Girls its no failure. You just have to get the restriction correct. You can't fail if you work with it. Let the doc deal with the restriction and us deal with what we eat. Ive hit a stalemate at the mo. Ive got just over a week til first fill and I was a bit down in the week, but we are all still new to this, we are no where near our sweet spot yet. Don't feel down Em, I cant stand it, we've all done something wonderful in doing this and we're gonna all do it together.
Serenity, don't worry about the amount youre eating as long as youre eating the right things. It wont do you any harm, when can you book another fill?

(((hugs))) to you all that are feeling down, I am sure once you get calibrated right you will all be much better, none of this is easy not even with the bypass its a scarey thought to think things may fail but we have to think they will work and it just takes time. Hang on in there, it does not help with the weather and time of the year, a body is designed to store fat in the winter so you will also be fighting against that, none of you are failures, if you were you would not of got this far and would of been quite happy to not bother doing anything, but you took steps to remedy the situation and IT WILL work, xx

None of you have failed. the whole mental thing about eating which we have developed for years can't just go away overnight! the op can help with some of the old eating habits but your mind is another thing!!! give yourself time and just remember that every pound off counts!!! try to kee positive i know it's hard at times but you are making huge steps in the right direction xx

Hi ladies, just remember why you made this big step. You accepted that you needed help to remove that weight and you have not received all of your tool set yet. Your body is not in the proper condition to drop more weight so YOU can't have failed. And returning to bad habits is normal when you are stressed, just do the best you can until your fill. You have given yourself a gift by doing the surgery only it comes piece by piece, don't call it broken when it is just not complete.

Chins up, congrats for getting this far (so many aren't brave enough to even try) and make some colourful date books slashing through the days untill your fills.

You havnt failed at all, you just need to have the fill and get your restriction sorted, try ringing the secetary at the hospital to chase your appointment up, Stay strong and treat each day as a new one, keep your chin up, all is not lost.
