3 month weigh in (A little late because Doctor canceled visit)

This week is my 3 month visit and I am terrified he is going to tell me I am a failure and he can't help me any longer. (I think I have been watching my 600 pound weight lost show too much) anyway, I haven't lost all that much since my surgery and I wonder if its me or my sleeve. I'm nervous and I gained a pound since yesterday and can't really figure out why.... I wish I could talk to someone about how to control what the mind wants over what the stomach can have. I do not want to stretch my sleeve out and I do not want to gain the weight back....this is a scary journey for me and I pray it will be successful. I'm afraid also because I do my weigh in's naked and they will not let me strip down to nothing when I get to the office. I already plan to weight the lightest clothes I can find in my closet. I will be removing my shoes as well..lol

my current weight is 188.8. I was 218 day of surgery so my total weight loss in 3 months is only 29.2. Does that make me a failure? I sure feel like I am. Alot of people lose so much more in this time frame. But not me. One good thing is I didn't lose any hair. so that's great. oh well I shouldn't panic too much and just see what he has to say on friday. fingers and toes crossed me doesn't yell at me and tell me he is done with me.

Hi Maria, My name is Aleshea,

I don't think you have too much to worry about, after all you have dropped under the 200 lb mark. I have the same fears as you do; I feel as if I haven't lost enough. I started at 267 (5' 3") and am now 248. I've lost 19 lbs. My surgery was February 20, 2015. I use to weigh myself too without clothes; but, now I put on my bra, panties, top and pants or dress before weighing myself because that's the way the doctor is going to weigh me.

I don't believe I'm eating right. I can't stand another protein shake therefore I'm skipping meals altogether especially since I'm not hungry. When I try to eat, 2 spoons or forks in, the gurgling and bubbling in my stomach gets bad. Just like you my first visit with the doctor after surgery was canceled, I'm now rescheduled for the 17th of March. Everyone and every body is different, those that are losing weight fast may also plateau faster. That 1 lb you gained could be a matter of standing on the scale slightly different or an uneven part of the floor. Well let's hope our doctors don't cancel the next appointment; we both seem to have a lot of questions that need answers.
