Regret

Has your physician set you up with the dietician to see what other changes that could be made? I would definitely explore why more has not been lost. I understand there are several plateau's you will go through and it takes a little tweaking of the diet to overcome them. Are you getting enough protein in?

are you exercising? and remember this surgery isn't a miracle it is a tool that everyone must learn to use to fit their own body ..........it very well could be that you haven't figured the tool out as well as you had hoped.........never regret you are doing amazing you have lost a tremendous amount of weight be happy about that and yes go see a dietitian.

I would say that you need to shock your body. Don't get discouraged. Whatever you were doing was working but since you have hit a plateau it's important that you change what you are eating, change your work out routine and most importantly stay connected. Whether it is a support group or these forums. Stay connected with people who are going through the same thing. Don't shrink away and remember that you didn't gain this weight overnight and even though this tool is very helpful it doesn't do all the work.

It seems like you didn't research the surgery well enough or ask the proper questions. The vitamins that you are on are what you have to take after gastric bypass. It looks like you were not well informed before the surgery. I am not trying to be funny but when you post something that pre op people or people considering the surgery may see and draw conclusions from, then you need to provide information that is outside of what the physician, nutritionist and psychiatrist did not already cover. I am sorry your husband is upset and that may be what is bothering you the most but certainly no one can predict weight loss from person to person. You didn't mention diet or exercise all we have to go on is that you are upset that you haven't lost all the weight you wanted within a time that you and your husband are more comfortable with. Please please don't be depressed regroup. Go see the nutritionist. Good luck!!
