving DOWN the hill!

Sorry, was traveling and didn't have access to a scale. Tonight's weight is 175.4, but feel free to just copy my weight from last week for this week. I'll leave it up to you.

177 for today. Up a little, but I know why. Gotta stay on track!
