It feels like I am losing very slowly...July-->October only 4 lbs... <_<

I guess this is why skinny people get so happy when they lose 5 lbs...it gets damn hard after awhile.

THIS IS CONSIDERED SLOW?????? I would think you are right on target, or even a fast loser!!! And this is another reason I hate going on these boards where people who have lost 70 pounds "vent" about slow weight loss!!!!!!!! Really??????

I'm so glad everyone has started using the thread. I consider that I am a slow loser in comparison to the rest of the may sleevers who have lost 60+ pounds.

I am floating around 204-200lbs and have lost 41lbs. I was sleeved may 7th and seriously feel like I'm lagging behind everyone else especially now that I'm coming out of a 6 week stall. I get annoyed, frustrated and upset all the time. Everyone speaks about how good things are and I am seriously fighting to loose a pound.

I think my issue is that I wasnt drinking Water. I know that's dumb but it's what I did. I started drinking water on Saturday and I think the scale is moving. Not by much but at this rate I'll take anything. My official Weighin date isn't till Friday though So I won't know for sure till then.

I am a May sleever. What is your definition of a slow loser?

How has your journey been so far?

In comparison to the rest of the May sleevers who have lost between 50-70lbs I consider anything less than 45 a slow loser. But that's my opinion!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
