What is WRONG WITH ME???



Recommended Posts

Really it does get better. I really feel like I eat normally now. My portions are small, but I am satisfied and when I go out to eat, I eat what other people eat. I just can't eat as much. It's so worth it. I love not being fat anymore!

OK, I totally feel weird. I'm hungry and food tastes good to me. Does that mean I'm in trouble?!

lol I feel the same way, often I think I should be thinking like everyone else.... I enjoy eating,,,, I love activia vanilla yogurt... it tastes like a piece of cheesecake, love chicken broth with a scrambled egg in it, I can drink slushy drinks no problem.... some days Im thinking I wasnt even sleeved lol.... I wish I had that feeling of disgust or being full after one bite.... I worry I might be in trouble too

I feel your pain! Man have I had some bad times with this surgery. I'm a little over 6months post-op and I'm still having problems. I still think foods are bland. The best way to describe it to other people is the way food tastes after you've just had thanksgiving dinner. Nothing tastes good because you're so full right? Well its not because I'm full its just how food tastes now.. bland. I'm having issues with dizziness and Fluid intake. I still haven't gotten any help I have a bunch of symptoms that could be related but I justt feel like crap everyday! I guess I'm still going through that starvation mode. The upside is that my hair isn't falling out as much as it was before. Sometimes food smells good and if it tastes ok I can get a lot down but thats rare. I often have the same question.. "whats wrong with me!?" I hope you feel better.. I know I probably didnt help much!

        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.

      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
