Sooooo, I've been on here a a medium amount. Asking questinos, lurking, reading. Even tried to answer a few and be supportive to a few...although it feels that I still have no idea what I'm doing since I'm still new to all this.

Yesterday was my month mark. I started at 242, only had a 1 day liquid diet pre-op plan (so no weight loss before surgery), ......and I have lost 23 pounds in one month.

Now...to me, that totally blows. Because I have read where some people lose 50 pounds in one month.

Should I be happy? Should I be disappointed? I mean, I know everyone is different......but still.

I know I am still pre op so I dont know how much my oppinion counts but... 23 pounds in one month thats awsome!!! when was the last time you lost 23 pounds in one mothe???? Just remember like you said eveyone is different and will loose and different rates, you need to compair your self to your self not to others! Keep you head up stay positive and be happy, you are doing excelent!

I think 23 lbs in one month is an AWESOME start. I lost 20 lbs exactly my first month post op.

Wow 23 lbs. is awesome! I'm so happy for you! I can't wait to say that :-)

WOW 23lbs sounds great to me...I cant wait. I have lost 3 so far in one week just playing around witht the protien drink thing. I actually havent been hungry at all with the drinks until around 6 at night,then i feel like i have to eat, so i do! I have a high protien supper and stop when i get full. I know I have a lot to go, but I fell like I have gotten some positive feedback from my body about this. Im ready to get control of it instead of it controling me. exactly 2 weeks from today it will be mine,

I think 23 pounds in one month is excellent. I've just started my journey and am a heavyweight. I will be very very happy to lose 23 pounds in a month. So rejoice in the pounds you have lost.:thumbup: Best wishes for next month.

Thanks for the support everyone. I don't want people to think I'm complaining or something similar to that. I have watched all sorts of videos on YouTube and they have all seemed to lose so much more than me. But....to be fair....they weighed much more than me. So...who knows. I'm just glad that I am 23 pounds lighter. I want to lose 20 pounds in the next month.
