Did I really have surgery???

Alright, I am 9 weeks out and I can't believe how I feel so normal. I mean until i try to eat fast or a bunch that is. Which is why this surgery is such a blessing. I do feel that my weight is coming off rather slowly though. I have lost (only) 33 pounds. I guess I thought it would be more by now. I know I need to step up on the exercise, but I hardly eat much....but enough! I am very active with my 2 year old son, but it just seems slow. Anyone else feeling like this?

Definitely! I'm almost 11 weeks out and have lost 40 (on a good day). My job is very physical and very early in the morning so it leaves me wiped-out the rest of the day. Despite best intentions, I've only exercised one other time this week and know the weight will not come off quickly without pushing harder. When I start to get down on this seemingly slow weight loss I just review my food journal and look over my calorie and protein intake. Compared to how I used to eat, there is no way this weight will NOT come off...even slowly. And yet, eating these tiny amounts really feels normal...there is no sense of deprivation or sadness over missing food. It is so hard to be patient, but I'm really trying. We all just have to stick together and support each other. We'll get there, maybe not as fast as some others but we'll get there! Molly

I KWYM, I feel pretty much the same. And I get hungry too. (I was hoping that wouldn't happen for a while) I feel my weight loss is slow too... but I guess its still more then if I wasn't doing anything. I'm a little over 8 weeks out.. and about 40 pnds down.. and ya.. thats on a good day LOL I need to exercise too.. I had such a LONG and hard recovery.. so I'm still a little slow with it.. that and its so COLD outside.
