This rain is making me melancholy

Down 14 since day of surgery almost a month ago. Not even 15 lbs yet.

 

It's coming off. I see the lbs loss and I see some inches. I'm exercising, focusing on protein and liquids. I'm full after mere bites. It's working.

 

But...

 

Can I be underwhelmed and happy at the same time?

 

Meh.

 

If the first couple of months is the 'best' a person will lose, I fear for what month six will look like. I feel like I am ALREADY working for every pound.... just like normal. I don't mind working for it. I expected the sleeve to help a little more.

 

It does seem to be picking up, but what happens is... I'll have a drop and then it'll bounce back up for about 5 days. And then drop. And bounce again. Annoying.

 

I don't want hugs or advice. Don't tell me not to weigh so much. FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE if you tell me 'it doesn't come off like it comes on' I will hunt you down and slap you. That isn't what I'm saying at all... don't reduce my experience to that.

 

Just...... venting.

 

And now I'm done. I just had to get that out.

Wow I agree!! 6 weeks out from surgery. Have lost 30 lbs since surgery. It is a struggle. I'm not sure why I thought this would be easy,but it definitely is not. I'm sure I would feel better if the sun would come out. Currently 2 weeks with no sun, UHG!!

Nope, not going to tell you all the things one already knows. Keep venting and coming back to support groups. I love my journal and write often and find that it is a catharsis allowing me to vent too.
