    It's been almost 3 weeks since my sleeve and I can't drop any more weight. I dropped 8lbs in the first week and not an ounce more. I'm following my plan like prescribed. I talked to my nutritionist yesterday and she said some people's bodies go into a starvation mode and makes it difficult to lose weight in the beginning. I'm beginning to give up hope and wonder if I did the wrong thing.

    My date was 6/20. I had eggs yesterday morning and they didn't sit well at all. I had horrible indigestion and gas pain from them. Thought they were going to come up for a while. Of course all our "pouches" respond differently. Hope it works out well for you.

    I have a drain tube that will be in until Monday. It has become sore and bruised at its entry point. Every time I move, i can feel it moving and tugging. I honestly feel like the drain tube is stalling my recovery. For the most part, all my other incisions are bare able and at times, I don't feel them at all. The tube is located right under my left rib cage. My underwear hit it and when I sit down my breast hit it. It's inconvenient and in a bad place. I think if it were out, i could put on clothes and get out of the house. Is anyone having a similar experience with a drain?

    I've been a ball of emotions today. I'm so nervous and scared. I've been crying and everything. I'm sure it's normal but I hate feeling this way. My oldest is in the Navy and called today to wish me luck and I bawled. We are dropping off our other two to my mom's in a little bit. I know I will cry then. I'm a worrier and can't stop thinking of what could go wrong.

    Monday is my big day. Today I got the call to be at the hospital at 5am Monday. After the call, anxiety and worry has set it. I've been excited for the most part up until today. Now, I just want to cry. I don't want to back out but I'm scared to death of something going wrong or my liver not as small as the Doctor would like it.

    I am on day 7 of my pre-op liquid diet. I have only lost 2lbs. Other people I know have dropped 20 or more on this. To top it off, I've only lost 8lbs total since Feb when I started my VSG journey. My doctor acts as if he doesn't believe that I've stuck to my diet, but is still doing my surgery Monday on what he says is my "word" that I am sticking to it. If I gain anything even an oz. before surgery, he will cancel that morning. What I'm really worried about is that if I'm basically starving myself now and not losing, is VSG going to even help me? I just don't understand why I can't drop the weight.
