Went for my 6mth check up, have dreaded it for 3 months. I lost a lot of weight in the first three months.. over 70 lbs then it just stopped in January for nearly a month < enter pre menopause > wrecking havoc on my body, I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis so I had been told my thyroid was now non function, then it kicked in again. I'm the caretaker for both my parents and I'm worn out constantly. What all this boils down to is that I actually gained 11 lbs in those 3 months. Granted I'm still happy with the 70 that I had lost but I was devastated and depressed to the point of throwing my hands in the air. I did not get to see my surgeon but saw the nurse practitioner who had no words of encouragement for me except "eat more protein". I'm depressed, I asked about help.. I did not have this depression before. I know I would never have gotten to where I am already without sleeve, I just feel like I failed myself :( Sorry for the pity party.. Id love to go to the support groups but they are an hour from my house. I am going to the nutritionist to get a refresher on some foods but just can't believe this got away from me :( Thanks to everyone on this board for helping through this Journey you have been my best support system.
