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. :)

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 :)

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 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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
