Anyone else?!?!?!
I will be 3 months post-op on Wednesday. I have lost 48 pounds in all. Now don't get me wrong, I am super happy with almost 50 pounds in 3 months but I am frustrated. It seems like I only lose weight for about 1 1/2 weeks a month. Then I have a stall for the rest of the month. I do think I am losing inches still but I am SOOOOO ready to be in "onederland". My goal was to be in "onederland" before school starts back in August but I am still 27 pounds from that. Is there anyone else that only loses for a few days out of the month?
Now, for the good news. I have had so many NSV's.
**I am now able to buy shirts from the regular size clothing section of a store. not quite there on the pants thanks to my pear shaped body but I'm definitely getting there.
**I can walk up and down steps or hills without feeling like I need an oxygen tank
**I feel good
**I fit comfortably in the bathtub now
The list could continue on and on. I love my sleeve and am excited about where else this journey is going to take me.
I definitely have losing periods and non-losing periods. During my losing periods, I'll lose something like a pound a day. Then, I'll hit a non-losing period, and I fluctuate, but maybe only lose 1-2 pounds over a longer period. I haven't tracked how long these are, but it definitely messes with your head. For some reason, I thought I had barely lost anything last month. But when I checked my Body Tracker on OH, I had lost 14 pounds last month. I don't know why the bad times seem to stick out in our memories more than the good. Don't let it mess with your positive attitude!
