Wow, I thought was the only one! I play the not that fat game too. I'm post op 7 weeks and have lost 50 lbs. and thought wow I should be able to shop and just feel great! Ummmm no, not even close yet. It was a real eye opener that 50 pounds didn't make drastic changes in sizes yet. The only time I feel "fat" is when I see a photo of myself now. But as a kid I felt huge all the time. I look at those pics now and would give anything to be that size again. Thanks for sharing and helping know I'm not the only one.....

I am 6 weeks post op and starting the end of my 3rd week. I didn't lose for over 2 weeks. I kept thinking omg what am I doing wrong, I was down 42 lbs but 23 lbs were pre op. I tried to limit the people I told about surgery but I still feel the pressure from those who DO know, everyone is asking me everyday, weight loss? Weight loss? Weight loss. I just want them to leave me alone. This journey is so hard to begin with! I am petrified I will be that person that only loses 42 lbs for the rest of my life. But the scale moved down 5 lbs this week and so I am trying to but this bumpy road into perspective! Keep the faith and move forward!!

I was worried I was the only one with these issues, today is start of my 5th week post op and I didn't lose anything last week. I've lost 19 since surgery and 42 over all, but I don't feel like it's enough. Everyone keeps asking me how much I've lost, the pressure of them asking is almost too much.
