Okay, take a breath. The weight will come off, but not in a couple of weeks time. You are just post op and your body is swollen and trying to adjust to the trauma of surgery. During the surgical case they give you IV Fluid and you are going to get rid of that soon as well. Please be patient. I went through the same thoughts/feelings and it is much better now. You will go through plateaus and stalls when your body is trying to keep up with the loss. The three week stall is infamous, but it does get better. I'm 5 weeks out next Monday and still learning. I remember how I felt when I was where you are and I thought if I had to drink one more Protein anything I would choke someone. . Take one day at a time. It gets better and there are a ton of ppl on here who have been there and will listen/encourage you. I'm keeping you in my prayers that this will turn around soon for ya.

My mother managed to really, really hurt me today. She went off and told people about my surgery and how she felt about it. (Not positive mind you). I was so hurt and embarrassed...quite humiliated. So what did I do? I went home and attempted to over eat. Stuffing my feelings about her betrayal just like all the hundreds of times I have felt as though she has thrown me under the bus for the sake of juicy gossip.
But (here's the good part) I stopped. I picked up the phone and very nicely but firmly told her that she hurt me, made me feel humiliated and embarrassed. I asked her to please never discuss my issues with anyone else and if I wanted to disclose information that it would be up to me to do so. She apologized (tears and all...this is a way for her to keep me from speaking my truth) and I accepted. And I thanked her for listening and accepted her apology. And then I felt better. I didn't need to eat anymore because I dealt with her in a constructive, positive way. And that is for me, a victory!
