Anyone ever feel like your gonna fail.



Recommended Posts

I guess I have just failed at every diet ever and I am thinking what is different about this? I have the sleeve done two months ago and I have lost 43 lbs and that is awesome but just keep wondering is this really gonna work!!

Only like EVERY DAY! I guess it's natural for most of us, for some of use we've struggled with weight for DECADES and the fact that it might be OVER for us is hard to accept. The fact is that you CAN FAIL too - but I would think it would really take an effort to bypass the pouches limits, whereas before it just happens naturally.

I HOPE this is my FINAL and COMPLETE lifelong solution.

I think the sleeve will continue to do its part as long as we continue to do ours. If we eat healthy and stop eating when our stomachs say that's enough I can't imagine failing. Be positive, your doing great with your weight loss. Janine

I'm absolutely terrified of failure. Probably more scared of failure than of the surgery, recovery, etc.

Every day. Every time I eat something that isn't mostly Protein, I feel guilty. I worry that it's my bad eating habits coming to get me. If it seems like I can eat more one day than the day before, I worry that I've stretched out my stomach. If I feel hungry, I worry that my hunger feelings are back to stay and I'll start over-eating again. If I accidentally eat too fast or more than I should, I worry that I've started binging. It's enough to drive a person crazy.

I worry about it, but in the end logic always wins out. I know that I can get all of this weight off and I can keep it off. I just have to stay mindful of my choices. Luckily, it's easier than it's ever been before.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
