im gonna cry!

but 9/6 is only 3 days ago.  that's normal.  the folks here are talking 4-6 weeks with that kind of loss.

Hang in there, folks!  I know it's going to be okay.  Our bodies have been assaulted and now they're healing.  I haven't lost a lot either, but man, I feel SO much better than after surgery and right now, I'll take that over more weight loss!!  I trust my body knows what it's doing.  All we can control is what we eat and how much we move.  I *know* we will be smaller if we keep eating on plan. 

I was sleeved on August 1st and didn't loose anything the first week. I had read that might happen because of swelling, etc.  I also hit a stall between weeks 3 and 5.  My NUT said the same thing many of you are saying...I don't have as much to lose so the body wants to go slow.  I do get frustrated butI have noticed that I am losing inches, even when the scale isn't moving. I don't measure but I can see it.

Hang in there everyone.  The sleeve is only a tool to help us but it is not magic.  Slower weight loss is better for our bodies in the long-run.  I hoping for less sagging skin (LOL).

Can we form a support group?? I am in the SAME boat I am trying so hard not to focus on it, but it is very discouraging to sit at the same weight. I lost the first week, and haven't dropped a pound since!

Hi,
 I was sleeved on the same date and am considered a light weight too... and so far I have lost 24.1 lbs. ( 10 of which was pre-op) so we are in the same boat but I realized that the sleeve is just a tool and that we have to still diet to loose this weight and it will just be a bit easier as we won't have the hunger or the capacity anymore.
Don't get discouraged ( I know easy to say!).... it WILL come off. Just stick to the plan. You'll see.
I know that all my clothes are feeling loose and I am feeling great. I can see my toes and I haven't weighed this weight in 6 years so things are looking up each day. Try a day of just liquids again to give yourself a push...

I posted a similar post earlier this week Its really hard. I was sleeved on Aug 22, but cant tell you now if Im loosing or not because My scale is still at my daughters house. and it has helped Im not as anxious I feel like Im loosing so Im not a slave to the scale, it really does help. put the scale away for a while and listen to your body. youll feel better. hang in there it has got to happen for us all!!......hugs

I was sleeved on 3/1/11 and have lost about 70lbs, however I have not really lost anything for about 3 months now and I am very scared and discouraged. I am not considered a light weight and I still have such long way to go. I can pretty much eat anything and this scares me also. I know we can't give up and alot of our issuses are mental, but I was so hoping for more. You are still early out and I am sure it will start coming off quickly for you soon. I am not so sure about me.
