    For some reason most people (mainly from the us) keep mentioning 6 months.. It must be what they advise over there, my doctor advised 6 weeks.. And I'm going to see beyonce on the 5th of July and I absolutely will be drinking with no fear. I'll do a trial run a few days prior to see what I can handle.. But I'd just ask your doctor.

    So I called up and spoke to the support team with the private clinic I used, and they have advised me that they don't believe in a 'starvation mode' and I can excersize as much as I want and that it will help.. Even if I'm eating less calories then I'm burning from my 7 mile walks.

    I've promised to not step on the scales until Friday, and continue doing what I'm doing.. I told her she better be right otherwise I'll be storming down to her clinic to raise hell haha.

    I've been down all day over it, I don't know why I even weighed myself I was feeling fantastic.. And I should be thankful it's pound down.. Not gained, and I've had days where I lose two in one day, I haven't had a bm, I could be bloated.. Could be many things.

    Thank you for the advice dub and lipstick, honestly it's been a great help ❤️

    I had surgery around the same time as you. I was really excited with week 1 and I haven't lost any weight week 2. So there it is - huge investment and huge change and it's still going to take time. I know for me the sooner I accept this - the better will be. Good luck hang in there! :)

    Well atleast im not alone there, maybe it's a common thing for week two to not be as forgiving! You're right though, it's truly not a quick fix

    You've lost 13 pounds in two weeks. Relax. You're doing great.

    Thank you, I think i get too caught up in other peoples success stories and it makes me put pressure on myself.. It's not even been two weeks yet and prior to surgery I'd be lucky to lose two pounds in a week.. So I get it. It just doesn't seem to want to stick in my mind.

    Everybody has a different story with different advice and sometimes it's hard to know what I'm supposed to do.

    For the amount of exercise you are doing you may not be getting enough calories in, causing slow weight loss. Maybe try backing down from the 7 miles a day until you can consume more. Maybe do two or three miles

    And kudos to you for being able to do that much so soon! I was very weak until about month two. I was getting dizzy and light headed trying to jump into a lot of exercise that soon.

    I didn't even think of that.. So you think maybe the exercise im doing vs the calories I'm taking in is leaving me at a deficit which is slowing down the weight loss? Wow I'm just beyond frustrated, I have never wanted to be more active in my life and now I'm potentially being punished for it =\

    I had the quickest recovery, honestly I've had zero problems and came off painkillers and meds day two, I've been in no pain ever since even all of my incisions have scabbed up, fallen off and I just have the smallest scars now. Lucky in that sense but.. I don't know, ergh I'm just frustrated because I'm being more health and weight concious than ever and not being rewarded

    Hi all, I was sleeved on the 26th of May.. Sw was 250 and I'm now 237.. Has anybody else found themselves obsessed with weight loss and doing all they can to get it down? For the past week I've been walking 7 miles per day and I've been really focusing on how much Protein I'm taking in etc, but I've only lost 1 pound since Friday.. and it's starting to stress me out.

    I'm getting emotional because I really, really feel this pressure from people around me and myself to see excellent results and at the moment it's just not happening for me as quick as others. Please don't judge me, I just really need support right now

    Well it's officially 7 days since my surgery last Thursday.. I came off my pain medication day 3 because I didn't like the way it made me feel. No pain, my scabs have almost all fallen away to reveal tiny neat little scars (all except the furthest left) and it's almost as if the surgery didn't happen.

    The only thing I'm having trouble with, is realising that the decision i made to have this surgery was a little.. Quick. I'm 29 and I paid for my surgery myself.. Privately, so within the space of 1 month of deciding I wanted the surgery, I had the procedure.

    I kinda feel like I'm not myself anymore, I didn't realise how much my life revolved around food from the moment I woke up to the moment I slept, I kinda miss it.. But I do know ultimately this was the best decision, I just maybe need to get new hobbies or something

    Yesterday was a really hard day for me, I was upset because the head hunger had hit me hard and I hadn't weighed myself so although I only got sleeved on the 26th, I felt like I was doing this all for nothing.

    Then this morning I decided to weigh myself, just to see. I've lost 10.5 pounds in just 5 days. That has motivated me beyond belief and given me that big push I needed to realise that I can do this!!!
