Struggling!!!

A whole year has gone by already and I have received more negative than positive from family and so called friends. Now I am concerned and feel ashamed because I have not lost as much as I should have. I did not even celebrate my first surgerversery (sp). Just healing from two major surgeries at the same time (RNY & gallbladder) was enough but now I realize that the negative reactions sent me more into a depressive state. My starting weight was over 500, maybe there is a willing buddy out there who has been successful with losing a massive amount of weight too.

I'm sorry you are struggling. I'm having bypass on 8/29 but I'd love to help you any way I could.

Hello sorry your not losing at the rate you would like to but are you still losing at all?

Hello. Just keep trying and don't listen to others. I everyone loses at different paces. I had surgery in January and feel like I am not losing enough either. Plus having back, leg and knee issues that worse than before I lost the weight. I will be your buddy

Sorry to hear that you have not had support from your family and friends. Please feel that you are supported on this forum. There are a lot of people who have had surgery and that most of their support comes from online forums. I'm one of those people. You are not alone.
