Thanks Everyone

I am 6 wks post-op and I was feeling a little down because I have only lost about 22 pds and I feel like compared to everyone else I'm not doing that great. My head monster was saying see I told you even this would not work for you. Then I started reading everyone's post and had to tell myself again that everyone is different and I just need to not listen to that head monster and continue drinking my protein, water and exercise, one day I WILL be a member of the century club. You guys are just awesome and I am so grateful to have this forum to come to and vent. Highly Favored 323/282.5/

HF, Keep up the great work, your doing awesome. Your so right we are all different and our bodies respond differently. I get discouraged at times as well, but like you we just have to keep on plugging. We didn't put the weight on overnight so I guess it cant come off overnight either. LOL Have a wonderful day!!! Hugs, Jodi

Hang in there and remember you are not alone!!! That is an awesome loss you have so far and know that it will only get better for you!! Keep it up and try not to get discouraged Bonnie

Don't feel down at all. 22lbs is amazing and you are just going to continue to lose that weight. For some of us, it just takes a tad longer than others but look at this way, if you lose a little slower, you will probably have to worry less about excess skin and things like that. You definitely will get to the century club!! Kerri

I was so happy to read your post. I also felt like this wasn't going to work for me either and that I should lose at least a lb a day. Now that I've read other peoples experiences I now feel as you do and am proud to have lost what I have. I am hoping to reach that century mark along with you....Keep up all the effort and enjoy it.
