So hey guys How is everyone?

SO surgery happened on January 3rd 2012 and As of about 4 days ago Ive lost 30 pounds. I know this is a huge victory but man I feel as if its not good enough. I keep thinking to myself slow weight loss...... slow.... good.. But yeah I dont know if its my excitement or if im just feeling down on myself.. but still 30 pounds in almost 11 weeks? Any body else? How are you guys doing?

How can 30 pounds in 11 weeks not be enough? Most of us would fall down in disbelief if we loat weight that quickly. Enjoy it, because you will most likely slow down after this initial honeymoon phase.

I mean it is enough.. Its enough for everyone around me to see a difference. I guess its because I havent noticed a difference. I have noticed when people tell me im losing weight how it annoys me now..lmao ( I just hope in another month or so Im all like Yay!!!! * le sigh* I guess I just need to see the difference and not everyone else

yeah 30 pounds that fast is great! but i understand how you say you dont see it but others do. i had a hard time seeing it as well, but when i started seeing it in my clothes falling off, seeing the tendons in my feet and other NSV's it became more real. best wishes on your journey

I have been feeling that way lately also, the first part went quickly however just recently i went for my 2nd fill and i had only lost 5lbs in two weeks. Which was a big slow down for me, I hope this 2nd fill jump starts it again :unsure:

But then it took me 29 yrs to put it on so i guess it can't all come off in 8 weeks :D

Just remember when people say they notice a difference there is one even if we can't see it (I swear I don't see any difference in myself, but that is prob cause i look for one everyday)

Hi apreezy1...are you taking pictures to record your weight loss? I had my surgery on Jan 5th and sometimes feel the same as you until I look at my pictures...only then do I see the difference. Remember this is a slow process, it will come off as long as we do what we are supposed to. Keep up the good work!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
