2 months post op-Wish I was melting more!

Hey there! I am 2 months post op today and down 45#. I am happy that I have lost it, but am getting greedy by wanting more!! I wi**** was more noticiable to people! I have not changed much in sizes and am frustrated by that. I wish I could fit into the smaller clothes I have. I think most of what I have is from when I was A LOT smaller. I was hoping to be 50# down by now. I have had 2 stricture dialations. Before I had them done, I really had a lot of trouble and stopped dropping because I couldn't get much down. I think that stall has stalled a lot! Hope everyone else is doing well and losing fast! Jeanette

Hi Jeanette, I am 6 weeks post-op open rny and I have been bummed out because I have only lost 28lbs. I have only lost 2lbs in the last 2 weeks! I am drinking plenty of water and walking a mile a day and working with weights. I am eating about 900 calories a day, mostly protein and it seems like I am fighting for every pound. It is frustrating, especially when we know how much less and better we are eating! Before surgery I could look at food and gain weight, and now I am starting to think I could be a failure. I just keep on telling myself that any weight loss is great and it would have taken me months to lose 28lbs. without this surgery. Good Luck to you, I think we will both make it eventually...... Till then, we keep fighting. Mindy TX open-rny 05-27-03 284/256

Honey, it's your husband, Bob. I think that you are doing wonderful and looking great! The pounds you are so concerned about will eventually come off, but it will take time. Remember, "good things come to those who wait" I love you. Keep up the good work!
