I had my surgery a little over two years ago, and did really well in the first 6 - 8 months, losing around 65 lbs. Since then, I injured my ankle, quit working, all while completing my BS degree to become a teacher. Now the little bit I lost (which was no where the amount I was shooting for) is starting to creep back up and I'm becoming deeply depressed that I got this great gift and I'm a complete failure at it! I was limited in my exercise due to my injury and the eating habits, even though the amount was limited, was going in the wrong direction. Is there anyone who may have been in this case that has been able to bring themselves out of the depths again whom I can talk to??? I know the fault is mine and I'm having a hard time with motivation and feel like that there is just no use anymore!

I have thought about maybe the bypass would've been a better choice but until I get finished with school I won't be able to try another surgery. I want to start now getting back on board and I was curious to see if anyone has been where I'm at and could "talk me off the ledge" so to speak.
