Starting To Become Discouraged...



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I started my Journey back in September. I went to all my seminars and my Doctor appointments and finally got a date of 11-14-2011. Which was later changed due to one other test my Doc wanted me to do. So I was rescheduled for Surgery which should of been 11-30-2011. Now just to be certain my Doc wants me to see one other Specialist so now I have to reschedule again. Has anyone else been through this. Everything is approved just waiting on my Doctors clearance. She has all the time in the world to schedule me for any type of Doctors she wants me to see. But she always waits to the last minute to do it and I am soooo Ready. Starting to think that it is not going to happen.

Took me 7 months to get through the wickets...didn't really "mind", felt I needed the time to get my head on straight before they started fixing my tummy...

Looking back on it, it felt like it happened very quickly, so don't get disappointed...I am sure anything your doc is asking for is only for your safety and protection!!

Don't know what happened to my last post. As I stated It's not that I am rushing, I just feel that she has enough time to get these test done besides waiting until a few days before. That is what annoys me. Especially because I have to keep doing this dam diet. I am hungry....

        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
