Thats all i get for my suffering

Went for the one month check up today and it was a very informative class, but when it came to my weight loss i was not happy.  Since my surgery Sept 22 i have only lost 25 lbs.  The doctor did not say anything about but i'm not happy about it at all.  In this one month i have really had a rough time of it.  I really thought i would do a lot better. 
After the dr appt i had to have a EGB scope done.  That was not a walk in the parek because if felt like a pin cushion. It took 4 trys before the were able to get the IV in my arm.  That was hell, i hate needles.  Almost rescheduled.  No i don't do drug.  They said it was because i was dehydrated and that makes finding the veins harder. 
I hate to go to work tomorrow and have everyone ask me how much have i lost. I think that is a question that i'm just going to stops answering because i don't  want to lie. Though i did have a dr. tell me today the amount was perfect, but those who had surgery the same day has lost so much more.  I know everyone looses at there own pace. 
Thanks for allowing me to vent.

HUGS!! Hang in there hun, I am sure it will get better, sounds like the doctor is pleased with you!! Just keep on doing what he tells you and I am sure the WL will pick up!! I bet the veterans will have great advice for you, wish I could help more by I have yet to have surgery. I will keep you in my prayers, don't give up, I am sure you will get thru this!!!

HUGS!!!

jno problem allowing you to vent , vent away any time any day.lol it does help some...,,honey when have you ever lost that much in a month that you knew it wouldnt be back,,,,and yes it is true that we all lose at different rates. you maybe a slow loser but that is ok you get to get use to your weight as you go down and you will. i was a really slow loser too compared to a lot of people,, i still have more i would like to lose but dont know if it will ever happen...are you getting in all your protein and water and vits daily>? are you exercising? if not going to a gymn walk and walk and walk it is the cheapest form of exercise and my doctor says one of the best you can do. come on the board more so we can help you more...it is hard if you are isolated to do this. do you go to a good support group? we love and care about you so hang in there and do what you are suppose to do and dont get hung up on carbs they are a killer to losing weight.....

You are always so positive.  Have you always been this way or will this wisdom come to me in time also?  In the past month i have been unable to to keep down pills and protein and that is why i had the scope done.  I have yet to get the results of those back (probably monday).  You would think as much as i would l was throwing up in the last month i would have lost a lot more weight.  I didn't have the energy for exercise before i went in the hospital for the dehydration, but since getting out and going back to work  I have a lot more energy.  I start exercising the other day.  I do plan on attending the support group because i know i really need it.  Of course i will be a slow loser because i'm slow at everything else why not that.  Thank you for your words of encouragement and i will try to get online more often.
