Re: 1 Year Anniversay - I'm such a failure. | |
Firstly, 65lb in a year is not failing! Where do people get this idea that WLS magically makes your body lose 200lb in 3 months? 65lb a year is MORE than a pound a week which is well within the average figures that you read absolutely everywhere. You've done great.
Secondly, if you're unable to eat till 1 or 2 pm, you most probably do NOT need a fill - I'd be unfilling if I couldnt eat at all till that time of day. All that achieves is to set you up to be entirely depleted and unable to stop eating or make good choices when you finally open up enough to let solid food in. Breakfast is THE most important meal of the day!!! Skimp on it, choose poor foods and you are a thousand times more likely to eat badly later on. Food choices are down to us, its hard, it really sucks that there's no magic pill to end all our weight woes, but we simply absolutely have to make good choices and exercise.
And thirdly, if you have a doctor who's silly enough to overfill you THAT much and flip your port in the process then I'd be finding another one. Anyone can end up overfilled, it happens, our bodies take time to feel the restriction, you can be fine in the surgery and then in trouble by that night etc. But to get back in your car unable to even swallow saliva that quickly, thats way too big and aggressive a fill, and your surgeon should have more care, EVEN if you demanded it. That's quite a misjudgement!
