almost 2 months post op. need some encouragement
nanabanana posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
so lately ive been feeling a little discouraged. im almost 2 months post op and its been about three weeks that i got back from my trip meaning that im no longer getting help with my meal plans and routine as i had been during my first month recovery. now im doing this all by myself and i gotta say its damn hard. ive been failing to keep up with my Water intake and my Protein im trying the best that i could. now being back into my regular routine back home its like i dont know where to begin. ive been choosing healthy meals trying my best to eat every 2 hours like my doctor indicated, but it just doesnt happen that way every day and im worried about if im gonna be able to do this the right way. i finally got my Protein shake today, the other one i drank was giving me milk allergy. and i also got my Biotin and Vitamins so i know my energy is gonna come back. i havent been to the gym in about a week and i havent walked as much as i know i should have. i think my reality is setting in and i just need a little push in the right direction again to see if i can get my head together and wrap it around what i did again. i had an incident where i threw up after i ate because of over eating which definitely reminded me of what i had done so im slowly but surely getting the hang of how much i can eat and just what i have to do for my health as a whole. some words of encouragement?? please throw them my way... -

I was actually thinking the same thing and I went on a hunt here on the website to find an answer. Ive lost weight as well not as much as you yet but im just starting out! but people have come to me and said wow you look like youve lost so much weight or wow you lost weight since last week when i saw you i cant believe it. and im just sitting here like uhhhhhhh i guess i dont know!! lol i do definitely notice it in my clothes i was a 14 and finally fit into a size 12. sometimes even you hit a point where you lose inches but not weight. sometimes its due to hormones because of your period or maybe lack of water intake. i know its happening but i heard that it takes some time for your brain to actually register the weight loss. in your brain youre still think oh im fat so even thin you might not feel it. just give it time and also keep looking at those pictures and listening to what people tell you to remind yourself! its happening girl we did the best thing ever for our selves! -
makes A LOT of sense. And funny that my salt craving started when i stopped drinkig the sweet Protein Drinks.
-
Ive also had a weird salt craving. Been wanting salted plantains or nuts. I have this feeling as if i lack salt in my body. Like im a heavy sweet tooth but i would go for the salt too i wish i knew why I got sleeved 6/28 now almost a month exactly out and it started like a week ago... along with my strange alergy to the Protein i was drinking. Which came out no where as well

So i had posted a few weeks ago that i was wondering if my arms would go down or if i would have these bat wings hanging well i was looking thru old pics and i was comparing the pics and amazingly hey have been going down. I couldnt notice with just looking but once i saw the difference i was amazed!!!! I havent weighed myswlf just yet this third week. The second week i was in somewhat of a stall and i think its broken now since my pants are fitting much looser than even yesterday! Im feeling great. I can sleep either way i want with no pain. Ummm idk what else to say im just waiting it out doing what im supposed to do. Good luck everyone. Just keep positive and be patient and you shall reap the benefits soon enough :-) [ATTACH]15657[/ATTACH] And this picture was taken today and the differences are only 10days apart

Dont worry youre just at a stall. It happends to a lot of people you can read about it all on here. Just keep doing what youre doing. Around your 3rd month you should start seeing huge differences. Im starting my 3rd week today and my second week i didnt lose a thing. My first i lost 10 lbs... i guess im at my stall... just have patience. Youll get to your goal eventually -
wow im so glad i stumbled upon your page.... my first week i lost 10lbs and i was estatic. i was like yes this is finally happening to me!! then this week all ive gone down is 1 lb and im feeling so sad. ive even told myself to walk more, maybe im not doing something right, maybe im being lazy. but your post just really turned my thought process upside down. i will not be negative any longer!!! everything comes with time and im happy with every single pound i get to lose!
