And I'm totally irked. 5 weeks post op and have only lost 24lbs. Feel as if all of this was for nothing. I'm so disappointed!!

You're certainly welcome Milan. Stay committed to getting active and you'll find a way! I walk in a park near my home and I see folks walking with little people all the time - usually the little guys are in something with wheels. Lol. Have a great day!

Thx DL everyone seems to have similar issues. I have noticed some people get more support from nt and their docs. I called for mine twice no response. This forum is my source of support. Use concerned how to manage exercises with a 3 yr old.she in daycare during day when i am. Its hard to take her with me to walk early or evenings. In sure something will go off in my head. I use your ideas

Hi Milan dnt stress tomorrow I'll be a month post-op and only down 15lbs but I've had a little set backs and was unable to exercise right away. I have a 5 and 3 year old and my fave exercise is to put some music on and we all dance around they love it and it doesn't really feel like exercising but I do break a sweat Goodluck!

Hey Jess929 every little bit of exercise counts no matter what it is good to have the kids doing it too!

I had not thought of these options. Get my head out of the sand, huh??? Im down to 289 from 329 surgery day 7/30. I'm motivated and exhausted at the same time. I'm thankful there are people who can help here. Like the wheels idea...

I know what you mean!!! Well its just I have tried for two days now to call Amy and left message and no call back ugh. I feel my life is hanging by a thread until I hear she got everything submitted

I think one of the worse things we can do is compare our weightloss with everyone elses. I agree with DL.....how do you feel, 5 pounds a week is unreal compared to diets we've all been on before this surgery. You're doing awesome!

I human too and it's so natural to want to compare or check out the losses. When I find myself doing that....I change it up and remind myself this isn't a race, this is my life....and I'm going to do the best I can. I can't see the finish line yet but, I sure know I'm going in the right direction

Keep up the great work!

24 pounds in five weeks is almost five pounds a week. When was the last time you lost five pounds a week? Do you really want to lose 10' date=' 15, or 20 lbs a week? Not healthy, not realistic, and not sustainable. Maintain five pounds a week for six months and you'll be almost 150 lbs lighter! This is a journey, not a marathon. And it starts with realistic expectations. You're doing absolutely great! Celebrate your success! Stay focused on following the protocol, stay active, and stay away from the scales for a week and even two if you can stand it. You're gonna love the new you!![/quote']

Well said..I luv this!!! Great Advice!
