I know the weight won't melt off. I guess I just expected more from myself. Started at 318 pre op lost 17 lbs 301 day of surgery and today 283... just feel like this isn't a nice huge loss like others. I try not to compare but so hard not too. I'm just ready to really start to feel and notices the difference. I notice some things but it's still like I'm the same in most ways.

I just needed a little vent.i am feeling crazy lately.

Imagine if you had gained 35 lbs from the day of surgery until now.

How would you feel? Would you feel like that was a normal or even moderate weight gain in that time period?

For me, I haven't gained 35 lbs in the past 3 years. I would go up 10 lbs and down 10 lbs and basically stay static. If I suddenly piled on 35 lbs I would have been making a doctor's appt STAT.

I would be surprised if most people did not feel that way but the thing is, you have to be realistic. Not sure when your surgery was but when is the last time you lost this much weight this fast?

You are doing fantastic!!! Slow and steady wins the race.

I was a slow loser. It took me 18 months to lose all of my excess weight. I lost 152lbs. The first 100 came off over 9 months, then next 52 seemed like it took forever....another 9 months.

When i think about it now, it was sooooo fast! My brain did not even have enough time to catch up with my body.

Ya that's what I have to keep in mind ... I had surgery Nov 7th this year...

I just such dramatic changes in other people and I feel that isn't me. I just can't wait to see my hard work pay off I have changed so much to be here.

Congrats on your journey 100 lbs in 9 months is so fast.

Definitely makes sense. I know it seems crazy to think like this but I've made so many changes with myself and diet I can't wait to see the changes in myself !

100 pounds in 9 months is about 11 pounds a month. You have lost 17 pounds in 3 weeks or like 35 pounds in not much more than a month!

Try and be patient.

I was slower than you, and I've lost 218 lbs. Everyone loses at their own rate. Stick to your program and you'll lose the weight - it's pointless to compare yourself to other people.
