Mary71,

You're doing great; you've lost 26 pounds in one month. That's a great start, Yes; you have to work on you fluid intake and obvious your food intake too. Stop beating yourself up, also make sure you are taking a multivitamin daily. Continue to look around the boards and I'm sure you will find someone that has face the same issue you are dealing with.

Good Luck To You

Mary,

You're doing great! I was sleeved 8/6 and you've lost more than I have.....and our start weight isn't that far apart (mine was 225).

My weight has been a stalemate more than 1/2 of the time post op....If you're weighing yourself daily, don't.....that can get you down.....try weighing once a week or every other week.....I'm sure you're seeing a difference in your clothing..

sometimes I compare myself to others, and think I'm doing poorly....but I have to remind myself it's not a race, and we all lose weight at our own pace....no two bodies are the same.....Good luck, don't be so tough on yourself.....good luck

You are driving yourself "round the bend". And like the two above have said, YOU ARE DOING GREAT. Hide the daggone scales and just focus on liguids and protein. You are still healing... Heal, practice and IGNORE the weight...

Thank you all for the words of encouragment. I SO APPRECIATE IT. You are all probably right and I need to leave the scale alone.

Good luck to all of you as well.
