I am scheduled for a sleeve on 1/27 ... just 3 weeks away. I've heard so many amazing weight loss stories and I am very psyched. :thumbup:

But then, I start reading about people who plateau after just a few weeks - going weeks without losing anything. I said my goal was 10 pounds per month, but now I'm afraid I won't make that.

My head knows it's all about losing weight and getting healthier, but my heart wants to be THIN. Any advice for someone freaking herself out? PLEASE?!?!?!?!?

I tend to get a little depressed when I go 3 or 4 days with no change, but I have discovered that my body takes time every now and then to rearrange what is left, before proceeding. Magically, on the next day, I lose a chunk of about 3 lbs. Strange, but true

Take measurements - when you hit a stall - take your measurements again - even though you may not see the scale moving, you will see inches lost and that should be a great motivator to you ... it's amazing how the inches seem to melt off even if the scale isn't moving - the scale will move again - so if you hit a stall - put the scale away for a week, take your measurements and don't stress over it - you will lose!

VegasAngel - Definitely doing the measurements. I never did that before on diets & while I really don't want to know what those are, I know it will help when I feel like I'm not making progress. Thanks!
