I was just thinking to myself this morning something along these lines: If I hadn't had the surgery, how much would I have gained weight in the last few weeks? How would I have felt had my surgery been cancelled for a month or two? Better yet, how would I be feeling if I had of had this surgery a few years ago when I first started thinking about it? I know it's hard not to see immediate results, especially after going through major surgery, and sometimes it's not so much your expectations but the expectations of others. I haven't gone back to work yet, but I get emails and phone calls from people at work (well meaning I'm sure ) asking me "how much have you lost?" My answer is "I haven't weighed yet" (little white lie). I have lost a few pounds, but not enough to change clothing sizes or anything. Shee****'s not as if I'm going to wake up and be 100 pounds thinner. I'm sure the tongues will be wagging once I go back to work , and that's OK too. This is MY life, MY journey amd MY weight loss, no one has to live with being in my body except me. Same for you! I know it's difficult; these first few months are periods of massive adjustments. This is YOUR time, be good to yourself ......and take it one day at a time. ~Nonna

Hi Nonna I think youre right. I think part of my frustration is that NO ONE has said OMGODDESS!!!!!!!! Youve lost sooooooooooooooo much weight!!! I know the little bit I've lost is a drop in the bucket. But, like you said, its a drop that hasnt been added! Take care willby

Hey girl! Don't think your going to be stealing away my title. I AM THE SLOWEST LOSER! Heehee! How much have you lost all together? Didn't you drop a BIG chunk the first week? I lost 21lbs the first month and now am staying away from the scales. I HATE THIS!!! Why can't we be one of those people who drop 50lbs in the first 2 weeks? I started out at 305 so it's not like I am a lightweight. UGH!!!! Hugs, Dawn

Dawn, No big chunk here.........unless you count my big ole' a$$. I started at 327 in Aug. lost 16 pounds pre-op. weighed 311 in october and now 289. I know thats 38 pounds total. But I want to be one of those people too who lose 50 pounds the first day post-op willby

Wilby!! Firs tell as how much have you lost in totaL.....Then we can crown you the slowest loser...
