Weightloss discouragement

[kellbell5 35]

I had my surgery April 22nd (I am 3 weeks post of today) and I am feeling very discouraged. I am only down 11 pounds and I feel like I should be doing better than this. I am terrified that I'm going to be one of those people that this surgery doesn't work for... Any thoughts, suggestions?

You're doing just fine. You gain a lot from the fluids in the hospital and you lose that weight first. So you've really lost however much that was, plus another 11 pounds.

Don't get discourged, I felt I lost weight very, very slow. I think I lost only 12 lbs the first month, after that I would lose 4 and gain 2. But in the end I lost all the weight I wanted in less then a year. Everyone loses differently. If you keep to the plan your Doc has for you, you will successed. Just remember you did this for you and you will be healthier, and feel better.

Don't feel down. Remember one thing we didn't gain weight over night there for over night it won't disappear. You will lose the weight the slower the better. Look a me you can be going for fixing & being told hey put on 10 more pounds you need some fat to put in your butt. Like smh really now I'm too thin for surgery. Oh well...
