Hi Guys im new

Surgery date was in April. Trying to find support now. I went from 277 to 243 which is only 34 lbs in 6 months. im really struggling. Most of my weight i lost prior to surgery. i am trying everyday. i need your help. smiles.

Hello...look at it this way...you are still 34 pounds lighter, which may not seem like alot, but that is 34 pounds less that your heart has to beat harder for. Did you have banding or RNY? Have you talked to your surgeon about your concerns...we all have struggled here, and we can give some great support! If you have any questions or just want to chat, you can email me! Leslie

Hi Nephila, Welcome to the board You didn't say, but have you discussed your progress with your surgeon? Are you having problems complying with your surgeon's program? What are you specifically struggling with? Complying with the program? The fact that you're not losing weight as fast as you wanted to? Don't give up! I agree with Leslie, it's still 34lbs less that your heart has to pump for. Take Care, Terry

Hi Nephila Welcome to the Maryland group. I don't have any more to add than Leslie and Terry have already said. We are all here to support each other in addition to any formal support program that our individual surgeons offer. Hugs, Mo

Hello, Welcome you will find awesome suppoort here. Glad you found us. Congratulations on your weight loss. I am sure the ladies will be able to help you in some way. I am on the process of going to my information session and I have a sleep study on the 15th. I am no way near surgery but I am praying it does not take too long. Take care and stay positive! Cira

Hi, Nephila. Congrats on the weight you have lost. Did you have the banding or the RNY? I, too, am struggling but i'm not that far out yet. I have found this site very supportive over the past few weeks. If for nothing else but to comiserate. Hang in there. What does the doctor say?
