I just wanted to ask you all if there is any any hope at all that this weight will come off..because right now I dont see any. We took pics of new stuff that we bought with me in the pics and all I see is this DISGUSTING HUGE FAT CHICK that has been busting her butt for 8 months now and still no change. I still have ONLY LOST 39 LBS THAT'S IT!!! :cursing:And 13 lbs of that was the pre-op flippin diet!!!! :huh2: I stuck all those pics at the fridge and the pantry so I would see them so I wouldnt eat. I'm starting to believe that this whole lap band surgery was a HUGE MISTAKE. I'm a failure at everything I try to do and now weight is just another thing to add to my huge list of failures. They made it sound so easy, that I would lose the weight with hardly any problems. I try to eat right and exercise and what do I have to show for it NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHIIIINNNGGGG!!! I am still wearing the same pants I did before surgery, I still have this huge stomach that wont go away...I go for my 6th fill on tuesday..and I cant wait to tell the doc that I'm one of his failures..that no matter what he does..it's not gonna work..this fat is stuck on my body forever.:tt2: I'm gonna die an early age because I let myself get this big on this small frame body of mine and the fat is staying no matter what I do. :glare::drool:

Yea I'm gonna die sooner than I wanted to because I cant lose any weight and it's gonna kill me and then my family is gonna have to pay huge for a big casket for my fat ass. :tongue:

k I'm crying so hard I cant see the screen anymore so I'm gonna go

good luck to you all in trying to lose weight..but for me I believe I'm done.

Yea all this pain and suffering I went through to get this surgery and what do I have to show for it nothing but SCARS!!! :glare::glare:

sweetie, i'm so sorry you're going through this! my heart really goes out to you.

are you still taking your meds for PCOS? maybe you need to get the dosage checked...? do you keep a food journal? if so, maybe you could show that to the doctor on tuesday and ask for feedback. or maybe book in with a nutritionist.

i know this is tough right now, but i have faith that you WILL be able to lose the weight!!!

hey Girl! Don't give up on yourself! 39 pounds is NOTHING TO SNEEZE at! Just look to the future.. If you lost 39 last year, 39 this year.. that would be 78 POUNDS gone forever! I would love to wake up tomorrow and be thin again, but it didn't come on like that, and it definitely isn't coming off any quicker! lol! I agree people made it sound easier than it really is.. (TV commercial makes it sound like you will never be hungry again)! but it DEFINITELY is a tool we can use to get where we need to be! I just wish I had done it sooner! I kept waiting on the doc to tell me it was OKAY ............ Finally, I decided to take back my life and went to Mexico to get the band, and I still haven't told my doc! He is probably going to freak because I did it against his advise.. but he didn't know my body.. Only you can make these decisions for yourself! You hold your head up high! You haven't failed YET.. Giving up would be the worst thing you can do for yourself! If I gave up, I would be so big I couldn't get through the French Double Doors! God Bless! Hang in there!

Dolphin, I feel your pain. I am 3.5 months out and still haven't lost what I regained post op waiting for fills. PLEASE take comfort in your 39 pound loss and quit being so hard on yourself. Take all these well wishes and bolster your spirits and re dedicate yourself to the battle. You can do it, you have already proven that.

Hi, my name is Lisa. YES there is still hope!! You've lost 38 lbs- that's awesome! I went into the LapBand surgery knowing that this was going to be a slow process. The weight isn't meant to come off quickly. My doc said that the time range is 18 to 24 months for goal weight. Yes, it is frustrating and I've been dealing with my own demons with this. Also, if you tell yourself it's not going to work, it's not going to. You have to change your attitude to a positive one. I KNOW this is hard. It's not always easy keeping upbeat about it. Meet with the nutritionist at your doctors office. Try Weight Watchers WITH the Lap Band. Look at your habits. Are you drinking enough water? Eating too late? You CAN DO THIS!!! YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE. I was told by my dietician that this was just a tool. It won't lose the weight for me. I still have to do the work. Yes, hard to swallow after going through all of the preparation and surgery. But it's true. Anyhow, you're not in this alone and can do this. Ball's in your court!

Get yourself pumped up!!
