Ok guys I know we all lose weight at our own pace and yes I do agree with this we all are simply not the same. With that being said I had my surgery January 24th, 2013! And I am down almost 50lbs! Yay I can definitely tell a difference in my clothes. My thing is I am getting more and more frustrated! I feel like I am not losing fast enough! I constantly work out! Cardio and strength exercises. I will stay at the same weight for days! I try to talk to my mom which is my only supporter but she seems to think I am not eating right?? Which is just not true. I'll admit I do take some bites BITES out of something that is not the greatest choice but I am only human I mean really can a BITE hurt this much? Which leads me to think am I a

failure

already? Summer is right around the

corner

and I was so looking forward to theme parks and water parks but I feel like I am still to big

Well thanks for letting me vent a little!

Hon....it's not even been 3 months....right? I mean...when else have you lost 20 pounds a month? You're doing ridiculously good. Sure you want to lose it in the honeymoon period...but you have less stress and more time for your skin to bounce back if it's nice and steady. To lose a pound it takes 3500 calories burned. Maybe it takes your body a few days to do that. I think you're fine. You can't judge yourself for succeeding Which I think you're doing.

Bellasmom, for me, I find there is 7-10 days every single month where I am stalled. I am 6 months post op and it has happened since October. Yes, weight loss in the big picture is a science, but during that stall everything could be equal and I will NOT shed an ounce!! Keep pushing through. It will fall off at its own pace!! Good luck and congrats on FIFTY pounds!!

Thanks girls! I no 50 is great I just had higher expectations I guess!

I had surgery the same day as you and you have me beat by a few pounds. I know that without this surgery i could not say that i have lost 45 pounds. I am 4 pounds away from getting out of the 200's and with that I do know it will be slower weight loss. I think you should just relax and not worry about if your losing enough weight- it didn't come on over night and no matter what we do it wont come off over night either. My favorite saying is "slow and steady win the race," So keep working the program, eating Protein first then veggies and fruit. Get all your liquids in, Vitamins in and some type of exercise and it will all fall into place... Summer is still a few months off so We got this!!!

Wow 50lbs! Celebrate succesa, take failure out of the equation. I wish I was down 50, I'm over two months and only 32lbs. I figure my body has to play catch up and figure out what the new plumbing is all about.. I go for approx a week staying the same and then boom I lose a couple pounds.

This is the first time in my life that I can tell when my period is around...don't give up on yourself! We are stronger than this! I think it is awesome you came here to talk to us about this instead of keeping it in! Great job!
