Is This Thing Working?



Recommended Posts

Ava how are you doing?

I feel like you as I had surgery 10/10 and am only 24 lbs down since surgery and 33 lbs since start of pre-op diet. I tell myself that it is such a small amount for what I've been through. But then I, think how hard it was to lose anything before surgery.

I tell myself to keep to the plan, but that is becoming harder as my appetite is returning.

Two weeks ago I lost 5.7 lbs and was so happy thinking finally I am starting to lose. But last week I gained 3 lbs.

Keep the faith, I am convinced we will make it to a better place in our journey.

Hopefully your doing better now. I've been a slow loser too. Sometimes I go 3 to 4 weeks without losing. Lately it seems my appetite has increased drastically. I'm seriously hungry ever 2 hours or so.

I was sleeved 10/10/ 16
I just don't feel like I'm losing enough weight. Compared to the people I see on my Instagram my progress is disappointing. I know I shouldn't compare myself but it is hard not to when people are posting there updates. I try to be positive and congratulate them but deep down I'm frustrated and envious. I was thinking of deleting my app until I got into a more secure place in my journey.
In the meantime I've reached out to people who are several months out to see if they remember a slow start at the beginning. Some did experience the same but I still feel like an isolated case. A lady also sent me a picture of the average weight loss depending on pre op weight.
While I was deciding on getting surgery I watched a lot of YouTube videos of people who accredited the sleeve for giving them their life back. I guess I'm just nervous that I won't be able to say the same.
Attached is the picture the woman sent me. post-280422-14817080374425_thumb.jpg

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
