    Feel like a failure

    Thanks for all the support guys. I haven't been back to my surgeon, therapist, or nutritionist, in a long time. I feel too ashamed of myself. I will somehow try to find the courage to pick up and try again with some of the rules that they taught us

    Feel like a failure

    Hi everyone. I am about a year and a half post op. I did really good in the beginning and lost almost 60 pounds. But I've fallen off the wagon really bad. Not only have I stopped losing weight I've actually gained about 10 pounds back! I feel like a total failure. I fell back into my old routines of not exercising and bad eating habits on top of eating sweets. I think that I've stretched my sleeve out to the point of no return. I feel terrible that I failed even after having surgery. I don't know what to do to fix my mess

    Old habits creeping back in!

    @@jane13 no I can't. My problem is at work. I'm a nanny and they always have the house so full of junk!
  5. Hey everyone I'm only 2 months out from surgery and I already have my old habits creeping back in! I'm back to eating sweets and grazing! I'm feeling so helpless right now I don't know what to do!

    Central Jersey support

    Hello everyone! I had the vsg on August 24, 2015 and am wondering if there is anyone from the central jersey area that wants to get together to talk and make new friends. Let me know if you are interested and we'll set something up!

    Post op and feeling weak

    Thank you guys so much for the input!
  9. Hello everyone I had my surgery on Monday August 24th. I'm home now and really struggling to get my liquids in. I'm terrified of getting dehydrated! Today I have started feeling weak and a little lightheaded. Is this normal? I guess it makes sense since my body is not used to getting barely any calories and maybe that's why I feel this way but I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

    Surgery tomorrow!

    Thank you everyone for the responses! I am on anti nausea medications every 6 hours or so. I'm still feeling a bit weird. It's hard to explain. It's like when you haven't eaten for a long time and ur stomach is grumbling and u don't know if it's nausea or pain or what. That's what I'm feeling. Yes I'm still in the hospital I'm trying to get down my 24 ounces of liquids and when I do that and keep them down I can go home..hopefully today! I'm really struggling with the liquids though. I get a lot of gas when I drink them

    Surgery tomorrow!

    I honesty don't even care about the food. I'm regretting it because of the pain and nausea that I feel. Nausea to me is the worst and of course I'm nauseous ???? I hope this passes soon!

    Surgery tomorrow!

    It's Sunday 10 pm and my surgery is tomorrow at 12:30! I'm soo hungry lol and very nervous I'm thinking if I should really go through with this! I'm sooo afraid that I'm making a huge mistake by doing it! It may be the nerves talking and the fact that my life will never be the same...fear of the unknown. I hope all goes good tomorrow ???? please keep me in your prayers and thoughts!

    Need to vent!

    I actually didn't want to tell my dad either. And if I didn't still live with him I wouldn't have! I agree I have to hold my head high it's just frustrating. This is MY journey not his! How dare he tell other people when I specifically asked him not to! This is something that is so personal and he's just been a big problem from the very beginning with it.

    Need to vent!

    I'm getting sleeved a week from tomorrow (the 24th) and I told my parents and asked them to please not tell anyone. I found out today that my father has told at least one of our family friends. He of course told his wife. I'm sure that it has already spread throughout the town and I'm PISSED!! My trust in thst man is completely broken and gone! The Portuguese community is for the most part close minded and don't believe in a lot of things. I'm sure I'm going to get people saying that I took the easy way out and that of course I'm losing weight and all this ****. I'm so mad I never want to tell that man anything personal ever again! ????????????????
