Hi
I am two weeks post op, the first week I lost eight pounds and was delighted. This week to my disappointment I have lost two pounds. I know in total this is 10lbs and I should be pleased but deep down I am disappointed.
The hospital said that they only expect me to loose around 2 lbs a week so I must get that into my head and see a 2lb weight loss as a sucess.
I am to have me first fill on the 2nd June, this is soon after the op as I am going to the USA on the 20th June and if I don't have it then I will not get an appointment until the 20th July which the hospital says is too long a gap (3 months).
So I really think it is all good news and I need to get my head sorted out and accept that some weeks I may loose 2lbs and others I may loose nothing and thats ok as long as I am going in the right direction.
