Weight

Well I called around and FitZone for Women let me come in and get weighed...Now I am depressed...I have only lost an additional 11 pounds in the last month. Day of Surgery 426, today 394...at least I hit a mini goal of under 400. I drink plenty of water, get all protein in and have started walking and feel so energetic...AGH! This is frustrating, I know my body is probably just adjusting, but ARGH!!!!!!!!!! I probably drink almost a whole gallon of water a day. I refill a gallon jug we keep in frig each night before bed, and that is not including the milk I drink, or sf fudgesicles, jello, crystal light, or any !^@#$^*&^#%#$@%@%.........I wish I wouldn't have gone to get weighed and just waited til the 20th.............oh well...can't go back-only forward!!

Hi Mandie ~ Yes ~ It can be very frustrating. My 2 week check up I had lost 17 lbs ~ two weeks later ~ still at 17 lbs. Talk about being ticked off. At my 6 week check-up I was down 38 ~ week 7 & 8 still at 38 ~ now week 9 I am down 47 lbs. It will catch up ~ your body is going through soooo many changes right now it just needs time to rest and re-group! I know many a days I have cried just reading the board and seeing people saying how their weight is just falling off ~ and I hate it. Just have faith that the scale will catch-up with your body. Take care Peggy B

Thank you for your kind words of support Peggy. That is how I feel too, seeing all the postings and wondering why not me?....I just need to take what I have already lost and look at it in a positive way...Where would I be if I didn't have surgery...probably still at/or above 440. Mandie

They say the scales are now our enemy, your doing great, keep the good work up. We did not get to the weight we are at overnight so we have to be a little patience. But I know you will get to your goal weight. I wish I could get the proteins in and the water. Just know that you will do great. Kaye
