Excited Now That I Am Over The Discouragement!!

My last post stated I went to the Dr on Friday and had only lost 5 pounds since surgery which was very disappointed. Although I was very fustrated I am now feeling better. :biggrin: I have only lost 5 pounds since surgery I have lost a total of 18 pound over the last 2 1/1 months. That is a big accomplishment considering I have not weighed this much in 13 years. I have begun my strenght training and I am very sore today. I have re-set my expectations to more achievable goals. So hopefully now I will continue to lose the wieght even if it is small amounts and will be satified with every pound.:confused: I expected to much to begin with. My new goal...To set realistic goals and to expect realistic results:redface:.

KEEP POSITIVE THOUGHTS - TRY NOT TO LET DISAPPOINTMENT ENTER INTO YOUR MIND. YOU WILL SUCCEED, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR WEIGHT- BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF, FOLLOW YOUR DIET, AND KEEP WORKING OUT - EVERYTHING WILL FALL INTO PLACE! GOOD LUCK- BEST WISHES!

Thank you for your encouraging words. I am trying now to be patient and to understand my body as well as my band. It is definately not what was expected. Thank You again.

I was banded on 1/27 and I have had my share of impatient moments. But if you just keep thinking positively and make good choices when you can (we ALL make bad choices...just can't let them derail you), it will happen. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for your kind words and I think I am back on track mentally and physically. I went through the depression phase really bad for several days, but back on top of the game. I feel much better. I love the protien concentrates (grape, tropical punch, & orange) I'm pratically living on these things LOVE THEM!
