    Welcome.
    If you felt that much anxiety after seeing the scale jump by 3 pounds, perhaps it is time to weigh yourself less frequently. Try weighing in once weekly, or even once a month.
    Realistic expectations are important. Weight loss with a sleeve doesn't occur in a neat, linear pattern. We lose pounds, then stall/plateau on occasion, then may even gain pounds due to fluid retention or glycogenation before dropping weight again.
    When is the last time you lost 14 pounds in 2 weeks through diet and exercise? I'm guessing your answer is "Never."
    You're doing great. Stay off the scale and allow your body to sort through the trauma it has experienced. Expecting to lose a pound a day is unrealistic.
    Good luck to you.
