The rate of weight loss

[thinoneday 445]

Hello Sarah

I have over a 100lbs to lose still and since Aug I have lost 35lbs and the scale for me have not moved in over a month, I watch what I eat as does everyone else now who knows I have had my surgey so, I consistly say it took a long time to put the weight on so it is going to take a long time to lose it, but in my head I am thinking I got this surgery to aid in my weight loss but it doesn't seem to be working for me!! Not sure what I am doing wrong...

Bless your heart Kathy. . I had a stall that lasted 3 1/2 months. . . but you know what it finally moved and i started losing again. . . it's rather depressing but keep your chin up, at least you've lost the 35 lbs right! Could you have lost that by yourself without the surgery? Don't compare yourself with others thought that will set you up for heartaches too much. . . you are your own person and your body does it's own thing. . . so what if your friend lost so much more, your losing too. . . it'll move for you too, just be patient and keep doing what your doing!

by the way, i have a dumb question, what is plication surgery?

Hello I had my plication on August 9th, 2010 and have lose only 20lbs, fellow co-worker had gastric sleeve surgery and has lost 86 pounds and she had her surgery in July 2010.

I am feeling a little disappointed and puzzled, sad and wondering if I ever am going to lose my weight or am I to be this size forever!!!!!.

Having a very difficult time, did I pick the right surgery?!?

Hey Kathy,

Firstly, congrats on your weight loss to date.. You are doing really well and the weight you have lost has gone forever. Please don't compare yourself to others... I too had the reg sleeve beg of July and I have 'only' lost 44lb, so compare to your friends weight loss of 46 that is rubbish... However, for me that is amazing as before this amazing tool I couldn't lose 7lb. I am starting to look at this in a different way... I am a slow loser and I have come to realise that this is good... basically cos I am losing and not gaining! If it takes me year from today to lose the remaining excess weight, I have to accept that! At least now I know it has gone for good...

Keep your chin up and I am sure you will see results soon. =]

a friend and myself are both going to Mexico on February 24th to get surgery. I am getting the sleeve plication and she is getting the regular sleeve. We both have about the same amount to lose so I will be interested to see how we both do. I will be sure to post

Please let us know!! I dont know which one I should get the sleeve or the plication. Why did you get the plication what things did you learn to help you make the choice? Thanks!!
