Hello I'm Lupe and I think i've hit rock bottom. I had surgery 6/19, I had lost 18 lbs.... But I checked my weight tonight and I went up 3lbs. I am so disappointed. I hate feeling like this, o have to go back to work soon and everyone found out about me getting this done! I even have received text from friends at work saying they can't wait to see me, like when I come back to work I'll be thin! I have until the 25th to lose weight, but I feel so much pressure. I have a friend that had it done in November and lost 101lbs! So do they think I will be like her! Plus I have to move to a smaller place to save $. I know I should suck it up and get over myself, I know there are worst things happening to others and I should thank the Lord. I just need some advice and some cheering up!

The first six weeks you are healing. Its SO important. My advice would be to be good to yourself and give it time. Eat healthy, exercise and rest. It takes a while to get your head wrapped around the changes you are going through. That was one of the hardest things for me to do.

I can only weigh once a week, or I'll drive myself crazy. I weigh only in the morning:) Do all the things the nutritionist says: Drink water; Do not drink when you eat; Begin your day with protein; Exercise; Lean meats and veggies. Its not easy, but, I know you can do it!
