Nineteen pounds in 6 weeks might feel frustrating, but is perfectly respectable. It averages out to just over 3 pounds a week. Your body is likely in shock, depending on how much weight you had to lose, and won't give up another pound until it adjusts.

You're fine. We need to adjust our expectations sometimes, because if you think about it, at any other point, you'd probably be celebrating your loss, not being unhappy about it.

There will be ups and downs, stops, starts and stalls on this journey. You're off to a great start. You're just ready to go and eager to see changes. Go easy on your body. In no time at all, you'll be down your first fifty, and buying new clothes. It's truly insane how fast this transformation goes, even with genuinely slow losers, like me.

Your life is about to change. Hold on to your hat.

I'm sure your doctor will be pleased with your progress.

When I first decided to have the surgery I had messaged a plus size model who I knew went through it and I mean of course I didn't think she'd message me back but she did and she gave me the best advice I could've asked for she said "prepare to lose friends, you are trying to better yourself not just your health but your mind and a lot of people don't want that for you they want you to stay the fat friend they don't want you to get better and once you get that confidence boost they can't handle seeing you happy" once she said that it rang in my head everyday how people only want you around when they feel they are doing better than you but no one wants to be happy for your success all I say is focus on you love those who love and support you

Has anyone else noticed any relationships being lost? People that you never thought would back away? Your success makes them feel more insecure about themselves and you might lose pounds/ inches but the you find that the people closest to you become an emotional weight dragging you down?
