3 weeks out and only lost 7 pounds!

What the heck! I'm still on soft foods, barely and all the weight that I thought would be melting off of me is still there. I'm so depressed

I am very slow at losing the weight also. Doc says slow and steady is the best way to go, I am totally sticking to the program, and my sleeve prevents me from overeating. As other people on this forum say, it will happen, you will catch up, even if it takes a year. I am trusting in the process, I really thought I would be at least 10 more lbs ahead by now, but I am not. The surgeon did his part, I am doing mine and that's all we can do, good luck.

That is frustrating! Your body might be just fighting the process. Protein, water, exercise. It WILL happen!

Thank you! I will keep trudging along.

@@julieaj Don't be depressed! You just had major surgery that is going to change your life for the better. Honey, it takes time. Your body has been stressed from surgery and your insides are in the healing process. You were given IV fluids during surgery and maybe gained a few pounds from that.

The weight will come off. Look at my ticker. I was stalled for almost the whole month of April. I just kept doing what I was supposed to do and my body finally caught up to itself and started losing again.

Look forward to your future and don't sweat the small stuff! :)

I'm 3 weeks out and losing slowly as well. Sometimes I get frustrated when I see the other numbers people post but I try to remind myself that I am losing and that what's it's all about. Everyone's journey is different. I guess mine is just a slow Sunday drive on a single lane gravel road.
