Overwhelming feeling of fear of failure



Recommended Posts

My insurance Co. insisted that I go through a 6 month Medically Supervised Diet' date=' just so they can officially have in my record, that I am a "Bonafide Failure" when it comes to diets and dieting....therefore WLS is the only option left for me.....[/quote']

Same here! I'm so upset because I had my hope up but it's either this or another boring summer to look forward to

You are not alone!

I have lost 50 lbs and have been banded for 5+ months and STILL worry if I will be a failure or not

Will I reach my goal?

Will I keep the weight off?

Will I lose track of my exercise regime?

I worry all the time

I am with you. I knew I had to have this surgery but as I the dieted since I was 14 years old I was scared I would fail again. I still have some weight to lose but beleive I am classed as a success having lost 80 percent of my excess weight I want to lose the rest and maintain but still a little scared I will put weight on again but I beleive that if I follow my surgeons Instructions I will live the dream of being healthy and slim x

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
