Getting dicourages

[MyGoodThang 9]

I was sleeved in February. I've lost 50 pounds since surgery 65 pounds all together but physically I can't tell a difference. Clothes still fit pretty much the same. It's depressing I thought things would be happening faster. Does anyone else have this issue?

Please hang in there. Try not to be too hard on yourself. I guarantee you that others see if much more than you do. BUT don't count on people to praise you for it. Some will but some won't, honestly due to jealousy (& maybe other reasons they have). You may want to start measuring your inches to have another way to look at it. You've lost a lot of weight thus far. Keep pushing to lose even more if that's your goal & don't look back. Success is yours.

Thankfully, this forum will give you encouragement & praise, though. Everyone hear is very good with that. Very uplifting. :-)

The smaller you get, the less pounds it takes to notice changes.

When I was 320lbs, it took me a good 45 lb loss to see changes (and for others to notice). So since you started at 360ish, I'm honestly not surprised that you aren't noticing changes (but they are occurring and it is doing your body good internally!!).

Hang in there! I bet in another 15 - 20 lbs you'll start to notice, and the smaller you get, the easier the changes will be noticed. Keep going!!

First congratulations on your loss!. A 50 lb loss in the first two - three months is somewhat above average for most people having this surgery. If I could ask, what was your expectation at this point? I ask this a lot from folks that post similar and it is rare that I get an answer. I really am curious what you thought you would weigh two months out. Did you talk to your surgeon to see where he thought you would be? Again great job on the loss, I would not be "dicouraged" if i were you.

I just paid attention to how terribly wrong I spelled discouraged. Lol

I didn't have a particular goal but I did think that I'd be seeing more changes in myself by now
