Am I on target?

MrsFlipFlops

I can't seem to decide... somedays I feel like I'm doing well and somedays I can't seem to understand why I haven't lost more weight. Since 2/1 (the day I started my low carb pre op diet) I've lost 33 pounds. I feel like this isn't enough, and I've seen others lose more quickly.

I'm having a hard time adjusting my eating habits and behaviors. I STILL love you eat. My biggest problem is eating out. Even though I don't eat as MUCH, I still eat, and when I want more I drink with my meal.

I just had my second fill, which helped, and I got for a third in about three weeks...

Can anyone tell me... am I on target? My doctor says I'm doing well, but I just don't feel like I am today!

so that's 33 pounds in barely 60 days....just how fast do you think you SHOULD be losing???

None of us put it on that fast....


re: "My biggest problem is eating out" I don't think THAT is the problem....re:"Even though I don't eat as MUCH, I still eat, and when I want more I drink with my meal." We all have to eat....how much do you eat and what are you drinking? Are you logging on a database tracking your meals/calories? And exercise?


And 'loving to eat' will come to be replaced with "Nothing tastes as good as being THIN feels"!!!

cheers on your journey

Please don't base your success on how fast or slow others are losing. Everyone loses differently. The band was designed for us to lose a healthy 1-2 pounds per week. Based upon that, you are doing outstanding.

I think this is exactly what I needed to hear. I just have good days and bad days I guess. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I think I need to really address the emotional aspects of losing weight. :-)

You're right 33 lbs ain't that bad. There's no way I would be down to this weight without the band. In fact, I'd probably would have put on 10 more pounds. lol

Thanks.
