Help

I had my wls Feb 22 & I've only lost 8 pounds. I get in all my water and protein and try to walk 2 miles a day. really getting depressed about this. I'm eating the right foods and very little of it. Has this happen to anybody??

Hi Judy, The first thing u need to do is turn that frown upside down!!! And instead of saying u only lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks start saying I lost 8 pounds in only 3 weeks!!! Your body is still in shock from the surgery and it takes a while for your body to realize it needs to start burning stored fat as fuel. Don't worry though you will lose weight. I know it may seem frustrated, but stressing about it won't help. In fact there are some studies that say stress can stall weightloss. Just stay positive and it will happen Hugs, Sara 356/275/175

OK I turned that frown upside down!!!! I keep thinking of all the pain I went through to get my health back.. and only 8 pounds gone.. :0( Me not a happy camper.. I will take you advise and hang in there. Thanks for the little pep talk...I needed it. Hugs to you too!!! Judy 226/218
