June Post Ops!

OK' date=' momma doe, time for a pep talk. There are MANY ways to measure success. The scale is only one of them. YOU HAVE LOST 48 pounds in three months - nearly half your expected loss! That's incredible!! When in your life have you done that before? You are wearing smaller clothes (and doesn't that feel better than the number on the scale)! I would bet that if you had measurements taken before surgery it would show a number of inches gone - and we don't beat ourselves up because our waist size is not dropping fast enough.

Goals are great. We all make them, and it is good to have something to strive for. But getting too wrapped up in the number on the scale will just drive you nuts. You have accomplished SO MUCH!! Remember to focus on the whole you - not just one number, on one day, on one device. You are so much more than that!![/quote']

See why I whined! Very encouraging Baconville! I needed that! I was thinking I guess I should be celebrating that my weight now begins with a ONE. Where we've been, I never thought 4 pounds would have affected me that way! I so wish I had have taken measurements, sure know that all of my pants are sure longer now! Thanks again for reminding me! D

Well today was my 3 month follow-up. I'm not doing as well as many/most of you. I am down 46lbs by their scale (48.4 by mine but who's counting?) so I missed the 50 - 60 lb goal so I'm bummed and beating myself up today. I can give a slew of excuses and I know I need to get to exercising more' date=' and drink more fluids.

Dr was not discouraged tried to tell me I've lost 42% of my anticipated loss but I'm still wallowing in self-pity. I feel good, my blood pressure is down, I've thrown out my first pair of fat pants so it's stupid I am crying about 4 lbs but I'm so upset about it. New goal is 30 -40 lbs in the next 90 days.

Thanks for the long whiny post.[/quote']

Instead of making your weight loss your goal why nit make healthy eating, exercise, and food intake a goal. I know if you meet these the goals every single day your weight will reflect it. You will get there....don't give up!

I'm sitting here relaxing. Nice and cozy on a rainy evening. But gosh darn it...I have this overwhelming desire to eat...I'm not hungry. I had a nice dinner full of Proteins and flavor but I swear I need me done nuts chips and salsa. Ughhhhhh does this happen to anyone else?

I honestly still can't see any difference. In down nearly 80lbs now since surgery. The dark hair is before surgery and the blond hair was yesterday.

What do y'all think? Please be honest...saying I look the same WON'T hurt my feelings.

Thanks Julee, I'm moving forward! Maybe yesterday was one of those hormone low days related to the estrogen fat release. Today is the next new step!

How is your daily protien intake? taking Biotin?

[iamworthit 208]

How is your daily protien intake? taking Biotin?

65-70 grams of Protein a day but not taking a separate biotin. Maybe I should add that. I was hoping I'd skip the hairloss phase.
