Update And Need Some Advise



Recommended Posts

So hey guys How is everyone?

SO surgery happened on January 3rd 2012 and As of about 4 days ago Ive lost 30 pounds. I know this is a huge victory but man I feel as if its not good enough. I keep thinking to myself slow weight loss...... slow.... good.. But yeah I dont know if its my excitement or if im just feeling down on myself.. but still 30 pounds in almost 11 weeks? Any body else? How are you guys doing?

How can 30 pounds in 11 weeks not be enough? Most of us would fall down in disbelief if we loat weight that quickly. Enjoy it, because you will most likely slow down after this initial honeymoon phase.

I mean it is enough.. Its enough for everyone around me to see a difference. I guess its because I havent noticed a difference. I have noticed when people tell me im losing weight how it annoys me now..lmao ( I just hope in another month or so Im all like Yay!!!! * le sigh* I guess I just need to see the difference and not everyone else

yeah 30 pounds that fast is great! but i understand how you say you dont see it but others do. i had a hard time seeing it as well, but when i started seeing it in my clothes falling off, seeing the tendons in my feet and other NSV's it became more real. best wishes on your journey

I have been feeling that way lately also, the first part went quickly however just recently i went for my 2nd fill and i had only lost 5lbs in two weeks. Which was a big slow down for me, I hope this 2nd fill jump starts it again :unsure:

But then it took me 29 yrs to put it on so i guess it can't all come off in 8 weeks :D

Just remember when people say they notice a difference there is one even if we can't see it (I swear I don't see any difference in myself, but that is prob cause i look for one everyday)

Hi apreezy1...are you taking pictures to record your weight loss? I had my surgery on Jan 5th and sometimes feel the same as you until I look at my pictures...only then do I see the difference. Remember this is a slow process, it will come off as long as we do what we are supposed to. Keep up the good work!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
