I'm discouraged also! The amount of food & calories I have each day should equal weight loss, but not happening. I'm 4 1/2 wks too; only down 5 pounds

love your input - my surgery is in the am so I'm sure I'll be checking back frequently!

that is awesome to lose that much in 4 months - before you know it you'll be at your goal!

tomorrow am @ 7:30 am

my first day of clear liquids preop did not go well; my nephew's birthday party with way too much food to resist (my willpower sucks). Wish me luck Monday thru Thursday, surgery Friday! Thank goodness for this forum.

Nicki - I would continue, keep praying, when one door closes another will open; best of luck to you

My surgery date is Friday, March 30th - cautiously optimistic I can do this! Good luck March bandsters!!

is it possible to move your appt up to discuss your feelings? hang in there!

that's why I have only told a few people, even only 1 of my 5 siblings know - I don't want people giving me negative feedback!

good luck - with this website we can all help each other - my surgery is 3-30 - I'm afraid I will fail also, but together we can encourage each other - god bless all of us and give us the strength we need!

you can do it; hang in there - god bless!

Just wondering how long you were off work if you have an office job? thanks

most doctor offices will help you with the appeal process; if your doesn't, maybe another doctor will help you out. I read most appeals go through if you want to go through the hassle. There's also a book, weight loss surgery for dummies, that tells you how to appeal. hope this helps.

I am scheduled for March 29th - cautiously optimistic that all goes well - hubby is a wonderful support - Hopefully I go from I think I can, to I knew I could!! Could luck to all!!
