I'm only down 12 lbs since my 3/12 sleeve. I know I've messed up with a slider or two. Where is everyone else's weight loss?

I was also sleeved on March 12th and I have lost 12 lbs thus far. My weigh day is not until Tuesdays but I had to peek this morning and the scale said I was down another 3 lbs. I have not had a stall yet but I know it is coming. I did measure myself today and in 5 weeks I have lost 9 inches. My sister was also sleeved on the 12th and she is about 100 lbs heavier than me and she did not lose anything for 3 weeks straight. She finally lost 4 lbs this week.

Sleeved on 3-8, down 21 lbs, and stuck here for days. Patiently ( somewhat ) waiting for weight loss to resume.

Don't compare yourself to other people! Our bodies, ages, genders, and even technical surgery details are all different. People who lose faster will probably hit more plateaus than slower losers. And logically, losing more than 2-3lb a week is kind of unrealistic if your BMR is like 2,000 and you're only getting in 700-1000 calories a day.

Just relax and stay on track. It will take a long time. Don't sabotage yourself by letting in thoughts telling you you're losing too slowly.

You're right, thanks for the reality check.

I was sleeved on mar 13 and down 18. I was hoping for about 25 in the first month but I'll take it! and our bodies are so different have to stick to plan and let the body decide when it's ready to shed. I lost steadily for 2 weeks. now it seesaws back and forth but generally in downward progression so that's what counts.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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
