So I saw my surgeon on Monday and she wasn't pleased with my weight loss. I am 14 weeks post op and have lost 30lbs. She stated that if I don't lose 10-15 pounds in the next 7 weeks until I see her again she thinks I won't lose anymore weight at all. Is my progress really that bad?

I can't seem to bring myself to walk into a gym. My self confidence is low and I feel like if I walk in everyone will stare and wonder what a fat girl is doing there. How can I workout without a gym? I mean this is a for real paralyzing fear. Anyone else have similar thoughts or issue?

Thank you Jamie. I am having a hard time with the working out. I was doing really well with an at home regimen but I am a single mom of 2 and a full time student so a lot of stress right now. I don't have the self confidence to go to a gym and am really struggling like that..

Yes I am eating puréed and my doctor allowed me to slowly incorporate more foods if I thought I was ready

Minime15 I also had surgery 11/2 and have only lost 14 pounds, didn't gain any from the hospital. My mother had the surgery 10 years ago and she likes to ask how much am I down and I finally had to tell her I would update her when there is a change. I haven't lost anything in almost two weeks.. So frustrating.

How much weight have you lost in the first 10 days?

I know that everyone is different and we all loose at different rates but I'm just so worried that I'm not doing this right.. I'm 10 days post op today and have lost 14lbs.. -
Surgery Nov. 2! Liquid diet is driving me crazy.

So surgery is quickly approaching and I couldn't be more excited, but I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet and I'm going through a wide range of feelings. I'm hungry, I'm losing my temper easier. I don't know if I'm going to make it. -

For the late night cravings I have been chewing a lot of gum, also I have trouble getting all the liquids in as well my water intake is something I need to work on. I've just never been much of a drinker either.. -

Yes I wish I could say it gets easier but it hasn't. It doesn't help that I have two small children that I need to cook for. Lol.. But on the bright side I've lost 5lbs since Monday. -

My liquid diet is 2 weeks. It's been awful I love the shake I use its a powder (chocorite in chocolate supreme) I mix with 10oz water and 1 scoop of nectar unflavored protein powder and blend over ice. -

Thanks JuliePro. I'm trying I've come too far to go back now.. -
When I woke up today I had previously scheduled my nutritionist appointment on 8/6, surgeon visit 8/26 and psych evaluation wasn't until 11/25. So I figured this process would take me until the end of the year, I already lost the 5% required by the program. But today that all changed, the psych office called and had a cancellation and I went to that and passed with flying colors. While I was at the psych appointment the surgeons office called and rescheduled me for tomorrow.. So with in 24 hours I will have a surgery date that could possibly be pretty soon. So excited and nervous!

So this maybe completely off subject but I need to ask a question.. I have been with my boyfriend for over a year and I met him on a BBW website and I am afraid that once I do the surgery he will no longer be attracted to me. When I spoke to him about getting the surgery he said he was completely supportive and that his "fantasy woman" is not the only thing he is attracted to me for. I don't know how to feel about this. Before he knew about the surgery he was asking me to gain more weight and I just kept saying no. Now that he knows he is sending me exercise and diet regimens to follow. Does anyone have any advice to shed? I just don't know how much stress this surgery will cause our relationship in the end.
