GOING INSANE, PLEASE HELP!!!!



Recommended Posts

I have started making my list of items I am going to need before and after surgery. I have been to gyms in my neighborhood to find out what they offer and cost of memberships. I even have been in the stores looking at my dream size 10 regularJ. So I have found something’s to distract me, but the surgery is never far from my mind. I call the doctors office to ask questions and make sure they have all my test results and I have my seven week count down going. Thank you all for your word of encouragement and support.

If I had to do it over again I would cook and freeze some 1 cup servings of mushy stuff. Right after surgery I just got so tired for the first couple of weeks. I would cook a couple good Soups, maybe a gumbo, a good chili, etc. At least it will already be cooked and all you will have to do is wirrrr it in the blender! Good luck.....lost another 2 lbs yesterday....this sleeve ROCKS!!!!! :) Having a great year!!! (Sleeved May 23, 2011) :)

I love the idea of going through and arranging all my old clothes. I hadn't thought of that, I have so many old things that I'll be able to wear again, I think I'll do that some tonight. I'm sure I'll want to buy some new things, but I have a ton packed away. Thanks.

I'm so glad this thread was started! I am 23 days away and have been really stressing. I've been trying to keep my attention focused on planning for it. Heck, I've already packed! The time is just dragging! I, like you, thought perhaps I should leave the forum for now, to force my attention else where, but I just can't seem to do that. I'm even neglecting my farm on Facebook tongue.gif

I love the idea of freezing the meals and cleaning out the clothes. I'm going to get busy on this!

I think it's amazing how supportive the folks are here! Glad I stumbled onto this site!!

You said "do do". lol

Kala, I was depressed to tears right after my surgery for a good two weeks. I finally got really stoned, had a couple of whiskies, made a party of one, and was OK the next morning. I don't recommend doing that, but do do something to break the spell. Best wishes.

Take it from me. Don't hang your happiness on getting the surgery.

The weight loss is great, don't get me wrong. But, I'm depressed as hell.

kala

may i ask, why are you so depress. does it have anything to do with being sleeved?

      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. 🤞
