I was sleeved 12/17/2010,so I am 6 weeks post op. I have lost a total of 39 pounds so far. What you all are feeling is perfectly normal and will get much better, trust me. The human body is an amazing vesse land it adjusts quite quickly. By the time I was a week post-op, I was feeling great! Congrats to all of you and welcome to the losing team!!!

I was sleeved on dec 17, 2010 and am 5 weeks post op. My surgeon is Dr. Prokurat in NJ and he is wonderful, he has the most amazing bed side manner. My recovery was easier than i thought it would be, but am running into difficulties now. I have lost 35 pounds soo far but now find myself stalled for the last 2 weeks. It is very frustrating when you are following dr's orders and eating waaay less than u did before and not seeing any results. I am trying to hang in there and stay positive but find myself having a little buyer's remorse. Am I the only one feeling this way?

That is soo true. If i think about weight loss pre-op, it was non-existant! I did exactly the same thing< did a better job of tracking my food and up'd my excercise and i have finally broken my stall! After a lifetime full of excess weight I guess u just get so caught up in the numbers instead of the way you feel. I must admit I am feeling great! So, just have to concentrate on the positive, I think i'm gonna hide the scale !!!

I too am obsessed with the scale and i think it's because the weight was melting off directly after surgery. However , now that I am 5 weeks post op I am finding that it really isnt moving at all and I am soooo frustrated!!! I really need to find a way to stay off the scale for an extended period of time. I have lost 35 pounds soo far and that in and of itself is amazing in 5 weeks. Need to look at the positives !!!!
