I was in the same boat. I wanted it to come off faster. Hang in there and keep it up, it’ll come off. The sleeve is a slower weight loss method b/c we don’t have the malnutrition aspect (rerouting intestines). Keep up proper diet and drinking 64oz water daily. It’ll come off.

I feel ya, I'm in the same boat. I can't complain about a 20 lb weight loss. And I had a super easy time of it post-op BUT it's no fun! I look forward to a meal only to be able to eat 3 bites. And gosh I'm sick of water.

I'm also a June 8 sleever. I just got back from beach vacation and weighed myself:( ive only lost 20 lbs overall. I feel like I should be shedding lbs quicker. I'm kind of depressed about it.

Eat protein first always. No carbs. Ever. Period.

You'll be fine to go. I'm almost 4 weeks out and feel fine. I've been gardening, painting, shopping. Just remember to take snacks with you so you don't make bad food choices.

Great work, beauty!

Its also a lot of fat.

After the first week it gets better.

Wow, that sounds great but they don't offer that here.

I have no idea what that is. Can you explain a bit.

This is good to hear. I was just sleeved 3 days ago and frequently think of food.

This is terrible advice. What's done is done, isn't comforting or supportive. It a little mean in fact. Secondly, depression can be exogenous on endogenous and both forms absolutely benefit from medication.

This is exactly the advise my surgeon gave me.

Are you serious?

I don't think it's the greatest idea but you have to do you. If you are compelled to have the surg on your own, then go for it. But be prepared for the backlash when you return to your hubby. It may get ugly. Have you thought of telling him just before you leave. At least then he won't feel so betrayed and you won't have to listen to his negativity. Sent from my iPhone using BariatricPal

I've not had the surgery yet ( hopefully in April) but from what I hear, your situation is very common. It puts a strain on marriages and relationships. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
