The last few weeks, I have absolutely regretted having this surgery. So far, it hasn't done much for me. I actually lost more on my pre-op diet than I have since surgery. All my clothes still fit exactly the same as they did before. Measurements taken and only lost a quarter inch...in one wrist. Just the one.

I am following my nutritionist's guidelines about intake and exercise to the letter. I double measure (measure then weigh) everything that goes in. I do not snack, I do not eat high fat or high carb things. I get in all my Water and then some. I move more, I force myself to do more throughout the day, not just when I'm exercising.

Before my surgery I heard all sorts of wonderful things about how the sizes just fell off in the first few months. I am two months out and I am still exactly the same size. My insulin resistance is not resolved at all like they said it would, my blood pressure is still high, I am still morbidly obese. I know its not going to go away overnight, but I put a lot of money I didn't have into this to try to lose weight and its just not happening.

I am not a whiner, not a flake. I work hard for everything I do and I am working hard for this. 65 pounds gone including pre-op and I'm still exactly the same.

I wish I had never done this.

I love how you broke this down. It was eye opening!! Thanks for sharing this. It really helps to put things in perspective.

You're welcome! I hope you're feeling better today!
