im beginning to think sleeve surgery is a scam

Keep in mind that calories in/calories out is not absolute mathematics. And it's not instantaneous. It's not like you drive your car 20 miles and burn 2 gallons of gas immediately. It doesn't work that way in the instant. But over time it will.

If im not consuming as much calories and moderately exercising' date=' i should have lost more than 26lbs since 12/17[/quote']

You did not gain 70 pounds overnight and you will not lose it like that either

If you haven't lost anymore weight by the time you are 6 months out and you follow the program then you can call it a scam. You have to at least give it the 6 month try.

I am sooooo confused. Lost 26 pounds in less than a month and not happy....exactly what were you expecting? Did your doctor promise you you'd wake up from surgery looking like Kate Moss?

Amen. People want a miracle while I'm here just wanting to feel healthy and will take it. Some fat people feel so entitled. That's the same rationale used to get you fat.

I think the majority of people get discouraged when they hit a stall. I know I was and I thought I was a failure. It gets better.

Try to stay positive and remain focused and on track. We will win this thing! :)

I just have to day when i went back to work one of the guys was like "i was expecting you to come back all dressed up in a suit" meaning i thought you'd be skinny by now, guess he was expecting Kate moss 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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
