Wow, I was just feeling the same way today. I had surgery on Jan. 8,10 and I did lose 18lbs all together (since 12-26-09 until now) but I don't see it at all and I even feel bigger some days. But after reading some of your post I think I might feel better. I know it will take some time and I can not compare to others. Sometimes I don't feel full but I still only eat a cup full of food. I drink a protein drink in the morning, two hours later I have a snack (which is either 100 or 60 cal.), two hours after that I eat my lunch, two hours after that I have another snack then two hours later I have dinner and two hours after that is my last snack. I try to work out three times a week. But with a full time job, a two year old, a husband, shool and studying it can get hard sometimes to workout like i want to. I will work hard just like many of you have done and I will lose the weight just as we all will do.
