marymcg62 23 Posted August 30, 2013 I'm struggling so much lately and I'm so frustrated! I've lost & gained the same 2 lbs for 6weeks. To make it worse my husband came home with Jelly doughnuts from Dublin doughnuts! I know my family cane eat what they want & they are always thoughtful about foods they bring in , and they are so supportive, but I guess because I'm going through my own thing not loosing, I actually sat on the bed & cried like a small child, I wanted to sit & eat & say screw this whole thing! I'm just having such problems family, emotional, financial that I just want to give up. Not to mention my RA & FIBRO is flaring up I'm in so much pain I just want to give up. Thanks for listening peace, Mary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

annav562 40 Posted August 30, 2013 Take a deep breath. ...we all go through stalls ..I actually have one every other week. ..don't dwell on the 2 lbs you've gained...focus on the total weight you have lost..emotions are normal. ..just sit back and instead of saying "I can't eat that doughnut"..say to yourself " I don't want or need that doughnut"..trust me temptation is everywhere we just need to have self control and think of that reason why we did this in the first place! 1 chantdes67 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
traumatrish2 1 Posted September 5, 2013 MaryMcgr62. Don't give up, i've been going through a lot of the same problems. I have constant nausea and vomiting. Been back to the hospital 5 times. I look at food when I'm hungry and I can't eat cause the nausea prevails. I've had to have IV fluids for dehydration. Now I'm doing better eating food and not vomiting.. Don't give up I lost 87 lbs. since May 1st. I wanted to give up, but I keep losing weight and it feels so rewarding. I have a sister that eats whatever she wants and weighs much more than me and when we're together it Disgust me how much she eats. It deters me from eating. I get no support from my mom or sister. However my brrother and sister in law support me. For now I'm eating and holding it down. That's why I had this surgery. Have faith it will work out..Good luck.

traumatrish2 1 Posted February 26, 2014 I understand how you feel I went through the same but I ended up in the hospital 5 times. It wasn't fun the vomiting and nausea are horrendous . But it does get better I lost 154 lbs and I'm happy with the progress. You will feel better about yourself. The surgical group I have use support groups for 5 yrs.
