Off the wagon



Recommended Posts

Ok I have been avoiding this app and discussions. I am 7 months out down 73 lbs. I am completely off the wagon. I have very little support at home because my soon to be husband has no control. I am back to eating out and have completely stalled my weight loss. I feel I have failed. I need some motivation. I need some support. So I am turning to the app that I turned my back on. Has this happened to anyone else??? I feel so ashamed.

I am so sorry to hear that you are struggling. However, 73lbs is a fantastic accomplishment so stop beating your self up! You have come so far in such a short amount of time. Be proud of how far you have come even through the hurdles of a non supportive spouse. If this app helped you in the beginning it is time to come back and talk to your friends here.

I am very new to this site and already have found so much help and support here.

I really hope that you continue your journey and don't let nothing or no one stand your way. If you need anyone to talk with feel free to reach out and friend me.

Good Luck!

I'm with you! I'm almost a year out, and my food choices have been less than good. I've had major stressers come up, spent time in the hospital with one of my children and slipped back into bad patterns. Not only eating things I shouldn't but drinking more than I should.

Here is what I'm trying to do, first remember why I had the surgery. I wanted to be healthy for myself, my children and husband. Second I wanted to be able to be active. Then I'm trying to remember all I went through to get were I'm at. After all the complications, . I never want to go through that again.

We can't beat ourselves up, just acknowledge our choices and try to make better ones.

I pray that we will both get back to our healthy selves!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
