Almost 1 month Post-Op!

I am also in a stall. Lost 21 lb before surgery, then 10 since, and nothing in the last few weeks. I have also been reassured it is normal. If only we were more patient! Also an RN, but no kids. Will keep an eye on this location, sounds like we are all in the same boat! And need to keep focusing on the 30 lbs or so we are all down - that is the important part, right?

Yep, yep, Joan 30 lbs is awesome.  Congratulations! That's what I keep chanting when I get discouraged when I'm only seeing the scale creep down! I'm starting to pick up losing more a little bit but it's still so hard to wrap my brain around the fact that I'm eating between 500-600 calories, burning about 400 calories at the gym and I'm going down a lb or so every other day.  But it'll work! Even if I "just lose" 2 to 3 lbs a week, that's like 65 lbs in 5 months and 130 in a year.... sounds good to me!

Thanks for the follow-up. I am dropping again and am now officially 6 weeks out and am down 20 lbs since surgery, 40 lb total. All good, but the Dr really pushed me about getting in to the gym more, etc. Congrats on being down as much as you are, you are doing awesome!! And you are right, a lb or 2 every otehr day is still and impressive amount to lose. Great job, girlfriend!
