over 300lbs?

Okay, prior to surgery I was 337lbs. I stumbled across this app while I was looking up some questions I had. I appreciate the support but it bugs me to see posts about how people were 200-250 and so fat and miserable blah blah blah. HELLOOOO try being over 300lbs. Maybe I'm just jealous that I let myself get this big before I took action. And going on 6 weeks out down 30lbs I should be so happy but from day one all I can think is what a mistake this was. I hate Greek yogurt now and cottage cheese is nasty. I can't try a salad for another 3 freaking weeks and even then what's the point because after adding salad dressing and whatever it won't be good for me anyway. I don't know what to eat. I dread meal times and snacks. Protein shakes make me wanna vomit! I just hate every part of this decision I made. I WANT FOOD!

    I started at 308 BMI was over 50. I am a normal BMI and lost 150# I never regretted the surgery AT ALL, but it wasn't always easy. You need to keep your eye on the prize, remember why you did this.

  • I too felt irritated hearing the complaints at lower weights until I reminded myself we are all different, and weight affects each one of us differently. You have to take into account someone's heig

I realize everyone is different. The weekend is always the worst for me. It is just so much easier to deal during the week because I work full time, have recently started going back to school, and I have a two year old. Thank goodness he loves all the healthy food. Thank you to everyone for the encouraging words and putting my thoughts into perspective. Hoping my next post is a rave. =/
