kimba6999 125 Posted May 28, 2014 I would love to find a good support group I am gaining back what I have lost and could use a mentor or support group please help I dont want to go back where I started anyone out there that can give some support . Hey pam. We ate all here to support each other and sounds like you need some. I was sleeved in Dec 2013. I have been doing real good but a couple weeks ago i got real depressed and didnt do so good for about a week or so. So i started looking through some old pics of me and thinking about how i felt at that weight and thought what can be so bad that i would want to feel like that again. I had to figure out what was making me feel so down when i have so much to look forward to. I got back to basics and started tracking everything entering my mouth and watching my Protein. I make sure i get to the gym everyday and not just phone it in but make sure i push myself everytime. You have come so far pam, dont turn to old habits. You are worth way more than that. You deserve to be happy. Were you happy with yourself prior to surgery? Remember how you felt and ask yourself, is it worth it to be that way again? Stop and think about it and get back to basics. You know you can do it cuz you already have!! Personally i have a counselor to speak with when i need her to help me thru the rough Patches cuz we all have them. I am only 5 months post but have lost 95lbs. I post a new pic of myself every 6 weeks on my wall in my house so everytime i question myself and my journey i look at how far ive come and it helps keep me on track. Stay with us! We r all here for you. Let us help. Please get back on track, YOU are worth it! [ATTACH]44931[/ATTACH] 1 vipgilbert reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chelenka 827 Posted May 30, 2014 Try searching the forum to see if there is a support group in your area. If not you might someone who lives in your area by searching your state and city name and who is willing to be your buddy. A lot of people use My Fitness Pal to connect with others for support and encouragement. We are all here for you in cyberland as well but I understand the need to connect in real life with someone. Also, a therapist can help. Does your surgeon's office have a counselor or support group? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
