Not keeping up

I had RNY on 12/10

During my liquid fast I lost 15lbs putting me at 230lbs the day of surgery.

When I left the hospital, I had gained ALL of the 15 lbs back because they pumped me full of liquids.

I lost the 15lbs in a few days (but I don't could that in my loss)

As of Saturday I weighed 219 :( I am doing worse than the rest of you.

That is only 11 pounds.

(I lost 130 lbs before my surgery and I think that may have something to do with my slow weight loss)

Yep -- I had my surgery on 12/17 and I've only lost 20lbs...but you know what?  I'LL TAKE IT!!  I know that the weight will come off when it wants to come off and if it comes off slowly, I figure my skin will have time to shrink and I won't be so saggy!  Go pick up a 20 lb bag of dog food.  Seriously.  Relish every pound you've lost so far!

I wish you guys all the success...I find that picturing something that weighs what I've lost does help...I keep picturing me lifting 25 lbs of dog food...It's amazing you can lose all that and not feel so different...I know, in the past, I've really only started feeling different at 50 lbs...Anyway, I really appreciate all your support, and when I feel discouraged, I will think of you guys and say a little prayer that you are doing well....

I don't feel different at all having lost 46 since October. I thought for sure I'd be full of energy, my back and knees wouldn't be so achey, but it's just not the case. I hope I don't have to wait much longer to start feeling an improvement physically.
