Today I went for my check up after gallbladder surgery and my scale at home says I lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks (not banded) but frs office scale said I only lost 4!!! I was so upset! I've been doing so well with my diet and nasty protein shakes and exercising. I'm so depressed now!!

So the big thing is he told me it will be a few months, 2 or 3, untill I can be banded cause I need to drop 30 lbs. my BMI is too high. Sad and upset and need some encouragement!

And I'm seriously considering going to a medical weight loss clinic and getting appetite suppressant pills, water pills, and b12 shots to help me drop the wright fast.....

Help

Stop...breathe..refocus.....Remember even if the Dr says he wants to wait, he is putting your safety first. That is an awesome Dr.

The better health your in at the time surgery probably also helps your recovery.

Come here often and receive the support to get you thru this hurdle.

I agree with lauralou779, Relax, count to 3,and follow your doctors recommendation. He wants you to heal up from the previous surgery. Im familiar with the appetite suppressant pills, which you may want to stay away from them since they are a part of fen, fen, ( phentermine) which are known to sometimes increase blood pressure and Heart rate, something you dont want to happen. Stay motivated and focus on your long term goal, It will be OK.

I got told a week before surgery my bp was too high and I couldn't have it if it still was day of. What do you think that did to my bp? But instead of bursting into tears like I wanted I asked how I could fix it (for me it was adding a pill to the mix, giving it a week, and thankfully it worked) and then doing what he said. Sounds like a great dr. Yes frustrating. Cry or scream or vent if you want. And then do what he said - you'll be better off in the long run. I am so sorry though.
