KristenLe 5,979 Posted August 17, 2016 Thank you. I just can't help myself and I've been feeling really down about it. If so petrified that this surgery won't work out for me. What then?

Sorry for being such a downer Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App You are causing yourself undue stress which won't help your body heal and lose. I know you know the surgery isn't magical. Losing the weight is a partnership between us and the surgery. If we do our part, the surgery will help us as the tool it is meant to be. Relax, follow your doctor's plan and focus on this journey. I am 8 weeks out and on my second stall which has now been 10 days. Do I want to get frustrated? Yes. Do i wish the stall was over? Yes. Do I truly believe that I won't lose weight ingesting as little food as I do? No. Our bodies are very fine tuned machines and are going to do what is best for them. We can only support that by doing the best we can and more. We are all in this boat together. Don't stress yourself out. It won't help you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
