I've been overweight my entire life, so now that I've lost 29 pounds since my preop about two months ago and my sleeve on July 7, I feel in denial, like I keep questioning myself if I really lost 29 pounds after struggling for years to lose on my own. I'm sure this is normal but I feel like I'm doubting myself and sometimes wonder if I'm going to be fat my whole life. Does this make any sense ? Then I feel like a slow loser, I'm happy I'm losing and I know everyone loses at different paces but I always wonder. I know my SW was 250 which may be lower than some, but I still wonder and would love opinions so I can feel better.

Susie' date=' I feel the same way when I read about people saying they lost 25-35 lbs in a month. I have been on liquids for 5 weeks now and am down 17 lbs. I feel like it should be twice that gone but my body works differently. I have been a little sad and want to ask why this is not working. I know that it is, I know that I cannot stay at this weight and eat the amount of food we can eat. Being diabetic makes it tougher to lose the weight too. I started out at 227, so I know I won't lose as fast as others that have more weight to lose.

You really are doing great, you will lose and get to your goal. Sometimes our bodies are just slower. I have only lost a few oz. In almost a week. I don't like it, but I know that once it is gone, I will never see that number on the scale again. Be positive sweetie. If you ever need to talk, you have my number.[/quote']

Thank you Joyce , if u need anything too, I'm here for you.

So I went from 218.5 to 217.8 after three weeks, does that mean I broke my stall or am I getting my hopes up? Lol
