What are you afraid of?

Dying young

Heart attacks

stroke

Never seeing my girls grown with families of their own

Someone seeing me naked

Resturant booths

Failure

Cloth shopping

Loosing my hair

Loosing my teeth

Never being a normal size

Job interveiwing

Crowds

Flying (small seats and smaller seat belts)

one size fits all

Does your fears motivate you or hold you back? The jury is still out for me.......I know what I am suppose to be doing, I just not sure why I don't do it. Is it fear of failure or something else?

I'm afraid of losing my band and getting fat! The more I read and research, the band may not be a life time device. So I’ve been thinking of plan B and how to live without a band if it had to be removed.

I live each day for today!

I'm afraid that I will never be able to lose weight.

I am afraid that I will become fatter.

I am afraid of cancer.

I am afraid of being in a terrible car accident.

I am afraid of dying before my son is on his own, because if I died, he'd have no parents and have to be raised by my crazy family.

I am afraid that I will never get married.

I am afraid that I will never be completely independant.

I am afraid of spiders or flying insects.

I am afraid that I'm not a good enough person and God wont accept me when I die.

I am afraid of being disliked for my weight.

I am afraid of being naked with a man.

I am afraid that I'll never get my band and will lose hope forever.

I'm afraid that one day I'll give up trying.

My biggest fear is losing people I love.

My next greatest fear is being incredibly poor when I'm old, as I have no retirement savings or plan...I just barely get through each month.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
