One Month Post Op
Apr 21, 2012
April 20th-I am a month out from surgery, and I have lost 23 lbs. Although I am happy...I feel that I should have lost more! I know it must sound crazy..but it's true!! I feel like I had this major surgery, and have drasticly changed my eating habits...so why is my body not responding like I thought it would?Also, I feel like the people that I have told about my WLS are watching and waiting to see results. A few of my friends did voice to me before my surgery that they thought that having this surgery was quite extreme. So now I feel like I must prove to them that surgery was well worth it! Now I know you must be thinking that if they were my true friends that I shouldn't have to prove anything to anyone but....I am letting my insecurity get the best of me! (and I might be a little paranoid!)
I also think that as I am slowly losing this weight that I am dealing with some old feelings from the past. I have always been a yo-yo dieter. I must have lost and gained the same 50 lbs over and over again! I think I am feeling exposed. I feel like everyone is just waiting for me to lose the weight, then to just turn around and gain it right back! I am scared! Scared to disapoint myself and others!
Did you ever feel this way? Or am I focusing on the negative instead of the positive?
