Hello everyone! I am new here. I’m usually strong and independent, but today I feel like I can use some encouragement. I had ESG on 2/12/18. I’m 5’9, and my starting weight was 225 lbs. One week post-op, I weighed in at 216 lbs. Today is day 40, and I’m still at 216 lbs. Overall, that’s a consistent 9 lbs from liquid phase to 40 days out. I am extremely frustrated and discouraged. I feel like I made a huge mistake having this surgery. I was so hopeful beforehand, and now I’m ready to give up. I’m regretting choosing ESG over LSG. My mind is telling me I would have had much better results. Now, just to be totally transparent and honest, I have gone off the rails a few times due to travel and attending two family functions. I wouldn’t say I was extreme in what I ate. For the most part, I plan and cook my meals and travel with what I’m supposed to eat. What is going on? Should I schedule LSG? The next option is adding in medications, which I want to avoid. Any advice is much appreciated.
