I had my surger on 4/30. I lost 17 lbs prior to the surgery. In total I've lost 30 lbs. At 2 lbs per week I should have lost 51 lbs by now. I've had 4 fills. At first I felt no restriction. The last two fills I have begun feeling the restriction, but I've come to discover that if I stop eating for a few minutes the food becomes "unstuck" and then I feel no restriction. Mentally I have not been helping myself out. A lot of times it doesn't matter if my stomach is growling or not, mentally I want to eat. The cravings are just as bad as before surgery. I was going to the gym religiously for awhile but I wasn't losing. I'm so frustrated. I feel like I just wasted my money on this surgery and EVERYONE is watching. Even the people at the doctor's office are judgmental, but they have no advice on how to handle the mental hunger.
Has anybody gone through this before? Any ideas/suggestions? Am I doomed to fail?
