Something is wrong and I am so worried that this wont work because I am not using this tool right. I dont want to be judge just really need support from everyone I am picking more than eating and that is sooooooo wrong I need to get back on track this is definitely a huge change I dont want to fail at it...........feeling sad and discouraged

Not sure what support you need here. You've stated that you are eating like you should. Why not? It sounds like you are self sabotaging.

I feel like I am not eating right maybe is true just being hard on my self????

If you want constructive feedback, it would be helpful if you provide a lot more information -- how far out are you? Weight lost thus far? What and how much are you eating daily? What are you grazing on? What has changed post-op (and when) in your eating behavior? How long has the grazing been happening?

As the others have said, without a little more detail we don't know where you are in your journey. It's difficult to know how many calories you're eating when you graze, even with WLS, it's still basically calories in and calories out. If it's been a while since your surgery and your having difficulty losing weight, I'd suggest tracking calories using Sparkpeople or MyFitnessPal.

I am a little over a month lost 32 pounds so far I just cant get much food down so I eat a little now and then later pick at it again and so on been doing that for over 4 days maybe it was because I just started my shakes again I was told by my Doc to stop them for a while. I guess I should just go to my support groups and try not to be hard on my self and keep pushing forward and stay focused. Thank you all for the support and responding to my post

OK, so at a month you're still learning to live with your new stomach, it's going to take some time but I'd still recommend tracking your calories. I tracked calories for the first 2-3 months, although I've been losing weight steadily, I still track once in a while to see what my nutritional distribution is. If you're having confidence issues, definitely take advantage of your support system, now is the time to fix the things that are a problem.
