2 Month Post Op With Pic

[littlebitsy 72]

To say I'm frustrated is an understatement. In the picture I have a 1 week post, 1 month post and 2 month post from left to right. I can tell a small difference in the 1 week to 1 month but from the 1 month to 2 month it looks like I have actually put on weight. It's not enough that I am barely losing any weight but to see side by side pictures that look like I'm gaining weight is evil. I lost most of my weight pre-surgery and feel like I have been in one big stall since surgery. Most days I regret ever doing this.

HW- 270lbs

SW- 262lbs

DOS- 232lbs

CW-212lbs

I do want to say that I am following the diet given to me by my surgeon and NUT although I am not perfect at all times. I am getting my Protein in and try every day to get all my fluids. I either do circuit training or walk the treadmill for my exercise and I try for 4-5 days a week.

Aww, don't be too disheartened. I think you look great.

Whether you see it or not, your body shape is really changing... Look at your arms/ shoulders/chest

That's a significant change. To add to that, you're actually closer to the mirror in the third picture, so the perspective is a bit skewed.

I'm in the same boat. Kept bouncing around +/- 1.5lbs and I'm 7.5 weeks out. Like you, I'm hoping things will move soon and I'm sure they will.

In the meantime, I'm elated because I found a tasty latte flavoured Protein shake. Yipppppeeee!

Hang in there, Chica x

I agree with Madam. You also have more skin showing in the third picture which will trick the eye. Either way I think there is a huge change between the first and last picture and you should be very proud of your success so far.

Thanks. It's so hard to see the changes in yourself. I know that changes are happening because my clothes are looser I just wish I could see it more. My goal is to be at the 200 mark by the New Year and as slow as I'm losing I'm thinking of changing it to my birthday which is in February.

Please do tell about this Protein Shake.......

[Madam Reverie 2,958]

It tastes like a caramel latte and has 20grms of Protein in it. It has a fair amount of carbs, too.. But the way I see it, if it's a Meal Replacement - I'll take those carbs.

Can't remember what its called. I'll get back to you on that one!
