today I woke up at my usual time - normal routine.

I feel as though I have not lost a pound..........

somedays it is better to look at where I have been, not where I am going.

I have those days too! Where I wake up and I hope and hope that the scale would have moved but then... nothing. And those days suck. But then I force myself to look at before and after pics and to see how far I've come and it makes it easier. I focus on how much better my life is and I remember that my back didn't hurt when I woke up and I remember that I don't have to worry about my sugar anymore... and it makes it all worth it!

You are right, some days it is better to look back instead of forward... they are great reminders of where we've been and how we got to where we are now. Looking ahead will be for tomorrow

I love to live in the moment. I haven't been losing weight and I'm working on not stressing about it too much. I can't control what's going on in my body, but I can control what I choose to think about. So, here's to a healthy me both physically and mentally.

same here guys, after my first two weeks of being sleeved i lost a total of 14 pounds, then the third week as i introduced pureed foods (i follow a list which my nut gave me, tells me what i should be eating each week) n my weight loss stopped, i was like omg should i go back to full liquids.. then i either went down 1 pound, n then over night i gained 3 pounds n i stayed there for almost the whole week.. wow i just realized it wasn't that long lol felt like forever!. this is my fourth week n it was on Wednesday morning that i weight my self that the scale went down 1.5 pounds yay!.. n then the today i was tempted to weight myself again..so i did lol.. n down another 1.5 pounds.. which is awesome! i havent been able to drink the whole 64oz, n meet the require 80g of protein per day.. just half.. maybe thats y my weight have staled.. n losing inches yay size 14! plus i havent been walking like i used too.. so them 1.5 pounds are like miracles to me. i know i need to put my part n break the old habits, n don't let them creep back in. so i started a garden 2 weeks ago, n yesturday i went outside to plant them in soil, my plants are soo cute.. i am growing watermelon, cantaloupe, tomato, parsly, corn, mixed lettuce leaves.. n thats it.. lol so i broke a sweat from that. but i know i have to push it more.. so hoping my appointment goes well .. will be one month out in april 5, i want to exercise so bad, cardio! .. so yea.. i have those days too.. sometimes we have to "GET UP N DO IT"
