Was sleeved on 9/19 and started out at 262 and today I am 220. So that is 42lbs in about six weeks. I have stalled some which frustrated me and my weight loss has completely slowed down these last 2 weeks. However I am seeing the results of the weight loss but not necessarily in a good way. Don't get me wrong I am so happy with the loss but I am so disgusted with where I got myself to and now that I can see the loose skin especially on my inner thighs. When I started this whole process I didn't think about the changes I would see before I got to my goal weight and yes I expected loose skin at that point and had actually started to prepare myself for a full body lift but I just can't even look at myself in the mirror without critizing every part of me. My husband is so supportive and keeps saying once I start working out to fix the loose skin and that he doesn't really notice it. Sometimes I think he says it because he has to. I know the sleeve is not a quick fix and I am completely committed to using the tool appropriately but I just don't like what I look like until then. Just a rant thanks for listening.

I went through that. I hated the way everything looked when I was dropping weight quickly within the first 3 months especially. My body would look so yucky and empty/saggy and then it would kind of plump out again. It was as if things needed time to distribute themselves. Don't despair. Exercise helps quite a bit and it seems like the stalls/slow weight loss did too oddly.

As for the hubs- I'm glad u acknowledge his patience. Yay support! Try not to burn him out with negativity (I used to criticize my body like crazy). One day I realized that I didn't want to point out nastiness because I was hoping that he didn't see it like I did. It was hard to be sexy when 30 minutes ago I was complaining about my pancake tush. Hang in there! It will get better.

I feel the exact same way. I have "only" lost 30 pounds, and already the sagging skin on my stomach makes slapping sounds when I walk around in my night gown. Hubby has mentioned being able to finally wear a 2 piece bathing suit, I am trying to be positive and explain to him that it ain't going to happen because of the sagging skin. I may be looking better in my clothes but not otherwise.
