I'm struggling so much lately and I'm so frustrated! I've lost & gained the same 2 lbs for 6weeks. To make it worse my husband came home with Jelly doughnuts from Dublin doughnuts! I know my family cane eat what they want & they are always thoughtful about foods they bring in , and they are so supportive, but I guess because I'm going through my own thing not loosing, I actually sat on the bed & cried like a small child, I wanted to sit & eat & say screw this whole thing! I'm just having such problems family, emotional, financial that I just want to give up. Not to mention my RA & FIBRO is flaring up I'm in so much pain I just want to give up. Thanks for listening peace, Mary

Mary how many weeks post op are you and where do you live.

I ask about your location because I am in the DFW Texas area and I am in the middle of a bad RA flare.

Take a deep breath. ...we all go through stalls ..I actually have one every other week. ..don't dwell on the 2 lbs you've gained...focus on the total weight you have lost..emotions are normal. ..just sit back and instead of saying "I can't eat that doughnut"..say to yourself " I don't want or need that doughnut"..trust me temptation is everywhere we just need to have self control and think of that reason why we did this in the first place!

MaryMcgr62. Don't give up, i've been going through a lot of the same problems. I have constant nausea and vomiting. Been back to the hospital 5 times. I look at food when I'm hungry and I can't eat cause the nausea prevails. I've had to have IV fluids for dehydration.

Now I'm doing better eating food and not vomiting.. Don't give up I lost 87 lbs. since May 1st. I wanted to give up, but I keep losing weight and it feels so rewarding. I have a sister that eats whatever she wants and weighs much more than me and when we're together it

Disgust me how much she eats. It deters me from eating.

I get no support from my mom or sister. However my brrother and sister in law support me.

For now I'm eating and holding it down. That's why I had this surgery. Have faith it will work out..Good luck.

You can do this

I was the same way , vomitting, diarrhea feeling lousy & depressed now at 2 months out its finally getting better. Still have some tough days but learning to deal with it. I've lost 81 lbs so far so it's worth it in the end. ????

I understand how you feel I went through the same but I ended up in the hospital 5 times. It wasn't fun the vomiting and nausea are horrendous . But it does get better I lost 154 lbs and I'm happy with the progress. You will feel better about yourself. The surgical group I have use support groups for 5 yrs.
