Today is exactly 1 month for me and I am down 20 lbs. I feel kinda blah about that. I was definitely expecting more. Most of the weight loss came the first week I lost 12 lbs. So it has been really slow weight loss after that. I thought I understood this whole process but I guess I don't. I am feeling discouraged at the moment. Sorry to ramble along.

I know, I'm very blessed. I hit my 20 something like a week post-op. I will readily admit that 7 of those pounds were put on between my final weigh in (320) and the day of surgery (327) over the course of about 5 days. I ate what I wanted and had a gluttony day with my friends because I had hit my necessary weight on my final weigh in and my weigh in the day of surgery didn't matter.

I lost 20 my first week, too, but I am well aware that is because I started this process more out of shape than the average person. ☹️

Even though its fast now, I expect slow and steady to be my mantra.

Also, like others, I weigh myself daily. It keeps me on track to remember I have a lot more work to do!
