Is This Thing Working?

Ava how are you doing?

I feel like you as I had surgery 10/10 and am only 24 lbs down since surgery and 33 lbs since start of pre-op diet. I tell myself that it is such a small amount for what I've been through. But then I, think how hard it was to lose anything before surgery.

I tell myself to keep to the plan, but that is becoming harder as my appetite is returning.

Two weeks ago I lost 5.7 lbs and was so happy thinking finally I am starting to lose. But last week I gained 3 lbs.

Keep the faith, I am convinced we will make it to a better place in our journey.

Hopefully your doing better now. I've been a slow loser too. Sometimes I go 3 to 4 weeks without losing. Lately it seems my appetite has increased drastically. I'm seriously hungry ever 2 hours or so.

I was sleeved 10/10/ 16
I just don't feel like I'm losing enough weight. Compared to the people I see on my Instagram my progress is disappointing. I know I shouldn't compare myself but it is hard not to when people are posting there updates. I try to be positive and congratulate them but deep down I'm frustrated and envious. I was thinking of deleting my app until I got into a more secure place in my journey.
In the meantime I've reached out to people who are several months out to see if they remember a slow start at the beginning. Some did experience the same but I still feel like an isolated case. A lady also sent me a picture of the average weight loss depending on pre op weight.
While I was deciding on getting surgery I watched a lot of YouTube videos of people who accredited the sleeve for giving them their life back. I guess I'm just nervous that I won't be able to say the same.
Attached is the picture the woman sent me.

Im curious as to what your weight is present time? I was also sleeved 10/10/16.
