Holy Schmoly! - 6 month appointment tomorrow

If you don't mind me asking how tall are you? I am 5'8 had surgery 3 1/2 months ago October 29th and I have only lost 12 in exactly 2 months I started out at 287 a week prior to surgery 276 day of surgery and now 215. I have lost 72 all together but the 12 in 2 months really bothers me.

I don't mind you asking at all....I am 5 foot 3 and I started out at 290.  In the last 6 months I have had to re-group many many times because there is always someone that will lose faster or look differently than you do.....I really had to come to terms with the fact that I am going to lose at my own pace.  I have relied heavily on what clothes I can fit into and how I look in my clothes....I also took measurements a few months ago - I stillo have to take some more and see if there has been a change :-)  You are doing awesome!  Just remember it is a process  - and one that is uniquely yours!

 

You have done incredibly well!   That is so awesome and a great success story ....Happy 6 months to you! 

Here I go again, but what am I doing wrong?  I started at 285, lost 29 in the 6 months before surgery, day of surgery weighed 258, had surg on Sept 5th and now have lost 46 more, I weigh 212 now !  My 6 months check up is in about 2 weeks and I am really depressed...... my doctor told me I was fine and I was losing slowly, but I was fine....  I read all these posts of people who had surgery around my date and I feel like a failure at this, ( which has been my fear all along!!)..... Any help or advice will be most appreciated..... Congrats to all of you by the way !!

You are doing a great job! Be proud of yourself and the wonderful job you have done.  It is a process - just go with the flow and all will be fine!
