I’m 3.5 months post surgery, can you see a difference?

I can see what you might trigger on to think not much has changed. But I can also see the signs that the changes are real.

See if you can can go back and forth in focus. Maybe you can realize when you are down how your focus is stealing the pleasure of your progress! Congratulations!

Focusing on the aspects of my progress and what I want to do next is helping me minimize my down periods. [emoji4]

FYI, I am 65 and my surgery was 12/30/2022. Not that long ago but I dropped 40 lbs in the year before surgery and constantly struggled with the feeling that nothing worthwhile was happening.

Noticing my negative focus on what hadn't changed and then deliberately looking for evidence that my progress was real helped me not give up.

Since surgery 21 days ago I have dropped an additional 20 lbs. I look in the mirror but I don't see it. But I have more energy, feel better physically, and have fewer weight related pain. The progress is real. I just have to remind myself what to look at when I am tempted to be discouraged. [emoji4]
