Finding myself becoming more and more depressed I haven't lost any weight since my doctors appointment on the 14th. I am trying to do my best with the diet. I know I'm nt taking in the proper Water but I'm getting better. So far the only thing that makes me sick is whey protien shakes. Go figure the one thing I need my pouch don't like, and. I broke down and ate a oatmeal raisin cookie and nothing happen. I don't know I just feel like I'm not going to succeed with anything. In guess I just need a pick me up or something to keep me on track. I live in the middle of no where and have really nothing to do woe is me:(

Are you walking? I've heard that just because you're not losing lbs doesn't mean your not losing inches. Sometimes the weight redistributes itzelf for optimal weight loss. Hang in there and dont give up! Its only been a little over 2 weeks...my surgery is tomorrow morning at 7 a.m....we can do this together ....

I've been walking i still have a lot of pain in my lower abdomen. I just need some motivation I think. Good luck in the morning

Thank you...i cant sleep because of the anxiety. We'll motivate each other. I'll contact u tomorrow if the hospital has wifi

The bariatric center that I'm going through has you c a physical therapist that shows you all of thee neat exercises that can be done immediately after surgery. I've been doing them for the past two weeks and i dont know if I've lost any weight but people have noticed that I look more tone. The say my mid section isnt as large ...I dont own a scale because it will make me obsess a out it. Ive heard others say use a tape measure instead...r u taking pics once a week and looking at them?

Just to let you know I didn't loose any weight for the first couple weeks either but I'm 2 months out and I've now lost 52 lbs. don't get depressed about it and don't give up it will come off soon!

Forgot to mention there are some weeks I don't loose anything and some weeks where I loose a lot making sure you get in all fluids is a big deal though so even if you have to eat a whole box of sugar free Popsicles so be it just make sure your getting your Fluid intake because not getting enough fluid will make your body retain Water and make you have water weight on!

No I haven't been taking pictures. My clothes still for the same and my husband says I still look the same so I don't know and it sure does make it worse that everytime we go anywhere he stops and gets fast food
