Still waiting for my unexpected gift of a 5 pound loss
So it's now been 35 days since my surgery and although happy I've lost weight I'm sensing I'm getting to that place in the "Dieting" plan that I would historically have given up.
I have always had the tendancy to compare my progress with others. I just left the Chat room and learned that another Bandster (male) that had surgery 1 week after mine had lost 35 pounds. He said he's averaging 5 pounds a week. What's wrong with me? I've been fighting to lose 17 pounds in 7 weeks?
I'm very happy for him as I know how much every pound lost means to me but come on... Give me that unexpected gift of a 5 pound loss in one week and I'll do backflips while waving flags for the Fourth of July!
After having my fill of 4cc in a 10cc band I now feel a little restriction and hope that as I introduce solid food back tomorrow I'll feel my band helping me.
I hate the yo-yo feelings about my weight loss as I meant to leave those insecurities behind after deciding on this surgery but I'm learning to take a deep breath and relax.
