I totally agree. You sounds exactly like me.
I got so stressed about not losing enough weight but I calculate it out and I've lost 6 pounds a week since surgery and the book says up to 7 pounds.
I need to stop weighing myself.
I am taking a picture of msyelf every week as a visual reminder. I know I shouldn't be so concerned about the numbers.
As for eating so much I find that as long as it's liquidy I can eat ALOT but when I start eating solid foods (I've had eggs and crackers) then it really fills me up.

I had RNY on May 16th & I feel pretty good but I'm a little worried because I've already plateued. I lost 24 pounds since I started my 2 week liquid diet prior to surgery but not much more since the surgery. I have my 2 week post op appt on the 6th of June so hopefully everything is ok. It also worries me that I'm able to eat more than I thought I would too. I need to quit weighing myself every day because it's driving me nuts. haha!

Good luck to both of you, mine was Tuesday and I am now home and on the road to recovery.
It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!
Topic: RE: May 24, is my day!!!!
Thanks everyone! Yesterday went great! The staff of nurses at Turning Points Surgery were awesome! Was in alot of pain from gas and such for most of yesterday evening. BUt not so bad this morning. Made the mistake of drinking too much at first because I was so very thirsty, but once it passed I was able to get comfy in my Mom's bed with my sweet dog and wonderful Mom to take care of me. So happy about my decison...
Topic: RE: Tomorrow is the Day
Good luck to both of you! I am 8 days out and so relieved to be on this side.... when I was pre-op I was worrying so much about "what if this, what if that, how will I handle this", etc.
It's much easier to be in the "doing" mode rather than in the "worrying about doing" mode!
good luck!
