Has anyone else ever expierienced this or felt this depression also?

I really am in need of support. I used to be a pretty active member of this site but now six months after my revision surgery I am so depressed and feel so removed from all in here. I feel I have nonething to contribute to this site or the support of others. I have only lost about 40 to 45pds since my surgery. I have a drs. appt this week and am embarrassed and scared to go. The last time I was there I told him how depressed I was, asked him why I did not feel full like I should and why was I able to eat large amounts of food. He has ordered a upper GI to be done this week. What can he tell from that? Has anyone else out there has such a slow wieght loss as me? When I read all the successful stories of others I feel so depressed and guilty. I try to eat small amounts, no sugar etc. I feel hungry all the time. I just cannot get in the routine with the protien shakes. I do feel better since I have lost some weight and get out more and get more excercise than before surgery but it is the whole wieght loss thing. I just feel like a failure, feel like I should have lost more and don't know why or where I have failed. I really need some support, how do I get going right again and how can I find out how or where I have failed myself in this quest for a healthier me? Please help? Any advice would be so appreciated! Thank-you!
