This has been one of the biggest disappointments of my life.

I had a gastric sleeve performed on February 26. I was exactly 200 pounds on the day of my surgery. Today, almost 8 weeks out I am a measily 14.5 pounds down. BIG DEAL. I suffered miserably! Apart from that I counted on the surgery to help me. I am doing all the work and from what I can see, the surgery is doing nothing.

Sorry - but this is not being "a down to earth person who tells it like it is." This is being bitchy.

Let me "tell it like it is." What IAmGrace wrote is THE answer to your question. There is no other answer.

If the answer to your question is so obvious to you - then why are you asking it? 

RJAN: If you followed the sequence of posts here, you will see that I didn't ask a question. Don't call me a b***h before you know what you're talking about.

I apologize - you didn't ask a question. As you said, you are here crying out for help.

That is the help you will get here - people kindly taking the time to tell you to stick at it and the pounds will come off eventually. People kindly taking the time to tell you not to compare yourself to others who started at higher weights or have faster metabolisms. People kindly taking the time to tell you to celebrate non-scale successes. There can be no other help other than that. No one here can turn back time and reverse your surgery, or make your weight come off more quickly, or anything like that.

If you don't want that help, don't come here and snipe at people because the responses they so kindly took the time to give you are "obvious."

RJAN: You obviously love drama. I didn't snipe as you put it. If you want to discuss this further, please message me in private. I'm sure these people don't want to hear this nonsense.

If you continue to SNIPE at me, I won't respond.
