Feeling and looking like I've made no progress today but I've dropped 30 lbs. does anyone else have yucky days like this and how do you get through it?

9 weeks out and 45 down. I do still have blah days, but I can honestly say the good ones are quickly outnumbering the bad!!

How far out are you?

I definitely have days where I stall but that's all part of the process. There will be days you don't lose and then there will be days you find you've dropped 5 pounds out of the blue!

Don't stress out about the numbers on the scale, especially if you're straight a month or 2 out of surgery. It will fall off in due time, just keep on adding your Protein intake and exercising. Please don't stress out about the scale! In the early months of my surgery, I would worry about EVERY stall and think the surgery wasn't working. Now I'm a month away from being 1 year out and I still get stalls, but I'm so close to my weight goal.

Stalls are ok. As if feeling like you don't see any progress, that's ok. Other people will! There are days when I look in the mirror and still feel like I'm 288 pounds. I'm now 172 and there's a big difference. 30 pounds is A LOT! You will see differences, know that they are... Also look for how your clothes are fitting differently. Sometimes the mirror and scale make us crazy.

I feel the same way. My mom keeps telling me she sees a difference but I don't. I've lost 44 pounds, shouldn't that be noticeable? But what I think is happening is that is all fat that was all around my organs. So now my goal is to ramp up my walking and hopefully I'll see more changes. Good luck!

This visual might help to see how much you've lost! There's no way you can't tell you've lost 44lbs. Congrats!!! .
