TGIF!!!  I weighed in on Wednesday, and I've lost 3 pounds so maybe the scales are finally moving again.  I have watched more closely the types of foods I am putting in my mouth, and tried to make better food choices this week.  I have got to force myself to get back on track!  Have a great weekend!

I have been on a plateau for a month now and it is really getting discouraging. I am down 115 pounds and gone from a size 34 to a size 22 (size 20 in some things). I find myself so discouraged fromt his plateau that I have been making some bad food choices. I hope I can pull myself out of this funk pretty soon. It has been such an incredible journey so far, and I would do the surgery over a hundred times; I just hope and pray that I'm not through losing since I've still got about 75 pounds to go.

Today is one of those days! I weighed this morning only to find that I only lost 3 pounds last week. That really sucks. I have been walking on the treadmill everyday so I am trying to convince myself that I am building muscle and that is the reason the scales aren't going down as quickly as I would like. To lose a total so far of 44 pounds is wonderful. I mean afterall, it has only been 5 1/2 weeks since surgery. I know each of us are different and our weightloss will be different, but it is hard not to compare my weightloss to everyone elses. I go back for a 6 week follow-up appointment next Monday, and I am anxious to see what my surgeon says about the weightloss. Hopefully he will be happy about the loss. Maybe today will get better.

It is so hard to believe that this time a year ago I was still researching WLS, and wondering if it was for me. Now here I am 5 weeks post-op and feeling wonderful. WLS was the best decision I have every made.
