What am I doing wrong...

[stcyt 15]

Stacey, it looks like you are about exactly my size, and I can totally relate to your frustration. I was sleeved on March 17 and I have lost 19 pounds so far. I was stuck for almost a month when I was about a month out, and I was totally pulling my hair out!

But... I'm almost 1/3 of the way to goal after just over two months, and that's with almost no exercise. I've been losing inches and I am back into a lot of clothes I hadn't been able to wear for a while. And I haven't been hungry and I haven't been obsessing about food. Not such a bad deal overall, right?

The reality is that those of us who don't have that much to lose are going to lose slower (in terms of pounds on the scale) than those with more to lose. So I am doing my very very best to relax and not torture myself because I want the weight off instantly. I'm averaging about two pounds a week, and I've NEVER been able to maintain that pace consistently without starving myself AND putting in hours and hours at the gym. So I'll take it.

You are so right. I never could have lost 13 lbs in 4 weeks pre-sleeve. If I can loose 13 next month I will be doing great. Its the need for instant gratification that got me here in the first place!!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement

Stacey
