“Ugh... I can't tell you how many times I felt like a POS for failing a diet... “
I remember at my first psych appointment my psychologist said “You didn’t fail the diets….the diets failed you.”
You’re doing fabulously, Bill!!

I started out much heavier than you - 373 lbs - and lost 16 lbs the first month and 12 lbs the second. Rate of weight loss depends on so many factors, many of which you have little to no control over (e.g., age, gender, % of muscle you have, starting BMI, etc). If you stick to your program, keep active, and the weight is trending downward, then you're good!

Ugh... I can't tell you how many times I felt like a POS for failing a diet... Too many to count. You are 100% right! Thank you for the encouragement!

Thanks Tek. We are actually the same height, 6 foot 4! And that's what I have had to do over the past few... Put myself in check and scale my expectations. So long as the numbers are going down and not up I am happy!

Hi all! Just wanted to introduce myself. I am a few days short of my two month post op anniversary (RNY). So far I have lost 66lbs (starting weight 470, highest weight 515). I am still on the chopped diet but I have been working in whole foods here and there. Still playing the "what's going to stay down" game, but enjoying the journey so far! I was kind of expecting a little more weight loss at this point but hell, any is better than none! I have hit a few stalls in the process but nothing longer than a few days. I look forward to "meeting" some of you!
