Hey

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?

I was sleeved on Dec 1st and I have stalled for the last week. I know that I will eventually start losing again. I have increased my calories as well as I can and between yesteday and today I have walked over 5 miles. I am hoping this will past soon. I do not have buyer's remorse as even though I am not losing right now, I have not put on any weight and when can I say that I have lost 40+ pounds in 2 months. I have already at my lowest weight in 23 years. I am almost at my halfway mark. Hang in there.

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 !!!
