DEFECTIVE SLEEVE?????

[Wheetsin 714]

...if I my sleeve does not work properly. Also it does not take me an hour or even half an hour to eat half a cup of Soup or half a cup of milk....AND I'm noticing i"m not losing as fast as others. I'm at 2 weeks out and have only lost 12 pounds and am already in my first stall. What is up! Am I paranoid or should I call my surgeon?

First - take a few deep breaths and calm down.

There's not much way for a sleeve to not work. It would be like removing your fingers, but being worried that you still had a firm grip.

I know that comparing yourself to others is probably automatic, but you just can't do it with weightloss. When I had my AGB I lost 40 - 50 lbs my first month. Another girl who had it done around the same time, who was larger than me, lost 12. You just can't use other bodies as a benchmark for your own.

If you're 2 weeks out, you're not in a stall. And even if you were, it's pretty common to "stall" (there's a difference between a short period of time during which you don't lose pounds, and to actually stall) around week 3. It will probably happen again in about 2 more months.

12 lbs in 2 weeks is never an "only". That's about a pound a day. How much do you expect?

You are fine and 12lbs is A LOT of weight.

True! 12 pounds is my whole dog!
