Discouraged!!!!

[justme2u 0]

I am 4 weeks post op and on solid food now. I know how you feel. I feel miserable. I am eating 1/4th of what i did before surgery, walking and still nada..... I have been at 18lbs lost for the last week and a half. Plus with everyday I can tell i am having less and less post op restriction and able to eat more and more. At first it seemed like a great idea for my surgeon to wait 12 weeks (3 Months) after surgery for the first fill, but now it doesn't sound so great to me. I have feakin 8 more weeks to go in Bandster Hell...........Sorry venting.... I too am getting so discouraged and depressed over all this. At least we know we are not alone.

wow LoveIsLovely, you are doing amazing. i'm about 2months/2weeks post-op and is still stuck at 28lbs lost. i'm coming up on my 3rd fill in 2weeks but can't seem to shed anymore weight. like yourself i'll lose 5lbs gain back 2 then lose 3lb more, i also think i've busted my butt too much in the gym and was so concerned with flab and trying to do weights until i have turned my fat into muscle(which weigh more) because i haven't lost anything in about 2weeks. but like you said i'm not going to get discouraged and will concentrate on just walking and see what happens after my 3rd fill !

Thanks for all of your encouragement and advice. I am feeling better, I guess I was having a cranky morning....Some of the things several of you have said rang true like the clothes fitting looser, I can tell in my clothes that I have lost, plus I know I need to drink more Water. I guess after losing 21lbs from pre-op to my post-op visit I had an unrealistic expectation to continue at that pace. I am going to keep plugging along, tweak where I know I need to and I have faith the results will come. It is nice to have this site to share experiences on this journey, my husband is amazing and supportive and understanding, but he couldn't know what I'm going through because he hasn't been there. Hearing from other people who have already been through the same things is encouraging and helps me feel like I am "normal". Thanks and have a blessed day.
