Its now been a week and a half and I haven't stepped on a scale, but I feel like this isn't working for me. I lost 97 pounds pre op and now kind of feel like I expected so much more by this point. Is it normal to feel like I have failed already? I'm kind of depressed.

i haven't been sleeved yet, but from what I've read on this site, everyone is different with the speed in which they lose. But you can be sure, that you WILL lose the weight and you are HIGHLY unlikely to gain it back. So enjoy those thoughts.

Holy Moly... 97 pre op? You are ALREADY a success!! You are going to rock the sleeve! I was sleeved on the 12th as well. I lost 10.2 pounds so far. I get on the scale every morning. I am addicted. Yesterday I didn't lose anything and this morning I only lost the .2, but I am moving down. Maybe not as fast as some, but it is definitely going in the right direction.

I wouldn't worry about not losing anything. I don't see how you can't.

Thanks.

97 lbs is AMAZING Karen ! What a awesome start ! I was sleeved the 11th & I've lost a total of 34lbs . I went to see my surgeon today for follow up & he was very happy with that . Your doing really well ! I wouldn't worry

Congrats on your weight loss. I see my surgeon on Monday for a follow up. I'm an over achiever and super hard on myself. I hope i at least pull in a double didget loss.

Why do you feel like you failed if you haven't even stepped on scale? You could be down 10 or 20 more pounds. Wtg with the 97 so far that is awesome!

i was sleeved on the 13th and I feel exactly the same. Including pre-op I have lost 25lbs but was still feeling down and out and defeated but our bodies are going through a change and it will come off!

How do i post a picture of myself?

I was sleeved on the 13th and am in the same boat. I get up and get on the scales and am like, REALLY??? I have only lost about 12 lbs and it seems like after what little I am eating, it should be more than that. Anyway, I go to the dr on Monday and look forward to talking to the nutritionist and going over everything.

I was also sleeved on the 12th, I'm down 23 lbs post op.

Decided to give in and weigh myself. (The doc asked me not to.) Down 21pounds post op! Wooooo whoooo
