In Need Of Some Support



Recommended Posts

Ladies i am in need of some support in order to move forward. I've had my first fil and will need another one for certain because I'm not staying full. I havent lost anything in weeks and I am really frustrated because I am doing everything that I am supposed to and am in my mind right now not making progress.

I really could use someone who will be a support system, especially since we don't have support groups in my area.

Feel free to write anytime, I am trying to get some good support systems going. Be patient with your self, you are not in your green zone yet so your not restricted. You should try eating slow, setting down each bite after taking. avoid high carb sugar, and empty calorie liquides. you must burn more calories then you intake. So if you do make mistakes make up with exercise.

I would love a good support system too. Please try not to get discouraged - remember this isn't bypass, it isn't a quick fix but it can be a lifelong one. And many people have mentioned it takes several fills to get restriction... I know that's so frustrating but keep up the good work and the results WILL come.

Hey ladies we are all here to support each other! This is no easy road we have chosen to travel! Eating is an addiction!!! Every night when I lay down I check in here....kinda like my AA. All addicts need a support system!

Hi my name is Amy and I'm a over eater

So today was a better day, I didn't feel quite so alone today and that really helps. I haven't told but a handful of people about my band and sometimes it's a bit of a burden to keep to yourself. I have a very small (like 5 people) support group if friends and my husband who actually know, the decision not to tell just worked for my situation. I'm glad though that I can still find support with those who are actually going through the process as well.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
