I was sleeved on 11/21. I Don’t eat. Not that I’m proud of that. I try to take down as much Water as I can. I eat broth, Protein Shakes (well 1 a day). I’ve been going to the gym, now granted I’m walking on the treadmill. Trying to move more than before. Sorry I’m ranting. My question is, how the hell since 11/21 have I only lost 6 pounds? I feel so dejected. Was this surgery a a huge mistake?

No it wasnt. You have to remember that your body is really adjusting and recalibrating after a traumatic event. Don't be hard on yourself or be regretful. You have to also remember that you are not taking in a lot of calories and you are exercising on top of that. Your body may be in complete shock. Despite all of this...the scale is moving in the right direction. Now really ask yourself, without this surgery would you have really lost 6 pounds in that short period of time. If your metabolism is anything like mine ..its a whopping hell no!

I was sleeved on 11/28/18...and I know there will be some mental play here...so that is why I decided not to weigh myself. I have been the big girl for so long, I don't want to be in bondage by the scale anymore. That is why I will say to you. You had surgery to free yourself. Dont imprison yourself again with the numbers game. Think about it...the scale will change...but your mindset has to change too. Be patient with you and remember you did this to feel better about you. Whatever is going to out that in jeopardy, stay away from it.

I hope I'm not preaching...but I want you to know that you're journey is just beginning..and if you work your tool and be patient...your weight loss goal will come to fruition.

Hang in there [emoji8]

I was sleeved on 11/21, I’m so weak. I don’t understand why. Everything else is fine. I’m trying to drink my amount that I was told (which I find really hard). And will I have to drink in sips forever? My stomach starts to spasm (best way I can describe it) if I drink more than a sip.
