STUCK at 227! I have been 227 for what seems like forever! I hate that I get on the scale EVERY SINGLE day-- sometimes more than once! Im hoping that buyers remorse doesn't start to set in :-(

Stay off the scale! LOL It's tough to do, but it's the only way not to drive yourself crazy!!! You WILL lose weight, just give your body time to adjust. Are you at three weeks out yet?

It's 1 month on Wednesday :-(

I am nearly 3 weeks out now and I am stuck in 187, I am thinking positive. I just started going to the gym and I know working out is going to help.Don't stress out. I know how you feel but the weight will come off faster as soon has you become more active and active.

Lissa is right. Everyone's weight fluctuates from day to day. My 1 month is tomorrow and I will get weighed at my doctors appt. I have not weighed myself since my one week post-op visit.

I have lived long enough and been on enough diets to know that weighing yourself more often than about once a week just causes too much stress.

The weight will have to come off. Your body requires a certain amount of calories just to live and breathe-even without any activity. As long as you are consuming less calories than that amount (and you would have to-the sleeve won't allow you to eat that many) you are guaranteed to lose weight. It may not show up day to day on your scale. And if you are exercising-muscle weighs more than fat so if you are replacing fat with muscle you will be losing inches, but maybe not any lbs.

Obsessing over our weight and diets is what got most of us into this mess in the first place. Just work your plan and the weight WILL come off.
