Confused and annoyed



Recommended Posts

My surgery is this Friday the 10th, and I have been trying the liquid stuff for two days and feel awful today. Like I am getting the flu, is this common when you are not eating? Anyway, I have contemplated cancelling the surgery like 20 times already since I scheduled it a month ago. I annoy myself and confused with all of these emotions. Like, do I really want to put this in my body? I guess these fears are probably "normal" but I am a mess.

Thanks for listening,

I think it is normal to feel awful when you are not eating. I know I ALWAYS do!! Hang in there!!

I really believe that you'll be sorry if you cancel the surg! It's the best thing I've ever done. But you have to do what is right for you! Don't cancel because of fear though, only cancel if you think it's really not right for you! Good luck you'll be in my thoughts!!

I can say for myself.. I feel like CRAP!!! I am grouchy and irriatable all the time. I have a headache and I still have 2 weeks to go on this prop diet. I have too considered giving up. But we can't !!!! Hang in there. I know it is not going to be easy, but it will be worth it!!! I will be praying for you. I hope this helps you..

I think it's common to get sick. Especially since you are not eating how you are used to eating, your body has to process this a new way, and you may be more susceptible for a few illnesses, or your just run down and having phantom symptoms. But most surgeons let you have surgery unless you are 1) Running a fever. 2) Throwing up. 3) And/or Its respiratory. Good Luck, I am in the same boat, just a few more days until my surgery!

Time to double up on the Vitamin C and zinc. Otawalla has a drink called Monster C and I would chug one. It works really well when you feel illness setting in.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
