Getting Sleeved On 3/19/12 And Getting Anxious!



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I'm Jenny and I'm 24 years old & at the beginning of the journey I started out at 250lbs and I have been on pre op diet for 7 days and I have 7 more days to go but the good news is that I am DOWN 9lbs. SOOO Excited! It's crazy that that is how I have to do lose weight by starving myself, but all in all I'm loving it. I'm very excited baout the surgery, but at the same time with it only being 1 week away I am getting very anxious! I have thought about it for a long time and have tried every diet you can imagine and some worked but as soon as I slip up all the weight that I lose comes right back. IT'S A LOSING BATTLE, that I want to start winning!!!! I have been overweight since a kid and i'm just tired of being the "fat person" and my husband and I want to start having kids in 2 years and I have got to do something before that b/c I want to have HEALTHY BABIES!!! Most of my family has been supportive, but some have not and think I should do it the old fashion way, which I've tried and tried and tried. So I basically told the non-supporting people to save their breaths b/c I'm having this done and NOTHING or NO ONE PERSON will change my mind. I am ready for a CHANGE! I also want to do this and make it look very easy so even though I'm telling my husband how EASY(lie) the liquid diet is....I am soooooooo lying b/c my plan is to have this done and make it look easy b/c I want him to do it. That's right I'm going to trick my husband into surgery but it is only b/c I want him to lose weight and feel good too.

STARTING STATS:

24 years old

5'5

Starting weight 250lbs

1 week after liquid diet 241.6 - 7 more days to go

I will update as much as possible and add a pic soon. I'm really excited about this site b/c if it was not for all the you tube videos and seeing how well some of the people did then I probably would not be doing this now. If I encourage one person to do this then that is my goal! TTYL

I think it's great that you are doing this and not letting anyone tell you differently. Don't let anyone get you down. I think you need to be honest with your husband though. He's going to realize anyway that it won't be easy if he happens to do it. What if he decides not to do it?

Congrats to you! I am on my liquid diet as well. Starting at 160. I had the band for five years. I am getting a revision. Today is my second full day and I want to EAT oh my goodness. I am proud of you for sticking to it 7 days

      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
