How much have you lost with the sleeve ?
Hi Y'all
I was sleeved 9-6-12 and I am not not sure why today I just started having doubts or second guessing about my sleeve and if I will ever really loose all this weight.... I have lost 58 lbs 1/3 of the weight I need to loose , I am not sure why today I am filled with doubt ... any how chime in How much have you lost ?
I am 3 weeks out from surgery and have lost 24 pounds!! whoohoo! I am beginnning to get my energy back too.Cant wait to lose enough to go out shopping for some new clothes.
You are doing awesome! No doubt about it! My surgery was exactly one month before yours. I don't weigh until tomorrow. I only weigh on Mondays so I don't lose my mind! But as of last monday which was 11 weeks post-op I had lost 39 lbs. Only 3 of that was pre-op...so 36 lbs. That is about 1/3rd of the weight I need to lose...in 11 weeks...actually 10 weeks since the scale at 11 weeks was the same as 10 weeks. You did that in 8 weeks. AMAZING!
It doesn't always feel real to me either and there are many times that I have my doubts. The scale didn't move at all for last weeks weigh in. It's scary when that scale doesn't move. You know that everyone has stalls at some point, but there is always that doubt that messes with your head and makes you wonder if you will ever get to goal. I really hope there is a different story tomorrow.
Keep your eye on the big picture. You are doing great!
You can do this - your sleeve is working (you have 58 lbs evidence!) I have (to this point - I'm not done yet) just short of 150 lbs. My personal goal is to lose 200 lbs total - so I'm almost 3/4 of the way there at 16 months out. It is slow going now, but I'm doing it. If you think you can - you can. If you think you can't - you won't...
