I'm not religious but I appreciate those who are. He does not hate you, maybe he's testing your will? Time to prove that you can do it, not only to him but yourself as well.

Dont count lbs day to day. Your six days post op which means youre probably swollen, bloated, and still retaining Water from the anesthesia and countless IVs. Count week to week. So what if you "only" lost 3lbs in a week. Keep that up and a year from now you could lose 150lbs+ (I don't know how much you have to lose but regardless, those are some pretty good #s right there)

Keep following the plan and it will come off, I promise!

Take a deep breath. Most people gain weight in the hospital because of all the fluids. Your body is healing, the stomach us in chaos. You will be fine. Give it a week. And by the way God loves you as he does all of us on this journey.

You may have gained weight in the hospital. I gained 3 pounds from admitting to just as soon as I got home.

Remember or please note. God made your body to heal itself. It goes into survival mode the instant things start changing. From food intake to surgery. So no God don't hate you on the contrary He loves you more than you could ever know.... and He's right there with you. So keep your smile and know that your body is some what like a navigation system. It will recalculate as soon as it realize it's not in trouble, and the weight will drop off.[emoji1]

The first week I barely lost:( the second week I lost and then after that it has been a bit of a roller coaster. However, in eating right and working out so I have made a COMMITMENT to TRUST THE PROCESS and lovingly encourage you to do the same[emoji4] I thought I would be down more but will take this as I'm sharing to encourage you (HW 215 SW 192 and looking forward to GW 135:)
Never forget God loves you and is protecting your body and you every step of this journey and your life[emoji120]?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
