I am so relieved to hear I am not alone! I think we all did the 2lbs a week for x weeks calculations and decided what size we should be by ______ date. It's really exciting! We made this really difficult decision to do the most drastic thing we can think of.... surgery. Granted we all decided to go the slower, more healthy route and do lapbands instead of gastric bypass. But still. Surgery was a tough decision nonetheless. And for alot of us it cost us a pretty penny. To not see the results we hoped for is tough to handle. And to accept that the rest of our lives we will be dieting and struggling... that this was not a way to be free from that struggle... is difficult. But we CAN do it and we MUST do it and now we have alot of help. From our doctors, from our bands, and from each other. Stay positive. Stay strong. Keep trying. BE HEALTHY!
