Why? Were you not told about food?

Were you not told about exercise restrictions? Huh I must be a dummy 25 lbs is NOT something I would categorize as "haven't had much weightless"! I have read a lot on these blogs yours I'm sorry to say is up there with some of the people who may have chosen this surgery for the wrong reason?

I am 6 weeks post OP and I've only lost 27 lbs which is perfectly acceptable by any MD.

Please take things easy... 25 lbs is alo of weight i think in 3 weeks. I would cut back on the exercise and give your body time to heal. I understand the drive to get your weight loss going, but i believe that sometimes taking it slowly is a good thing. Our bodies need time to heal and our minds time to understand our new way of life. The weight will be lost, there's no need to fall in a"whirlwind" mode.... I find the less i jump on the scales, the more i lose. Im just over six months out, and down about 95lbs and with some long stalls but through it all i never felt that pressure of failure that has always made me give up on all the other diets i have tried.

Please take it easy...

Thanks judith for being so nice and encouraging thats what im going to do take it easy i didnt gain this weight over night so i cant expect to lose it that way either.this is for the other person with the negative response and questioning my reasons i did this surgery due to health reasons and wanting be healthy for my children,now that im understanding my attachment to food and the source i can deal better nobody is perfect we all chose this surgery to better ourselves,and i came to this site for support and encouragement not to feel worse.I'm not questioning anyone reasons so please don't question mine.

It so hard to get the "I didnt gain this weight overnight, I wont lose it overnight" thoughts in your head. I know it is for me. Somedays all I want to do is exercise and go go go as hard as I can to make the weight come off faster...but it doesnt...it stalls me out! The fear we all have of not measuring up to others weight loss gets us sometimes too! But I am an individual, not a production part.... I have to do what works for me.

Just relax, slow down your pace, follow the plan and I promise this will work for you! Try not to overdo it, just keep moving forward slowly!

Sorry if you took my comments as negative. I was being a bit sarcastic because you were bashing yourself for losing 25 lbs which is an incredible loss in a short time by any standard. My apologies if you felt it negative.....

It's ok im just a little sensitive lately i know we're here to support each other and im glad your being honest that's what we all need so I thank you

Changingme, the HARDEST part of surgery for me was "breaking up with food." I had a hard time and meal after meal I wanted that rush I felt with high fat foods I ate pre op. I KNOW the hard time you're in now. I'm lifting you up in prayer. For me, my rny was a lot like being postpartum in that it was a fog of going through the motions (fixing Protein Shake after Protein shake). Then the fog cleared and I was able to set REALISTIC goals and eat good things. I hope you are able to get out of your bad habits too.

[changingme 12]

I've started therapy for postpartum depression and my eating habits and today i had a real eye opener cause the dr thinks i might have a restriction or possible leak so im undergoing the procedure to check and see,its outpatient.

3 days post op, and I am feeling great! I overdid the activity a little today, and felt it this afternoon! lol I am thankful for a smooth surgery and recovery. The.hardest part for me was being.stuck 7 times.before they ended up getting an IV line in - ended up getting it put in while in the OR holding area!! Hope all is going well with all of March.surgery buddies!!

Jerz i sure will.

I think you are doing great! Don't be so hard on yourself. I couldn't exercise for 6 weeks because of surgery pain and pneumonia after surgery. I am 3 months post op and down 60 pounds. we all slip up with foods and give in to temptation- those are lessons learned and we move forward. Stay focused- and remember we are all going thru this with you :)
