Losing motivation

I just need to vent. I feel like I'm just starting to lose motivation. I'm eating correctly and I exercise daily and the scale isn't budging. I am 1-month post op and the scale didn't move for me this week and it's making me wonder why I'm putting in all of this effort and not losing weight. I understand this time is for healing still, but I can't help but be discouraged and bummed out... I mean, I am human. I track all of my food on MFP so I'm aware of what I'm eating, but I just don't get it. :(

    You've only been banded a month and you've been on this site long enough to know that it's not going to fly off. Just be patient. (I know, patience is not one of my virtues either)

    Well if one week is getting you this upset, you may be in for a rude awakening! Unfortunately, plateaus happen. It's just crazy! I do not post on here much, but when I read you may be losing motivatio

You are doing great! Don't give up. :)

I totally understand. I had my first full 2.5 weeks ago and have only lost 5 pounds. It's discouraging and then I make bad food choices.

Oh no!! Don't make bad food choices!! Use another outlet to deal with your emotions! You can do it! At least the scale moved for you! Imagine how much more it will move of you make better good choices?! Best of luck!!
