The Enablers



Recommended Posts

Co-worker Ben just walked in my office to announce his $10.00 purchase of chocolates to share with the office. He told me eat as much as I want. My surgery is tomorrow. I told him to get out! I told him if he comes back I'm buying ENABLER t-shirts for the whole firm, and his will read ENABLER NUMBER 1. Last night my husband, knowing I was supposed to be doing the low-cal preop, made me a sandwich. I refused it, so he cut it in half. I refused it, so he gave me a quarter of it .... gulp. That started my binge. Why don't they get it?

Are there any chocolates left? I must be gearing up to be non-menstrual (that's peri-menopause for "I'd be having a period soon, if I were going to have a period...." Sorry guys!) 'cause I'm hungry, and I just ate.

Anyway, about those chocolates.... :cool:

Hey DeLarla,

Frustrating isn't it? The nurse I used to sit next to would lay Cookies and muffins and candy on my desk as soon as she would hear I was on a diet... man how I don't miss her. My hubby tends to do things like that too... I think they want to be the provider of our happiness... and maybe there is a small part of them that is insecure at the thought of us losing weight? Heck... even my sister would give me the remainder of her entire plate after she had the RNY. I stopped going out to lunch with her.

The best of luck today to you! Oh... if the chocolate isn't gone already could you put a couple on my old partner's desk?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
