Does anyone scared that they will not lose the weight they thought they would?

Please...no harsh responses....I'm 5 foot and I was 210 the day of surgery 09/15/03. As of today I'm at 176. So I'm starting my 8th week post op. I was totally ready and educated prior to having my bypass but for some unknown reason, I'm stuggling to do the things I need to do. I can not explain why but it takes everything in me to get up and get something to eat. Even when my body it telling me to. Am I lazy???? Is this normal??? I think on average I'm eating 300-350 calories a day which is outrageous!! I don't want to hurt myself but it feels like an uphill battle with myself. I know nobody can do it but me but it is unreal how my opportunity to lose the weight I've needed to lose so bad all these years is finally here and I don't want to comply. It has gotten so crazy because I have a hard time exercising because it zaps me so hard because of my low intake. I'm happy about the weight loss, but honestly feel a little disappointed because I'm losing so slowly and I know I'm the one to blame. Now I'm terrified that at this rate I'll never get close to my goal. I'll be lucky it I make it to 160. I drank protein drinks prior to surgery and could manage just fine. I'm not picky at all. But now...FORGET IT! I can't stand them. What is wrong with me???? Does anyone think a dietician would be helpful or am I just stubborn & lazy?????
