Need Encouragement



Recommended Posts

You wouldn't know it, but I had my surgery a year and a half ago and am just now losing. My surgeon wouldn't give me any fills. He said I wasn't losing so I didn't deserve one. So for about a year it was as if I didn't have the band. No resrtiction.... no fills.... nothing.

I switched doctors and am now the tightest I have ever been. Lost 12 pounds last month and I am finding that people are saying "Finally!" and its really bringing me down. I feel like I just had the surgery all over again and that people look at me like.... your a biggin' surely you cant be full with that little food.< /p>

Any thoughts? Encouragement?B)

WOW.. sounds like you had an awful doctor. .. 12 lbs is great! I believe that taking small steps in the right direction is whats working for me right now. Just try to stay positive and keep working hard and you will continue to be successful. So what if you only really getting started now.. focus on the fact that you ARE starting! Be proud of yourself! You can do it! :drool:

12 pounds is amazing, but honestly 3 or 4 a month is amazing as well. Keep working and pushing towards your goal, now that you have a new, hopefully more respectful doctor you'll be on the track to losing. Congratulations and don't give up.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
