I'm having lots of mixed feelings the past few days. 12 days post op and just not happy but at the same time I am happy??. Food was literally my everything and now that I can't eat foods I want I feel like I lost a best friend. I've lost 10 pounds so far but I feel like I should be losing more? I'm scared anxious excited mad and depressed. All I want to do is sit on my couch.(I just went back to work today) To make it worse it's -20 degrees out.

Mita, I find that keeping busy and forgetting the scale is a great way to take my focus off one pound or two. Just follow your plan, change your habits, and voila! You will be successful. It is not good to obsess on the big picture and want too much too fast. I promise you that in a few months you will be so happy as you watch yourself emerge as a beautiful butterfly and you will not regret this. Best wishes! We ARE your support! One day at a time!
