Thanks for the encouragement guys. This has been really difficult for me! I start with a personal trainer tomorrow so hopefully I can post better news next week. I actually think my body is starving but I can't eat or drink much.

I don't have a scale at home but there is one at my workplace. I'm totally obsessing daily. I have a huge fear of failing at this! I feel liked I sacrificed so much to get here and it's really not working!

Well that's a lot better than my numbers! Not cheating and only lost 10lbs post-op. Really disappointed.

I had a breakthrough! In my previous post I've really been in panic mode about only losing 4lbs since my surgery date, however, my son came home from college for the summer and when he saw me he immediately commented on how much thinner I looked. I thought back to what the doctor said about losing inches sometimes instead of pounds and breathed a sigh of relief! Lesson learned! No matter what the scale says, remain confident in the process.

I'm experiencing the same thing. I think what's most important is what you're filling that new found capacity with! Sounds like you are on the right track.

Thanks friends! Cooler heads prevail! I guess I just needed to vent. Gonna chill and not be a silly goose! Thanks for hearing me.

Thanks! Even though the scales doesn't show it, everyone is noticing and commenting. Gonna try and stay focused but I still have this crazy thought that I made a mistake...should I have gone with the bypass instead??? My girlfriend lost 30lbs a month after bypass. At my current rate I'm on track to lose 16lbs per month! ?

Hey guys: real disappointed right now! Had my sleeve on April 24th ...went for my almost two follow up and I've lost only 4lbs! I cried all the way home. I've done everything I was suppose to do and NOTHING. I lost 15lbs on my own during 3 week pre-op. Please tell me things will get better.

Did see your profile traeleo...what's your starting weight if you don't mind me asking? Mine was 316 but I'm down to 296 with this preop diet! Still need to drop a 100lbs

Anyone up out there? My surgery is at 12 noon tomorrow and I'm getting nervous!
