I am really trying 2 stay positive about this whole weight lost process thing . How do i ignore that the weight is not coming off when im counting calories, protein, n im execersing . Its tearing me apart bc i know its only a tool but i dnt think mine is working. Then im reading how everyone else is losing n being happy. I hear be patient. Well when u try something new n u see a difference that gives u motivation 2 keep going it gives u hope that u can do it. But when u dnt see the results or the weight go down what do u have... I have tears, fears, frustration, n headaches . I go 2 the doctor 2morrow im going 2 show him my food journal n request fill number 2 :-( tiffany

I hope your doc can give you some answers. Try not to compare yourself to others though. This is your personal journey and you will have your own bumps and victories. Some of us will be up while others are down. Thats why we are all here to support each other. Sorry you feel disappointed so far. You are doing a good thing by keeping that food journal. After that fill it may be you on here next week so excited about your weightloss. Keep at it.

Hang in there, Tiffany. Many of us have experienced the roller coaster of losing, not losing, doing everything right and scales still not moving.....

I am the kind of person that wants everything now, but I have to remind myself sometimes that I didn't get this way overnight, so it will take some time to shrink back down.

I agree with Jewel that it's a good thing keeping a journal. If I didn't do that, I honestly think it would have prevented me from losing up until this point (I haven't had a fill yet).

Hang in there. We will have our ups and downs, but overall, you are going to look back 6 months from now and feel so proud you stuck it out because you were so successful!!! :-)

How long has it been since your surgery or last fill? It's hard to be patient. It took me a long time to see any weight loss. Like the first 3-4 months just to get 25 lbs or so and I was sooooo anxious and felt out of control. Like oh great my last resort, drastic expensive time consuming surgery and this is it? Then I continued with my fills and restriction kicked in. I was banded in Feb and my the end of Sept was down almost 60 lbs..woo hoo.. enough to now feel like I could get to the gym. I am glad to say I'm now down 85 lbs..yes wish it was more but I'll take it and I can see the light. Hang in there and follow your dr's orders. Good Luck!
