slow losers discouraged?

Sleeved on 2-18 too. I'm down 46 lbs total including pre-op. Our stats are pretty close. You look great!

I am nearly three years out now and I too am/was a slow loser. I don't make my original goal (my personal one or my surgeon's) BUT I have lost 78lbs and KEPT IT ALL OFF! No regain, no worries!

Don't stress the small stuff... you are only 10 weeks into this new life! It will happen... remember the sleeve has no expiry date.

I will make goal one day, I'm in no rush now, I was at one stage! But I know that I will NEVER return to being morbidly obese and suffer the consequences of that...

Keep up the good work, and remember, slow but sure wins the race!

What were your stats if you don't mind me asking!

Sure sweetie!

I am 52

5' 2"

Starting weight 220

Lost 13 on pre op so surgery weight was 207 Surgery was March 6th. Almost 10 weeks out.

As of this morning I am 178.7

My first goal was to lose 10% (22 lbs) 198

Second goal was another 10% (19.8) 178.8

Next goal is 10% ) 17 and when I hit that my self reward is gonna be big! Don't know what yet but open to suggestions!

Edited: I forgot, I was self pay and it was the best money I ever spent on my health!

I am determined to be patient. As long as I follow my nutritional guidelines, the weight has no choice but to come off so I will try and listen to my body, it won't fail me.

Keep up the great work, you really are very inspiring!
