10 months ago I had surgery and I've only lost 90 lbs. My friend had it done & we both weighed the same amount and she's already lost 135lbs. What am I doing wrong?? Please help because I am becoming discouraged! I need to start a diet maybe??

Ah ... see my post to your other question.

First of all 90lbs is a very good loss. Second everyone is different. You cannot compare yourself to someone else or you will always be discouraged. Are you taking enough protein in, drinking enough fluid, exercising, or just ask yourself what you are eating. Also you cannot starve your sleeve. Do not give up you haven't even hit a year yet. Be happy you have lost 90 do not be in competition with someone else. When there is a competition there is always a loser and you are not a loser (in a negative way). Change your way of thinking and say "I have lost 90lbs!!" Stress will make you gain weight so relax and work on yourself without comparing yourself to someone else.

Thanks so much!! I'm under TONS of stress and I crave sweets & I eat them. I do not drink enough and I know I'm not eating right, however, I do exercise 3 times a week but I know I could do more. I will change my eating habits because I do feel myself going back to my before surgery habits and that's not good at all. I need to start a diet or something. I'm just not happy with my results thus far.

You are welcome. You can do this! You just have to set your mind to it. Do not give up and go back! You did not go through this surgery to go back to old habits and sabotage your own success. Stay positive! Its not a race its a lifestyle change.

are you kidding me? 90 lbs in 10 months is terrific. remember...never compare your weight loss to others ok?

Your sleeve is working fine - don't look for a different weight loss program
