Help that's where I'm at I need help

Yes the band is surpose to work for us, but I have done every thing that the Dr.;s say and counted my calories as well and measured my food intake, that is not working as well so now what, and for some one to get mad about some one speaking their minds, people can say what ever they wish and try to tell you that you have to do all this and you do and it still doesn't work even through your doning ever thing the Dr. tells you.

Getting wls is like getting pregnant. I felt like it was my time. I read the books, took the classes, spent time with others that had children. NOONE could have prepared me for what it was like to have a baby. She was premature and colic for one year. I was sad, frustrated, and p'oed at the world because it wasn't what I thought it was. At the time, I thought... What have I done? This isint how it's supposed to be! Why didn't anyone tell me it was gonna be like this? But I got through it (don't know how some days). Eight years later and two more kids and I say she is the best thing that ever happened to me! I am so grateful. That being said when I see a new mom struggling or am struggling myself in these early stages of wls, I think it WILL get better. Everyone is not the same. Some struggle more than others and need more emotional support. We all know what do to, we ve all done our research. Sometimes things might not go as smooth as we would hope. But everything happens for a reason and we will all get through this one way or another. Sit back, take a deep breathe, and know that in the end it will end up how it's supposed to be. Pray and be grateful for all the positives in your life and know that we can be here for each other in a positive and supportive way;)
