Feeling Discouraged

I had my surgery Sept. 12, 2012. I've had 2 fills and it feels like I haven't even had surgery. I've only lost 13 pounds and I lost that right after surgery. The difference I do notice is I'm not hungry all the time like before surgery which. That is a good feeling. I am exercising, but obviously I'm NOT doing something right because I'm not losing weight. I was doing the 30/30 rule of no liquids, but I can't tell a difference when I don't drink for 30 minutes before and after eating so sometimes I don't follow the rule.

Please share if you had this happen to you. Thank you.

Annette

Dreamer, you assume correctly. However, before the green zone you will spend some time in Bandster Hell where you seem to be hungrier than pre surgery. We have one forum member who's slogan is: Until there's restriction, it's just another diet.

So, for most of us, it was still a diet for the first several months. You may be one of the lucky ones?
