My Biggest Fear Is Coming True . . .

[jedivy21 2]

Six weeks postop . . . still 14 lbs. down . . . the same 14 that were gone 1 week after surgery from the liquid diet. Made it through lap band hell and had a fill. That gave me some restriction, but no weight loss . . . I'm still snow covered, going through a recent separation, hence the depression. Not too much energy to exercise with all of this stress! Thanks for listening. I'm starting to think I made a mistake and should have gotten the sleeve. HELP????

I think all of the other posters are right. You might also try talking to a psychologist. Some of us had to meet with one pre-op. Not that you need any special help, but they could help you to work through the issues which are causing you to be stressed out. And they can help you work through the issues that arise in your weight loss journey.

This is not an easy process, not even for those who are losing. Its long and hard, and we can all use all the help we can get.

I am 8 weeks out, lost 30 lbs but nothing in the past month or so. Have not had a fill yet

so I am looking forward to getting some restriction. I was very discouraged but hopefully

that will change soon.

And Melzie, your husband should love you unconditionally. Lose the weight for yourself,

not anyone else. And if he can't accept you the way you are, maybe you would be better

off without him.

Hang in there!

Don't worry so much, just MAKE SURE you are doing what you are supposed to, not trying to lecture.. but it's the truth, I know none of us want to hear it. Maybe take a look at your nutrition, count calories and see why. There has to be a reason. You aren't eating 1200 calories and exercising 5 days a week and no losing any weight.

Last week, I slacked off, ate a little more than I should, and I barely exercised and I didn't lose any weight (or maybe 1/2lb) and I know why! It's my fault. The band is a tool, same with the sleeve or bypass. You still have to eat healthy and exercise or it won't work. If it was that simple nobody in the world would be fat.
