Surgiversary 8/27/12 @ 255lbs (Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk)

Last week when I checked I was down 15lbs. Weighing in again tomorrow...I've been really lazy with the exercise which I know is a no-no, but went walking/jogging yesterday and today. Gotta keep motivated somehow.

My surgery was also 27 and I was down 14 lbs. but just like always with me, I've managed to gain most of that back. I don't get it, everyone kept telling me the weight was going to just "fall off". Ok...well I'd like to know when. I'm so frustrated and very annoyed at myself. I'm still having pain so still on pain meds and can't yet excersize. But I honestly don't understand how somebody can eat so little and not loose or even gain weight. I saw my surgeon on Thursday of last week and he didn't seem concerned, just said that some people loose in different ways, that I should be patient and just get through the recovery phase. This just all seems so wrong to me, I'm so dissapointed and wish I never put my body through all this. Sorry, just venting.

I'm glad your doing well, please keep posting pic's, you look great!

You have gained weight since surgery?? Are you eating solids? How many calories per day? Drinking enough Water?

Hey Kerrie I know what u mean, I actually expected to lose more by now. I tend to compare myself to everyone else. I have a friend who had the surgery almost 2 yrs ago and she lost almost 40 pounds the first month! I spoke to her this week and told her I had only lost 15 so far. She said as most people do that everyone is different and we're still healing so we shouldn't be so hard on ourselves. I'm sure once we're working out and feeling better we'll be able to lose more. But I'm hanging in there with you!!!

Hi Kerrie Ann

I was on the 27th too. Only down 13 pounds since surgery. I am so frustrated. Following the diet and walking and getting 80 grams of Protein and 64 oz of liquids. Saw surgeons last week and they were not concerned. Said some lose fast and some slower. He said that I will all of a sudden see a rapid loss in a couple of weeks. I go back to work on Monday and I am scared that since I haven't had a big loss that I wont once I am back at work.

Everyone has there own journey though and everyone's body is different. But...it's only been 2.5 weeks and I can bet even all the Water weight and swelling isn't gone. You're body needs time to heal. While healing it will sometimes retain Fluid to do so. If you're sipping your water and getting the right amount of Protein in......the weight will come off. Oh I know all too well how we can't help looking at how everyone else is doing and comparing ourselves but, it's a terrible path. It really is true that each journey is different. I'm a notorious slow loser on any diet so the doubt is hard to push away but, as my surgeon said....if you're following the eating and exercise plan, I've never seen it not work. I trusted her with my life during surgery so I trust her words now.

Take it easy on yourself....be kind to yourself......and most of all be patient. YOU are SO worth YOUR effort! Go for it!

Hugs

My surgery was on the 27 also

Hi 8/27 surgery buddies! I just wanted to thank all of you for you kind words of support. This is a journey and many of you are correct in saying my body needs time to heal and that it takes time to loose weight. I truly appreciate each on of your comments. At this time I'm trying to pay less attention to the weight loss number and my scale and more attention to getting in my protein and fluids. Again thank you all.

I too am losing slow or should I say not at all...Im 4 weeks out and only lost 18lbs! Im going thru a bad stall then I gain a few pounds then go back to pre-stall weight only to stall again...depending on the day I'm either 8 or 10 pounds away from onederland and it's frustrating as hell but I have faith that it will start coming off soon...you have to have that same faith! If we don't give up , eat right n exersice it will eventually start coming off again!
