My brain can't catch up!

My theory about the brain lagging behind is that the misery and sacrifice you make when you are dieting and exercising is not there after RNY. I remember when I would lose 50 pounds in the past.  I would work out for hours daily and would starve myself to the point of feeling painfully hungry.  I have now lost 81 pounds in less than 4 months while moderately exercising most days of the week and feeling satisfied after a few bites of food but I can't see a difference.  I remember losing 5 pounds in the past and would celebrate but that was because I was going hardcore with the dieting and exercising. After surgery, I feel like I don't appreciate the weight loss like I did before surgery.  Now I just expect the weight to fall off and get impatient when I don't lost fast enough!!!!

I feel like that most days. I think I feel that way because I have failed so many times in the past, that some of the joy is gone. The weight loss is somewhat effortless, so the hard work that I have put in with passed attempts seemed worthy of celebration. I don't know why either. My surgery was 11/26/12 and I have lost 62 lbs. but I can't get my ticker to move from my starting weight. You are doing  wonderful. Keep up the good work.

Congrats on your 62 lb weight loss.  If you go to health tracker and type in your current weight, it should automatically update your ticker.  I feel the same way about my weight loss being effortless.  In the past, I would buy new clothes after every 10 lbs. and   make a big deal out of the little weight I would lose.  Nowadays, I don't talk to anyone about my weight loss because I don't feel that I can take all of the credit for it because of this tool.
