So disappointed --it's been over 3 weeks and I haven't lost ANY weight , barely even a few ounces - I don't understand what I am not doing right . I did visit the Dr and he mentioned that the weight loss will slow at some point- and 50 pounds is a good amoutn to lose on 4 months ! Guess sometimes I just expect it to "melt away" and disappear like magice, and it is completely true when they tell you that bariatric surgery isn't a magic fix, but a tool to teach you how to lose weight and eat properly. So maybe the sips of soda and the daily bites of chocolate have hindered my future success. Yep I am one of the ones who said eh a few sips or bites won't hurt my weight loss WRONG- so take it from me only put the absolutely healthiest food in your small stomach. It really will effect the outcome . And it will seem like an ok idea at first but the second you read the scale you will know that I am right and wished that you had heeded my advice.
I have vowed to not " cheat " anymore I only want to put healthy stuff in my body from now on. I want to feel AND look better - I am satisfied with the 50 pounds but I would be lying if I said I didn't want to lose more . My goal is 20 more pounds, to weigh 130 . I can and will get to that point through proper nutrition and exercise . I really should try to make it to one of the support group meetings , they really help me to listen to others who know what I am facing and give great advice about dealing with the issues, so if you have the chance to go to a support group meeting I say go and give it a shot
