I am starting to get discouraged about losing weight. It's been 2 months since my surgery and I feel like this process is taking forever even though I know it's not. I started at 284 and I am now 244. I just feel like that isn't a lot of weight. I am so ready to be below 200 already.

Sorry I had to vent.

40 lbs is a lot of weight to lose in two months. I know it is easy to just want to be done, but just take it one day at a time. Everyone always says this is a marathon, not a sprint, and it is true. Just look at lots of before photos, try on your old clothes that are too big for you, and appreciate where you are headed!

I so agree with both of you I know how you feel that its not coming off fast enough but if you look in the mirror everyday and say you can do this and you look at your body starting to take shape you will.start to see the change and love your self thats what I do

Completely agree-I am three months out today and am -44 pounds-I am in the middle of a stall now and just remind myself everyday about how far I've already come and that this is for life.

40 pounds in two months...let me ask you some questions...

How long did it take you to get to your lightweight?

Have you ever been able to stay on a healthy eating plan for two months?

I think that being impatient and unable to defer my immediate desires is the biggest reason that I got fat in the first place so I do get what you are saying.

I had my surgery.on August 24th 2016in three month I lost 64lbs yhats a start I weighted from.the start 307 now iam down to 242 doctor said that was good .for three months and told .me by next week.I will slow down on losing weight it wont gose as fast as it did from the start but iam still.happy and still.trying we have people helping throw this jounary

I'm impatient as well. I just have to keep reminding myself how far I've already come.
