Frustrated

[maymay2010 2]

Today is my 2 week postop date. And I'm Only down 14lb. The first week I lost 12lb and this week I have only lost 2lb. And I'm getting really upset and discouraged.

Don't get discouraged, 14 pounds is a lot! Your body needs time to adjust, I mean, you just went through a major surgery. You won't always lose 12 pounds a week. Just be patient and you will get there... Good luck!

It's probalby your body realizing something is different and saying... "What the **** have you done to me" It thinks it's starving right now but you'll be back on track soon. 2lbs in a week is still nice weight loss and 14lbs in 2 weeks is awesome. Congrats!!!! Don't get upset, it's just your body's way of adjusting to all of the changes.

remember too that if you lose too quickly you will end up with a lot of sagging skin. Slow is good.

I really can't stress it enough...DON'T KEEP A scale AT HOME!! It is so self defeating! I cannot handle to have one near me or I will weigh myself multiple times a day. I am nearing 7 months out and I have only weighed myself once when I wasn't at the doctor's office. I use clothing as my guide. I bought "goal clothing" and just kept trying it on. Before I knew it I had to buy new goal clothing. Just follow your doctor's orders as closely as possible and I'm sure you will see suprising results before you know it! Keep your head up!!
