zimbarb 1 Posted July 26, 2015 I hear you! but. i am just under 2 weeks post ope i started this journey at 294 i am now 264 i was 279 day of surgery its only been 17 days and I am beating myself up about only losing 12-16 pound since surgery which was 17 days ago! I wd never have done that without surgery, I think we are all too hard on ourselves and maybe unrealistic that this is the start of forever for us, if i only lose 1- 2 pounds a week Ill be so different in a year where as the past 17 years every year i thought I was going to change and never did. be strong and positive, I feel it too, i wanted to wake up skinny, it is still hard work you are doing great feel good that you took control and you will lose weight!
