I’m glad you posted this, I am experiencing the same. I was sleeved on 4/26, lost 16 the week before on clear liquids, only 6 in the week of surgery. I am down 2 lbs this week so far, so I think on track to be another slow week. Feeling kind of discouraged but trying to stay hopeful! I wonder if I am just not being active enough.

I would definitely agree with the other posts - you need to see a therapist to work through the emotional/mental part of your eating habits. Otherwise your surgery will not be as successful. It is only a tool. A good program should have this as a requirement as well, mine required a letter from a therapist. I know it is hard, I have been working with one for almost a year and just now feel like I’m making progress. It goes so much deeper than just liking food, at least for me. It is so hard and definitely the biggest hurdle. But I believe you can do it!! And hopefully make the permanent change you need in your life, best of luck

I also just had my surgery on the 26th! I was a little discouraged because I was on the clear liquid diet for a week before and I lost 19lbs. I just did my first weekly weigh in and only lost 6 lbs since surgery. It is so hard mentally because I had an expectation in my head and I have to remind myself that my body is going through a lot right now. And 6 lbs in a week is good! Stay positive and best of luck to you
