Is anyone else disappointed?

Disappointed with their progress so far? I have lost a measly 1 lb since my big 10lbs loss two weeks ago. I was up 3 lbs again on Saturday. I hate this yo-yo crap. It's driving me crazy! When will I experience the big losses every week like some people???? I hope my back heals soon so I can hit the gym with a vengence! Take care, Lori

I had my surgery the same day as you and I have only lost a total of 39 pounds. I keep thinking I am doing something wrong because I expected to lose more than this by now but I am just thankful that I have lost this much. I have been doing everything the doctors office told me to do but it still is very slow. I just wish I could experience an exciting week but it just does not happen. But I am not going to get myself upset over this and just keep plugging away even if it is slow. At least some of it is gone. I think you have actually done quite well!

Hi Surgery Twins! I've lost 38.5 lbs. Yes, I'd be estactic if I'd lost 65 like some. But I'm really happy with what I've lost so far, because this time, I won't gain it back! Just keep up what you're doing and know that plateaus are normal. BTW, have you measured yourself? I have lost inches when I wasn't losing weight. Go try on something in your closet that was too small, that will make you feel great! Michele

Hello there... I'm so glad to see your posts....because for the last few days I've been beating myself up about how slow I loose...The truth of the matter is I want to loose about 100-110 lb alltogether, and I wanted to do it in a year or so... now I'm one week short of being 3 months out, and I'm down.....45lb.... it's been 45 for the last 2 weeks.......it's dead.....I'm eating more more now, and I got my sense of hunger and thirst back .. It's good to know that I'm not alone in this boat of diappointment....I know we will make it though.... it's just not easy..... take care, Rita

Hi Lori I can totaly relate to how you're feeling.......I've been loosing the same 2 pounds for almost two weeks now. I need to put my sacale away because I'm on it at least twice a day and its driving me nuts. I've lost a total of 63 pounds since surgery but I was hoping to be down 70 by next week for my 3 month follow up appointment with my surgeron but its not going to happen. I've been on this stupid plateau for sometime now and I know that I'm not eating too much because I can't tolrate food very well right now. Anyways I hope you're doing better soon. Debbie

Ok.. now I have to say something.... I dont post much on this board... but........... DEBBIE! Do you hear yourself.. lol!!!? Your disappointed that you will not hit 70 lbs lost by your 3rd month! I had to laugh! 63 LBS IS AMAZING!

Hi Michelle, I know its sooooo stupid...I guess I was having a little pitty party yesterday. I guess I thought since I could hardly eat anything I would have lost more but I'm happy with what I've accomplished so far. Debbie

Its not stupid!... I curse the scale everyday! lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!

Count me in - I'm happy with my total weight loss thus far, but these STALLS are KILLIN' me! I'm now on my second week of my current stall. UGH! I even gained 2 lbs for a couple days, it came back off but now I'm still stuck. It's causing me to lose interest in excersising, which is BAD.

I am an "August 24th Girl" as well. I can eat so much more now and it is quite scary. I can also tolerate some sugars now. I wish I could not because I am still battling those pesky food demons. My weight fluctuates 5 pounds at a time. I gain and lose the same 5 pounds over and over again. I am 5'7" and began this journey at 276. I stalled at 229-334 for weeks. As of this morning, I was finally down to 226 and yesterday I was 225. So I finally hit the 50 pound weight loss mark and I am hoping that I will never see the 230's again. I am very frustrated as well and disappointed in myself. I don't want to lose my big "window of opportunity" that is available to me these first six months. I think all of us have this small fear deep inside that we will not be successful at this and then what are we left with. We can do it. I think we are all going through the same things and that is comforting. We also all seem to be within pounds of one another as well. Maybe we aren't doing as badly as we think. We are just impatient.
