Lisa'slosinit 147 Posted January 5, 2013 hey everyone !!!! i had my surgery on december 8.The day before surgery my weight was 228, at my heaviest I weighed 251 , but probably stayed at about 244 for roughly this past year .Okay......since December 8, the first 2 weeks the scale dropped a number every day....then at exactly 2 weeks , i came to a stall which i stayed at 208!!!Got on the scale this am and may have broke my stall.......206.6!!!!...at exactly 1 month post op !!! i have been pretty bummed out ,because of the scale NOT moving...but i can honestly say ALL of my clothes have been literally hanging !!!!i have gone from a 3x tight scrub top to an xl!!! My friends and family say they can really see a difference.BUT with yo yo dieting all my life and losing 10,20 ,30, lbs here and there ...and seeing that some ppl have noticed and some have not ...i want prople to be truly sincere when they say "WOW I CAN SEE THAT YOU'VE REALLY LOST IT!" ,and not just saying it to make me feel better......can anyone relate ???? maybe i am feeling like this because i go back to work soon and have taken advantage of using a full 6 weeks...that when i do go back , i am wondering if people will view me to be half the size i was already???......does anyone else feel this way ????.....and sorry , didnt mean to ramble !

So Cal Kurt 32 Posted January 5, 2013 You are perfectly normal in your feelings. I had the fat guy in my head and could see no difference at all even after losing 100lbs. Eventually your head will catch up. I hope you have lots of before photos because that is where you will truely see the dfference. As far as your weight loss, you are doing great. Keep in mind that our bodys are designed to survive a famine. your body will try to hold on to as much as it can from time to time, this causes a stall. You are really early out and probably struggling a little getting your Protein in. For loss, you need to get at least 60g in every day and keep the fluids going. Limit your carbs and you will do fine. It is really fast at first then it slows down a little. The other key is to keep moving. Walk as much as you can until you are cleared for real exercise then start hitting the gym for some more intense cardio. Good luck, you are doing great! 1 Lisa'slosinit reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
