We can not allow ourselves to wallow in self pity any longer. That is why I have decided to have the surgery. I am going to make this work or else. Just try to remember back to when you were going thru all of the pre-op and the surgery and how bad you wanted it then. You are not that far off and you CAN get back up and DO THIS.

No more pity party, pick yourself up, FOR YOU. No one else (although you do have a little one to think about) make you happy this time. You are the only one that can do this for you.

I have found the people here so loving and supportive and we will all be here to be a sounding board and help, but I have found it to also be a great place to get a kick in the butt and get me out of my pity party too.

GO YOU :D

So glad I found this post...Girlfriend...I feel the exact same way right now. I've gained about 20 lbs of my lost weight back in the last 6 months after getting into a serious relationship. It's tough. My boyrfriend can literally eat whatever he wants and never gain a pound. And he eats A LOT!!!! I was scared to go to the doctor too because I was so disgusted with myself, but I finally broke down and called the doctor and nutritionist today. It's all about wanting it bad enough. If you don't want it bad enough you won't take the time to do it. I absolutely know how it feels to be sooo unmotivated from being so depressed and disappointed in yourself! All it takes is one day. One day to start to be better than who you were yesterday. And if one day you fail, try again tomorrow!!

        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
