Im 24 days post op ive lost 32 lbs but dont see it. I guess because of looking at the same image for so many years. I dont like to weigh myself to avoid disappointment. Am i over thinking this.??!

Sounds like you are doing great. I lost 50# before anybody noticed! You are overthinking things but rapid weight loss releases hormones so many of us felt emotional in those early months. You will do fine.

You're fine. I prefer not to weigh myself at home because it makes me crazy. I try to only get weighed at the doctor's. Sounds like you are doing okay. Just keep it up.

Yeah, you are probably putting too much effort into the thought process...lol. Not that you are alone among us! I was at 3 months and had quit watching the scale as I only lost 2 lbs the entire month of June, when all of the sudden I put a belt on and realized there were not enough notches on it. I went from a 48 inch waist to my current 38 inch waist in about 5 months. Even if the scale isn't moving, your body maybe redistributing things! Best of luck to you

Try taking a picture and put it side-by-side with your before picture; that should do it! Sounds like you're doing really well... congranulations!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
