You don't lose weight as fast with the sleeve as you do with a bypass. It's a better, healthier route in the long run. Ten pounds plus each month is very nice, really. Sure, you will see some who lose more or less than you, but you can't really compare yourself to anyone. Here's some food for thought since food for your tummy is in short supply :). Your body's metabolism is in the shitter 'cause it thinks your dying. Your system is still recovering from major surgery even though the roughest part is most likely past. You probably spent some of those three months less active than normal and you still may need to work in more activity to boost that metabolism. Don't step on the scale as often as you are because stress over progress is not helping your progress! I'd even scale back to weighing once a month. Do things like track calories or take body measurements. Measure your food to ensure continued support of learning true portion sizes. Instead of relying on a scale to give you positive feed back, rely on yourself to "know" you are doing the things you need to do for better eating, and living. If you step on a scale one week and it doesn't tell you the numbers you want to see, then you might actually hurt your progress by refusing much needed protein, good fats and calories. You actually do have to eat in order to make magic happen, plus you don't want your hair falling out and clogging up you drains!
Oh, and your co-worker is toxic. What a horrible thing for them to say to you. I'd create some distance there because you don't need to be thinking about those words in the middle of the night when you can't sleep. It is normal to have some anxiety about the speed of your progress. You just agreed to have your body cut open, your stomach butchered into a wee little banana, and your whole life changed forever and ever. You want results and you want them right now :). I do too lol, but I know I am doing the right things for my body, I'm eating very healthy, I kayak on the ocean, I walk on the beach, I do my eliptical even though that is way too boring for me and now when I watch tv I work out with free weights mindlessly. I lose 10 lbs a month too and I have so far to go still, but ima not worry about it. Chin up, you will be amazing! Wait, I mean, you are amazing--try to believe that.
