I was sleeved 8/27 I've only lost 17lbs. My weight on surgery day was 195. This sucks

I had my surgery 8/26 and I losr 1 more lb than you and I am super happy. I would never ever would lost this weight on my own( i mean on my own without the sleeve)

, plus we are smaller so 10% of weight loss is amazing...calculate % of weight loss, and not actually a number of lbs, someone that weighs 300lbs might lose 30Lbs this is 10% of their weight...You did great!!!

Can you imagine in 1 year? This is how I think!

Honestly, when I saw the subject line of "17lbs in a month", I thought this was going to be a happy post.

That's a great loss in just a month.....especially considering you have a fairly low starting weight. I'm not sure why you aren't happy about that loss.

Finding the bright side is going to be a helpful thing for you over the long haul of this journey.

I was totally excited when I read the title as well. I would be thrilled to lose almost 20 pounds in a month because like the previous woman said I would never have done that on my own in a month or even two months so congratulations keep your chin up and just keep plugging away

Sooo...17 pounds in one month. Sounds amazing to me. At 17 pounds a month you would lose to goal weight in less than a year. Why so sad?

@gabbisha you're probably just having a "day" ... CHIN UP BUTTERCUP!

You LOST weight ... it didn't find you !

You didn't have a stall ... YOU LOST !

That is wonderful news :)

Bask in that glory and keep moving forward ... the rewards are so worth it !

Wow you guys are Awesome!! Thanks

I felt the same way too! My starting weight was 182 after pre surg diet (pre surg 188). Surgery was 9/2/15 and am at 169. I was feeling bummed that it wasn't coming off faster. But in reality we are doing fantastic!! The scale hasn't moved as fast but my scrub pants are fitting sooooo much better!!! I think you're doing fantastic! Great job!

Yep/ I started at 185 5 wks post op and I m down to 167.. Super happy. We don't have too much wt to lose so our journey will be slightly different from others.
