My confession my eating habits have not been good the pass few days. I am not over eating, but I am not getting in my protein. I been sick. It is hard to focus on protein when you do not fell well. However, I feel better today. Praise the Lord!! Also, I went shopping this weekinfg and was a little diasappointed. I am eleven weeks out I have drop four dress sizes in pants but in tops I have drop five. I am in an 16/18 from a 22. I wanted to be in a 14/16. I am just having myself a litle pity party. I know it will come off in time. My tops are 14/16 not my pants. Thanks for listening!!!

You are doing so well, don't be discouraged. When is the last time you have dropped that many sizes in three months?? This process can be discouraging but in order to lose in the healthiest way, we must let the process take its time. Try to enjoy the journey, not just look at the destination. Kathy

So sorry you've been sick!

I understand your frustration in wanting to lose more quickly. I went through that a lot during my shrinking stage, too. Deep breath. You are going the right direction and you will get to the healthy, fit version of yourself.

Be at peace, darlin'. Just keep doin' the deal.

It is worth it!!

I am preop, so not where you are yet... but I do know waiting is hard! I have no doubt you will not only make those 14's soon, but will slide on past that number as well.

Hang tough my friend! :) Sorry you've been sick... that is probably affecting your frame of mind as well, at least it sure does for me!

I am 8 1/2 weeks out and I am at a stall. I went from a 20 to a 16 that button and zip. I feel your frustration.

Sorry you haven't been feeling well, but hang in there.. This too shall pass....
I have lost 50 pounds total and can wear a pants size 14... My tops range anywhere from a XL to a L... Part of the problem is my chest... I was always a little too well endowed... Well they are shrinking, but they are rather flabby.... They prevent me from getting into a smaller shirt..... I know in time they will catch up with the rest of me....
I am learning (slowly) to take each accomplishment and relish in it.... Yes this process can be slow, but I am finding it is soooo worth it...
You will get there.... You are doing GREAT!!!!!!!

I always find the clothing comments somewhat frustrating. I am 11 weeks out as well and haven't had to buy ANY new clothes! I have lost close to 60lbs and have been working out like mad but my size 20 jeans (although looser) still fit appropriately! I feel like I have lost very little in terms of my torso size...would love to see the clothes falling off me - no such luck as of yet...I guess maybe my clothes were very POORLY fitting before surgery...still waiting for a NSV!
