Repost: So, you think you are losing too slowly?

You probably could lose as much with WW. but you cant do WW forever. And you would gain the weight back. That is why Lora's post is so important. Unlike WW, our new eating habits need to be forever to keep the weight off.

I am sure many people have higher expectations. But to me, that is more of a "WLS is a fix" mindset that brings disappointment based on expectations. It is a tool and should be used appropriately.

Try not to weigh yourself so much. Maybe just once a month. Instead take weekly photos and measurements. Keep a log of your NSVs so when you feel disappointed, you can look back and recognize how far you have come.

You know it's only been 2 months since your surgery. Your window is about a year, and for many up to 2 years to lose. And slow loss is usually easier to keep off.

I'm over 7 years out, and I lost pretty slowly. It took about a year to lose 100 pounds, and slowly through the second year I lost another 30 or so. Ultimately I lost 144 total.

For me, paying close attention to what I was eating early on helped me later when I didn't have as much restriction. I still don't drink with meals, I still eat high protein first, and then the best tasting veggies i can get. The hardest thing for me si to resist bread, so I just don't have it in my house very often. Same with white rice and potatoes.Something about eating them makes me what more!

Best wishes on your journey.
