May 17 Weigh in day...Down one more pound 222 lbs.

I am 222 lbs. this morning so I will continue on the diet as planned. I keep telling myself "slow and steady". I have been checking out other peoples' menus and I realize my situation is really bad. I can't imagine eating next to nothing like other RNYers. I remember 1 day post op in the hospital eating 3 oz. of food and a protein shake. I didn't feel like I swallowed anything and I knew something was terribly wrong. Some of the posting people are eating next to nothing and lose several hundred pounds. My surgical weight was 200 lbs. and I can't even get back to 199 lbs. without struggling. Generally speaking I am sad and discouraged that my surgery failed me. My life has gone downhill since the RNY. I feel like a failure. I am grateful that it happened to me rather than to a younger person. I am 65 years old. I'm not buying any green bananas anymore. If this had happened to a 20 year old it would have been much worse. Tri
