Thats what I feel like. Just a big failure. I look around the blog world and see everyone is at some point in their journey. They have lost either a little amount of weight or a huge amount of weight. I am no where. I have lost no weight. I have been banded for two months and I am no different.
I just feel like this is it for me. I know the band is a tool, I know I have to make my own choices. I know all of that. I'm just not good at it.
Why am I different? Why isn't it working for me? I feel like this is my lot in life. This is it, so just get used to it. I'll never suceed. This weight will plauge me for the rest of my life.
Wow, I could have written this. Have you gotten a fill yet? My first fill was okay but I definitely need another. Don't give up on yourself!!
ReplyDeleteWhen was your last fill?? I am sorry you are down but something will change! I feel like you just need to find your "trigger" Perhaps a quick jolt by doing a liquid diet for a few days?! Are you drinking enough water? Or drinking to much alcohol? Cheer up! I can only say I am scared that I will fail too!
ReplyDeleteOh Liz =( Maybe Amanda has an idea, maybe try a liquid diet for 2 or so days to kick start everything? Are you exercising? Things will get moving eventually =)
ReplyDelete:-( Sorry you are having a hard time. I was in the same boat at the beginning where everyone around me that had surgery around the same time had lost stacks of weight and I was not moving much at all. My theory is that your body will fight it until it has to give in and then it will let your weight drop. Stick at it, you will be fine once you reach good restriction, it can take many fills.
ReplyDeleteLiz it's taken me a long time to get where I am. I'm 9 months down the track. I remember how frustrating it was trying to get my fill's right. It took about 5-6 fills. And yes, it is just a tool. The biggest fight is with our mind.
ReplyDeleteWishing you luck, you WILL get there.
**HUG** I can so relate to what you are saying. For the first couple of months I lost and gained the same three - four pounds. It wasn't until I got my second fill that I started losing weight regularly. I'm three and a half months out and I've only lost 40 pounds -- and about 30 of that was pre-op. It will happen -- you will get there! **HUG** (again!)
ReplyDeleteAwww Liz, I hope your spirits pick up. I'm sure something will break for you soon. I wish you well.
