A little disappointed

I had VSG over a year and 1/2 ago, I lost about 80 pounds, the rest on my own before surgery. I was told I was slow loosing because my body just didn't want to let go.

Then with loosing my jobs, home, and relocated 3,000 miles, away, and 2 dealth in the family. I stopped focusing on my body I have regained 25 pounds and feel horrible.

I am trying to get back on track, I know what to do- I am just a little frustrated

I spoke to my weight loss doctor in my area and he stated I need the second part, that my BMI was too high to loose the weight of the VSG, my employer won't cover the VSG- they do at 50% but they rarely will.

No monies, I know I can loose the rest of the 50 pounds on my own

I need some encouragement- has anyone else  experince this problem

I  have always had problems loosing weight, nothing has really worked, they have always told me that it'sjust my body.

HUGS!!!

Weight loss is different with every person.  My biggest gripe is that men lose faster than women (usually).  I joked with my boyfriend that I wanted my surgery first, because I want a head start - due to the men vs women thing.  If you have to do the rest on your own, just remember -- you've got support HERE!

I mentioned to an Online Buddy just today, TOPS - Take Off Pounds Sensibly.  They are a fabulous non-profit club that supports & has weekly accountability (weigh ins at every meeting), this might work for you.  I think if you had friends to exercise with (even just taking walks) you will see you the weight come off.  Life isn't easy, but you don't have to be alone, either.

If you need support online - I am more than happy to be there for you ;)
