  1. I'll be 4 months post-op this week. Down 50 lbs, loads of inches, several sizes. I've been too busy celebrating my victories to notice I "only" dropped 4 lbs this past month. Proud of myself for not getting frustrated and focusing on the gains, not the scale! Working the program and its working for me. A little anxious that some say the honeymoon period only lasts 6 months and I'm closing in on that. I hope I have the strength to maintain my new habits as things get harder, as quite frankly this has been so easy for me so far. Ahhh so many changes! But life is good! Thanks BP for providing a place to vent and teaching me so much.

      If/when your rate of loss slows more than you'd like, remind yourself of your current pride in not caving in to frustrations. Here's a wise quote I found: "...focusing on the gains, not the scale!" Let that carry you all the way.

      My surgeon informed me that it was really the 6- 12 month period (maybe longer-can't recall) that was the true honeymoon phase. Shocked the heck out of me when he said that! Yes, we see big drops those first 6 months, but after, it is your work, eating and using your tool that makes the biggest impact on loss- your body is no longer doing it on its own but you in CONJUNCTION with the surgery.

       

      You are rocking this!!!!
