2 month surgiversary/sleeveaversary

[sbg224 318]

Well here I am 2 months today since getting the sleeve, where does the time go. I remember debating over this, mostly with myself for over 3 years, before deciding to do it. I must say, I have told anyone and everyone, and not one person has been unsupportive. I had someone tell me yesterday I looked great and they were jealous they have not had the nerve to do it, felt good, I gotta admit.

I am still disappointed in my slow weight loss, and even the surgeon unexpectedly called me yesterday, and said he knew at the last appointment I was upset the weight loss was so slow, but he still thinks slow and steady is best. I am down 22lbs since surgery, and 37 lbs with preop. I thought I would be about 10lbs more by now. I am doing all I can, I do not stray from the plan. I am trying to up the Protein, and the Water. I also signed with a trainer, as recommended by the doc, to start strength training. I love reading this forum, it really helps and I try to read some each day. Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement through some other posts I made regarding the slow weight loss. Hopefully I will catch up to those who seem to lose alot faster then I am, and as the doc said, 11lbs a month is good, and in 1 year, that will be too much. I will keep reading and posting, best therapy out there. Good luck to everyone on their journey.

Keep that head up and keep forging ahead!!

Keep doing the right thing and making the right choices and the weight loss will come.

Everyone losses at a different pace.

Congrats @@sbg224!!!

My two month anniversary is tomorrow. Have lost 26 pounds since surgery. Of course I wish I'd lost more. However let's remember we probably shouldn't compare ourselves to others, even though it's so tempting.

If we follow the rules about food, hydration and exercise, we will eventually attain our goals, right?

After 6 months of pre-op requirements, it's sometimes difficult to be patient after surgery too. This excess weight has been with me for many years. I just keep telling myself to do this one step at a time although I'd love to find a shortcut!
