1-2nd month breakdowns

After my 3rd week post op, I started feeling upset that I wished the weight would come off quicker. But I lost 32.5 lbs in 1 month exactly from my surgery date on December 17, but I guess my breakdown was that I'm going through so much, I'm working so hard at my new me, I felt like I was not noticing an "amazing change" and other people haven't notice or just don't compliment.

I was thinking I'm being selfish and psycho about it since, I have been just trying harder with this diet because it takes time. ( I wish the weight disappears instantly)

Another hypersensitive note: I'm feeling a difference now 2 weeks later from my breakdown. The compliments are here and there and the attention feels great. The weight loss isn't for other people but everyone deserves the attention and compliments on your performance.

  • Selfish and psycho are not words that come to mind. I can totally understand the impatience! Maybe someday someone will invent the medical technology that will allow us to lose all the excess weight o

:) Selfish and psycho are not words that come to mind. I can totally understand the impatience! Maybe someday someone will invent the medical technology that will allow us to lose all the excess weight overnight. But for now, you lost 32.5 lbs in 1 month exactly. Say those words aloud! 32.5 lbs in 1 month! That's absolutely incredible! 32.5 lbs. Gone! Forever! Congratulations! Just keep after it, and enjoy the ride. People who see you every day might not notice as much because you're losing consistently and they see you all the time.

People who you haven't seen in a while will have their minds blown :lol:

Thank you for your encouragement . Yes during the holidays, I started week 2 (strained cream of chicken) the day my family was eating a 16 lb prime rib!

It's amazing congrats on your success you are an inspiration :) a lot of times it doesn't seem like we r losing weight but think about it like an average person with diet and exercise lose an average of 2 lbs a week so you are doing great I'm proud of you. I am sure we all would love to see before and after pics for motivation if that's k with you :)
