The time is going soooo slow for me. I just want this done!

May 24 for my revision from sleeve to RNY.

I had my sleeve done 1/15/19 and I’m a very slow loser. I averaged two pounds a month for the first year (after an initial 16 lb loss the first month). They told me 2lbs a week would be ideal, slow and steady. As of my anniversary date 2.5 months ago, I’ve lost 2lbs. I’m only 1/2 way to my goal, 273lbs to 216. I battle the discouraging feeling everyday. I’m afraid I’ve reached my maximum weight loss. I tell myself “I’ve never been able to lose this much so think positive”. But I wonder why is it so hard for me. I even stopped coming here because it was difficult to hear the great success stories. When I do come here I look for people struggling like me. It’s hard to find. The PA has no reason other than my body is resisting the loss but I feel a year out it should give up the resistance. Anyway, try to stay positive no matter what rate you lose the weight. I have my internal battles every day trying to keep positive and know “I will get closer to where I want to be”.

6 months post op and just reached 40 lbs. I wish I hadn’t told anybody. Feeling like I’m on display and a failure. Very discouraged.

I told a couple of people, cousin and sister-in-law, along with my immediate family. I knew the word would spread with the cousin and sister-in-law. But now I regret it. The questions about my weight loss is discouraging because it’s very very slow, slower than weight watchers. 1/15/19 surgery and struggling to get to 35 lbs. Its a constant battle just like it always has been. So I’m hating the judgement as to why I don’t look like I’ve lost weight. I also told my best friend just prior to the surgery and her response was “that’s a bit extreme isn’t it?” She has since lied to me to get out of plans we made and is snarky with me. I haven’t seen her since before the surgery so I’m guessing the friendship is over. If I hadn’t told her she wouldn’t even have a clue that I did it. Now I have to face seeing all my family at an upcoming wedding and I’m sure they’ll be shocked that I don’t look any different and I’m sure the questions will come. I should have kept it to myself because now I feel like even a bigger failure.

I had my surgery Jan 15th and have noticed it too at the same time. I started taking Biotin. I have very thick hair so not noticing it too much. Not sure if this is just a phase that corrects itself or can it continue.

Ten days post op for me and initially lost 10lbs but as of day 10 am up a lb. completely discouraged. Getting in my Protein, Water. I just don’t get it. I wasn’t required to lose any weight prior to surgery. How can I not be losing?
