So I am 4 days post op and I am feeling really guilty. I keep reading all these posts from people who are losing mass amounts of weight and I feel like I should be out there running marathons and exercising to the point of exhaustion. I walked around the block once tonight with my husband and we did it fairly quickly and thought that was an accomplishment but now im not feeling that way at all. I have been adhering to my liquid diet and I guess im just worried that I will not lose weight like everyone else is doing. Am I the only one who feels this way or am I alone in this boat? I want to be successful at this since I went through the surgery and made a conscious effort to change my life. I just dont think I can dedicate as much time as some people do to working out. I have 6 children that keep me busy as it is. Sigh. I feel like im just being lazy and it's making me feel very bad about myself.

15Lbs Down Already But You Can't Even Tell :(

I am one week post op today. As of today I am 15lbs down from the beginning of my pre-op. To most, that would be quite an accomplishment but to me, I feel totally depressed. I took pictures the night before surgery and took pictures again tonight, 15lbs down and you can not even tell the difference. When will I finally be able to see even a fraction of a difference. I don't like to look in the mirror and I detest taking pictures because I know exactly what I am going to see...Jaba the Hut. I just want to be beautiful and thin again instead of this monstrosity I see in front of me. I know it will happen because I am working hard and following my doctor's orders but I can't help but want to see results now. Patience was never my strong point.
