Well my first fill is December 20th I've lost 50 pounds on my own and now I'm to the point to where I just can not lose any more no matter what I do. I mean this was my whole problem to begin with I would lose a little bit of weight give up and gain it all back plus more. That is why I got the ban I mean I know I have a problem with eating too much and I know a lot of people say I need will power but really if it was that easy I wouldn't have needed to get the ban. I say all this because I've only lost 5 pounds since my surgery and I'm afraid that when I go for my first fill my doctor's going to be pissed. Have any of you guys or gals experienced this? if so please comment. And if so was your doctor pissed?

Getting wls is like getting pregnant. I felt like it was my time. I read the books, took the classes, spent time with others that had children. NOONE could have prepared me for what it was like to have a baby. She was premature and colic for one year. I was sad, frustrated, and p'oed at the world because it wasn't what I thought it was. At the time, I thought... What have I done? This isint how it's supposed to be! Why didn't anyone tell me it was gonna be like this? But I got through it (don't know how some days). Eight years later and two more kids and I say she is the best thing that ever happened to me! I am so grateful. That being said when I see a new mom struggling or am struggling myself in these early stages of wls, I think it WILL get better. Everyone is not the same. Some struggle more than others and need more emotional support. We all know what do to, we ve all done our research. Sometimes things might not go as smooth as we would hope. But everything happens for a reason and we will all get through this one way or another. Sit back, take a deep breathe, and know that in the end it will end up how it's supposed to be. Pray and be grateful for all the positives in your life and know that we can be here for each other in a positive and supportive way;)
