With my Many, many years of dieting and failing I did learn that muscle weighs more than fat. Are your clothes to big? are you measuring to see if you are losing inches? I have read that there is a fair amount of people who have the bypass after trying the band and not having the weight loss they expected. I wish you best, hang in there!!!

I guess my impatience is that I have absolutely no control over what is going on. I am a 5 yr breast cancer survivor and do the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. My next walk is in Washington DC May 3 and I need to train walking up to 10 miles a day. It takes about 2-3 months to get conditioned and I'm afraid I won't be strong enough or keep hydrated for the walk. I usually walk 13 miles each day and not the 26 miles the first day. I would love to lose enough weight that I could walk at least 20 miles the first day and 13 the second. I also am not able to do the fundraising after the surgery because of the weight lifting restriction. I make jewelry and have to set up EZ ups, 6 ft tables and have to lift heavy boxes of jewelry in and out of the car. I have to raise $1800 and have raised $800 so far. After the bypass, once I recover I need to have my shoulder operated on soooooooooooooooo I am a little stressed!!!

I'm so sorry to hear of your lack of support with your family. I live with my older sister and she is over weight, never diets and is more afraid of what will happen to her if something happens to me. Luckily the majority of friends I have told have been very supportive. All I can say is you have my support!!! If someone has never been over weight, they have no idea how you feel. Sometimes you have to just ignore all else and stand up for ME. I don't know if they are afraid you will change or afraid of the surgery but I wish you the best!!!! I am waiting anxiously for my date and hope you keep posting here so you receive support from those who know how you feel.
