Surgiversary...8/6/12...280 lb. 10/6/12...2 months out... Lost 43 lb. Never felt better!!????

I am frustrated and concerned. It was one month on Thursday that I had my surgery and to date I have lost 25 lbs. I am grateful for that, however this week I have not lost anything. I have been on track with my protein(avg. 70g)my calories(800) and my exercise( walking). Have had a hard time going to the bathroom , realizing probably because all I eat is protein.( I have gone, it's just not easy) I guess I was not expecting this to happen. It just seems too soon. Anyone else out there have this happen??? Any comments or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks everyone. I feel much more encouraged. I really am doing all that I can. Just need to be patient.

@bbdoodle... What is your caloric intake??? I'm worried to increase too much because I'm only at 800 calories and if I do anything too strenuous, my body will go into starvation mode.

Can't believe the day is here. I can't wait to be on the other side if this!! So excited to get control of my life back. So excited that I will be a better mom to my four young children because of it. So excited to start fully participating in my life again! Good luck to all of you in this process. Believe in yourself. Do this for YOU. You are worth it.

9:30 for me too. Nervous and excited. Can't sleep, actually . Good luck girls!

Hi there. I also go tommorow and can not wait! I agree completely with everything you said. I have 4 children and want to start participating more in their and my own life. I am a bit nervous today, just can't wait to get on the other side of this. Wishing you luck and much happiness.

Congrats !!! I also got my date today. August 6, 2012. Can't believe it!! Beginning of the rest of our lives!! Good for you. Enjoy every moment!!
