Any buddy out there that wants to share day-to-day progress with me?

@fridacuriel Congrats on your surgery. "Having regerts" is normal. I would just say, if you're struggling with remorse for the "old life," just really glom onto WHY you decided to get the surgery. Rememer the WHY you went into this journey and have faith that 1 year from now you're only remorse will be that you didn't do it sooner. Embrace the suck. I swear I'm gonna have tshirts printed!!! Cuz while it sucks, you're maximizing the opportunity to lose the weight and aren't physically able to put the calories in your body--so weight loss happens! And all too soon, your struggle will be with being able to eat too much again and will worry that you've ruined your surgery and your tool is stretched out (when it won't be).

I'll take one of those teeshirts,in a snap-back,size 3X, one like your Magic Pants that can be worn for a while. Just think, by this time next year it will be loose and I can use it to sleep in.Boggles the mind, don't it?

I lost over 8lbs in the first week after surgery. Then on my second week I only lost 2.5lbs. I'm getting scared I'm going to fail.

((hugs)) When was the last time you lost 10lbs in 2 weeks that might not be "all water"? It'll happen. Stay faithful. Maintain course...

I would think it would be more important to be consistently losing even at a slow rate. At least you havent hit the dreaded stalls.

Thanks. I guess every diet I did failed hence this op. It's a pattern and I'm afraid of it. Guess I'm just having one of those days

Aw we all have those, I'm getting over mild pneumonia, I was on an antibiotic so long my liver stopped clearing it. Now I have allergic conjunctivitis, can hardly see, itching as all get out, want to take my fists and dig my eyeballs out. I'm on eye drops every 6 hours, Tomkitten(my son) has to drop them in but if I'm late the itch comes back. I'm not very sweet tempered today, the kitchen is a mess, he was asking for brownies to be made, safe from me cause I'm allergic to chocolate. Told him "no cleanie no cookie" we are currently at a standoff. I guess I'll have to,drag myself out there and start washing dishes. One of 2 things I hate, I always said if I was sent to Hades I'd either have a cash drawer that wouldn't balance or I'd be washing greasy dishes thru eternity.
