karen74 27 Posted June 21, 2012 Its now been a week and a half and I haven't stepped on a scale, but I feel like this isn't working for me. I lost 97 pounds pre op and now kind of feel like I expected so much more by this point. Is it normal to feel like I have failed already? I'm kind of depressed. 2 cissiesue and pebbles99 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pebbles99 10 Posted June 21, 2012 i haven't been sleeved yet, but from what I've read on this site, everyone is different with the speed in which they lose. But you can be sure, that you WILL lose the weight and you are HIGHLY unlikely to gain it back. So enjoy those thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are ALREADY a success!! You are going to rock the sleeve! I was sleeved on the 12th as well. I lost 10.2 pounds so far. I get on the scale every morning. I am addicted. Yesterday I didn't lose anything and this morning I only lost the .2, but I am moving down. Maybe not as fast as some, but it is definitely going in the right direction. I wouldn't worry about not losing anything. I don't see how you can't. 1 sabstar22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

melissaotrl 3 Posted June 22, 2012 i was sleeved on the 13th and I feel exactly the same. Including pre-op I have lost 25lbs but was still feeling down and out and defeated but our bodies are going through a change and it will come off! I was sleeved on the 13th and am in the same boat. I get up and get on the scales and am like, REALLY??? I have only lost about 12 lbs and it seems like after what little I am eating, it should be more than that. Anyway, I go to the dr on Monday and look forward to talking to the nutritionist and going over everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
