I have been beating myself up because I was only 1 week after my surgery and I stopped losing weight. I lost a total of 20lbs since before surgery, so of course when I stopped I got very upset. I am happy that I am not the only one that is having this problem. I said why did I do this to myself? Reading your letters has made me understand that I'm not alone and that I need to work hard and keep my spirits up, because eventually the weight will come off. I will stay off the scale. I have my first doctors and dietician appointment tomorrow and ready to start on a different diet. Thanks again for all the support.
