My doctor told me to expect 1 pound a week and that has stayed true. Slow and steady wins the race!

I was sleeved March and was down 17.8 at my 3 week check. I see these big numbers and think what am I doing wrong? I have to keep telling myself to not compare because we are all different and our bodies have different needs. While at times I am jealous...most of the time i feel good about my decision and progress. Stay positive everybody!- March 2019 sleepers
I wish mine showed the numbers. I only see a graph...- March 2019 sleepers
How are drinking that much fluid a day? The max I was told to drink was 1 ounce every 15 minutes and work up to 2 ounces per 15 minutes.- March 2019 sleepers
I started pureed today. I tried chicken noodle soup. The texture is not doing it for me but I ate 3.8 ounces then started burping which is my sign that I am full. Apple sauce was better but could only 2.5 ounces. Nutritionist said many just stay on thicker liquids until soft food stage...I might follow suit.- March 2019 sleepers
I'm 14 days post OP today and am hungry most of the time. I wonder if it is "muscle memory" so to speak. I'm still very sore but hoping to turn a corner soon. Stay hydrated!- No weight loss
My doctor said to expect on average 1 pound a week. Slow and steady wins the race... hang in there. I'm 14 days post OP and down 16 pounds... thought it would be more and now starting pureed food today so expect it to slow down now.- March 2019 sleepers
I start puree Wednesday and am nervous- March 2019 sleepers
I'm having the same issue....incisions dont hurt but the tissue surrounding the largest one is stabbing pain when I go to sit or stand or bend over...- Feeling pretty well Post-op day 2
Me either....thank goodness - March 2019 sleepers
