ok so its only been a week and a half but i can't help but think this isn't gonna work that i am always gonna be fat

Why do you feel this way?

i dont know i just droped 13 lbs and i dont see it

It's normal. I still don't feel like I've dropped as much as I have some days.

I weighed in at the Dr.s office at 227, my weight is now 208 and I am pre op and I don't see it on my body but I see it on the scale! 13 lbs is a bowling ball! It's a lot but spread out all over from head to toe it's not going to show much, keep on going and you will soon see the results.

Keep in mind we are here because we have a lot of weight to lose. You probably won't notice a 13 pound loss. But it does work, be patient. Next thing you will know, you will have lost 50 pounds and you will look in the mirror and see the differences. 13 pounds is excellent in a week and a half. Keep up the great work, but don't get too frustrated when the scale stalls. It will happen, but that doesn't mean the surgery didn't work. You will start losing again after your body adjusts.
