Frustrated!!!!!

I am feeling so frustrated right now and have no place to vent. I vent to my husband and he just tells me "call the Doctor" but this isn't a "call the doctor" type of thing. I am 1 month out and I have lost about 28 lbs post op plus 45 pre-op. I step on the scale daily even though I know I shouldn't. I read other people posting they have lost X amount of weight, which is always more than me. I know I can't compare myself to other people...I drink over 64oz of water a day, I exercise 30 minutes a day on my elipical machine. I get all my protein in and barely eat carbs, I don't eat much fat and I know I get enough calories in (well I think I do, it probably ranged from 500-1000 per day). Sooo AAAAARRRRRGGGG!!! why am I feeling like this? It took me 35 years to put it on and I guess the total weight (73lbs) since I started is fantastic. Why do i feel so frustrated? Is it normal to feel that way? I feel like I just want all my weight off now.... Sorry just needed to let that out....I feel like I am going

First off,you have an excellent weight loss.where else have you lost 28lbs in 30days????????second throw out you dame scale..or at least have your husband hide it for a week.your trading your food obsession for a scale obsession.500caloies a day will put you into starvation mode.you need to add more...more exercise,mose calories,more protein, more water.stop beating your self up...your doing a great job! All the Best! Tracey

I agree with every thing Tracy said throw away the scale that is the frustrating part of it, and you are doing great with your weight loss, don't compare to others, you really answered your own frustration's. Wanting the weight to be gone over night, well if that was possible I would have done it years ago. You come back and vent any time you need to. and keep up the good work. Throw that scale away.

Michelle, I know it can be frustrating at times but hey hang in there it will come off like you even said Everyone is different. I am stuck right now and it seems like forever. I only have 13 lbs to go for my goal loss of 100lbs and it's driving me crazy too. So I guess I should take my own advice and ride it out. Good luck! Evelyn 247/160/147

you know its better to lose the weight slower so dont worry i usually lose fast and i dont keep it off i just had my surgery on tue 26 and i will see how it comes off for me all i no is i want to keep it off when it comes off good luck kate

Thank you for the support. I was just feeling frustrated and questioning if I am doing the right things as far as eating. Hope you are doing well Kate! good luck to you
