Going crazy and scared

That's how I feel this AM. The weight loss is soooo slow, I can barely stand it. I am following the food plan exactly, drinking my Water, not as much as 64oz, I try, and getting in my Protein for sure. Riding my bike and walking in the pool, have 2 bad knees. I plan on weight training next week. I am 7 1/2 week out and since surgery 8/3, I have only lost 20lbs, with preop 35lbs. Yes I am grateful and grateful for the sleeve, but I feel like the slowest loser, especially reading everyones successes, and feel like a failure. Doc says slow and steady is best, but this is ridiculous. I really need some feedback, Anything, thanks. I have posted this before, but now I am really scared that it has not picked up like I had hoped.

  • These posts are so frustrating for me to read. I have no idea how or where the unreal expectations I see online are established! Want to know what real post-WLS surgery looks like? Pre-op I

  • I agree with the others above. Don't compare yourself. Just focus on the fact that you have lost this amount. Its a great feat already! It will come off sometimes slow, sometimes fast and sometimes no

It seems like the people who lost a lot of weight before surgery lose a bit more slowly afterward.

@sbg224 Oh dear ... I would love to give you a big ol hug !

I know how frustrating this is ... and yes ... while we KNOW that after surgery we will not wake up thin and gorgeous .... one part of us wishes that was the case !

But alas ... it's not ...

Your new sleeve is a TOOL ... not the answer .... You have to do exactly what you're doing to work with your TOOL and get the results you want and deserve ...

A few pounds a week is a good steady pace and a healthy pace to loose weight ... anything faster and you could develop other health issues that I KNOW you don't want!

Slow and steady wins the race my friend !

Keep going .... don't stop ... the finish line is right ahead ! :)
