Unhappy Weird Pain

Hi,

Last week I was getting a weird buring pain in a place I would not suspect is a problem site. Nevertheless, I did call and Kelly thought it might be musculature and not anything else. It went away but today I sort of stretched up a little and the pain came back and now it has me frightened. I will call tomorrow but would like to hear that some of you have experienced similar burning pain. On another note I'm experiencing depression about my weight loss. Tomorrow I will be three weeks out and I'm so worried that this will not succeed for me. I don't think I'm losing weight. Help!

Terry

Talking Just hang in there!

Terry, Don't let the depression get you down and if it seems real bad maybe you should talk to someone and get some meds. Am I correct in assuming you have lost about 35 lbs? That seems pretty good to me. I took that from your sig line.
Email me if you just want to talk. You are my hero, I can't wait to get to where you are.

Terry,

I am with you on the weird pain thing. I some weird painful stuff going on. One that I had lasted for two weeks went away then came back. Potts and Kelly told me that it was nerve coming back to life. I scared me as well. But they did go away as weirdly as they came.

Depression...at 3 weeks. I went through the same thing. My biggest problems was that I was compairing myself to other people. I would see stuff on here of people lossing 60 pounds and 100 while I was at like 18 lbs down. I finally just had to let it go. And yes I did believe that the surgery had failed for me. But it did not. I just lose slower than most. You on the other hand are doing fantastic. Keep up the good work and don't compare you weight loss to other people. We are all different we gain differently and we lose differently. Be proud of yourself girlfriend you are doing fantastic.
