My appointment today had a scale reading of 279. Last dr visit I was 295. The team was excited. The dr came in and had a true heart to heart with me and said I was doing above average. He said not to worry about having issues with certain foods because there may actually be foods that I simply can't tolerate with the sleeve. Most important to watch Protein intake and liquids. His expectations are 1-2lbs per week. Just continue on the path I'm on and I will do fine. I expressed my concern over an increase I saw in the scale. He said all that was normal and DO NOT STRESS. Do not stress people! I read so many times of those who feel u aren't loosing fast enough or referring to someone else who lost more. Well they aren't you. The main thing is compare yourself to no one. We are all going to progress at different rates. The only wrong thing is to not follow the instructions you have been provided with to use with your new sleeve. Reverting back to poor eating and not using this amazing tool as it was designed "to help". It isn't a quick fix or a solution. You have to change the way you see food and change your relationship with food.
Enough rambling! I'm excited after today.
And if you doubt yourself don't!
Wishing everyone happy holidays!
