1 Month Post-Op

Sep 23, 2010

Well, physcially I feel good. I'm getting stronger (although I need to start making working out a priority) and it doesn't take much to make me exhausted. I seem to tolerate all foods well, other than getting gas and bloating from foods high in pure sugar (not starchy carbs though for some reason). Mentally, I'm feeling very very discouraged. I've lost about 16lbs since surgery, bouncing up a pound or 2 every once in a while. That's only 5lbs since 10 days out. I keep hitting stalls, and they seem to last much longer than any periods of weight loss. People on the DS forum said this is a normal stall, but I see how much others have lost by 1 month out and I feel sad about my progress. I'm very very glad to have had a successful surgery with no complications though, so I'm trying to focus on the positive. I suffer from depression so I'm hoping I'm not slipping into the common post-op depression. I'm still so glad I had this surgery, just disappointed, and don't know whether to direct it at myself for doing something wrong or just my body for holding onto every ounce of fat for dear life. It can only get better though, right?...
