June surgery

[rdsesq01 0]

Hello all! I had my surgery June 25th and am feeling discouraged and down. I’ve lost a pound a week consistently this last month, but the slow losing is making me feel like a failure. I follow the rules and I eat healthy. What’s bothering me even more is that I have made great progress, so why am I even down on myself? Yesterday was 2 months and I’m down 35lbs and 20 inches. My doc said 1-2lbs per week is exactly where I should be. So why I am beating myself up? This is such an emotional mind game and I feel like I’m losing.

We are in the same boat. My surgery was june 13th and i am down 38 lbs. It started off fast but now is slow going. I had a 2week stall so i really know what you mean about it being a head game. Try to stay positive, we will both make it in the long run. We got past the hard part, now we just need to stick with the program. You can do it! ☺
