Well here it is 1 month surgervarsary. I am disappointed in the weight lost, but I keep trying to remember slow and steady. I really thought it was going to be fast and furious, lol. I have read some posts on others peoples slow journey, so I will try my best to have patience, but it is so hard. I am probably eating 1/4 of the calories I used to, of course so much more Protein, Water, no white anything, why is the weight not falling off. See doc 9/9, lots of questions, NUT was not much help. By now if I was just on a regular diet, I would have so gone off of it, but having sleeve helps that and I am grateful for it, just wish weight loss was faster like I expected. Hope all doing well

Patience is the key. Your body is still healing, and everyone responds to the surgery differently. Maybe your body just needs to hold on to more Water while it is healing. It also takes a while to figure out the new way of eating.

I agree that discussing it at your follow up doc visit is a great idea. Hope things pick up for you soon.

You didn't mention how much you have lost for being one month out...maybe your expectations are too high?

I was a slow loser on the beginning. Don't get discouraged. It will be ok. I am 12 weeks out and am now down 56lbs (including pre op diet) and losing quickly now. Maybe the slower loss will help with loose skin. Hang in there, it gets better.

Thanks guys, I really do not know exact weight lost, as of last Thursday I was down 9lbs from surgery. I do not have a scale, as I do not want to get obsessed with weighing, but clothes feel about the same. Afraid if I get on scale and it's not down I will freak.

My surgery anniversary is tomorrow and I am sooooo like you very disappointed. I have no scale , when I started the journey last November I was 273 . Pre surgery about 245 . So the surgeon on 8/10 I was 240. So my medical Dr. On 8/24 I was 232 . I go see my nut tomorrow . I see my clothes fitting different . I am walking every day 2 miles . But I swear when I look in the mirror I still see the 273 pound person! ????????! And I over think about everything I eat . To were I don't wanna eat.

My surgiversary is also tommorrow ..Hw 363 Sw 340 Cw 319 I think mine is a little slow as well but can sure tell a difference ..first pic before second pic now

I called my nutritionists today about my slow weight (1month) she said hide the scale!!!

It's all about healing and your body getting used to your new anatomy ... Focus on W.E.P.N.S

Water, excercise, protein, nutrition and support
