So have you discussed this with your surgeon? Why are you throwing up? Sorry you are having regrets. This is a difficult journey to undertake. While I'm losing very slowly, I'm trying to keep my head up and stay with the program. My stomach is gone forever and I made that decision. Seven pounds in as many weeks maybe too little, and maybe your medical team could come up with a solution to help you. All the best and please don't give up.

Buyers remorse and slow weight loss are on track as far as you are concerned. You are looking at numbers when your body is still trying to heal. If you are following the plan, you will lose weight.

Now the best thing to do would be to not weigh yourself for a month and then you will find that you will have lost. This weighing yourself all the time is a recipe for discouragement and self sabotage. Put the scale away for now okay!

Just about everyone has buyers remorse. This too will pass as the lbs start to go down.

Put 8 pounds of butter on the table and pick it up. That is how much you have lost so far since Aug.4th. Every pound lost is a lb of butter in your head. It is all good kid!
