I Don't Think My Dr Was As Happy As I Was

He just wasn't listening to you if you told how you been exercising: keep up the great work. I'm only losing 4 lbs a week. REMEMBER your building muscle while burning fat.

I hope I can loose 36 pounds in a month;

I'm two weeks out and only down 8 lbs from surgery 24 from pre op diet!

BE PROUD OF YOU!!!! We are all proud of you!!

I was sleeved 4/9 and am only down 15. I must be defective! Sooo discouraging. You're doing great!

Sometimes people who don’t struggle with weight or have not had the surgery don’t really know how to be supportive. If you ask me you should Just know and be honest with yourself about your commitment and the life changes that you are making post op and be your best advocate in reaching your goal and you will get there! Also it doesn’t hurt to come on this site for moral support! Good luck and keep rocking that sleeve!

I like to try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt... is it possible he was just trying to say something like, "In this first month you really don't have to work to get the weight to fall off, you just don't have any choice" and that upcoming months may give you more "choice" in the matter? My doctor can be kind of naggy like that, but I believe he has good intentions, not that he's a jerk. I think he wants me to be successful! He probably could have worded it better, but I'd like to believe he just wanted to warn you that the weight won't always come off as easily as it has in the last month? Hopefully

Congrats, you're doing great!!!
