Rough Next Several Weeks!



Recommended Posts

So it seems one minute I am "yayyyy" because I hit onderland(actually it was a couple of weeks ago). Now I am like OMG! Mother's Day is creeping up and it will be the first Mother's Day since my Mom passed away (a week after my surgery) - but the next day my hubby will be leaving for Cypress/Israel where he will be for at least several weeks!!!

My non-surgery-but-doing-awesome weight loss buddy is going to Philadelphia for however long to properly spoil her step-grandchild. Again "yayyy" but poo!

I need hobbies...lol

LOL, Pookey! I thought you had bunnies to help keep you busy?? This is a rough weekend for me as well, but, luckily, I'm going to spend at least a few hours of it with another poster here! I met Colorchic and her hubby just before she had her sleeve done. I'm really looking forward to seeing her progress since surgery!

Do you sew, read, or anything else? Maybe you can concentrate on that for a few weeks until things calm down again? I need to pull out my quilt that I've been working for over 2 years and get some work done on it!

I do have hobbies, actually - I was just whining...but it so happens my favorite company is my hubby.

I think it is that he will be missing stuff we had planned - really looking forward to doing with him - so I will feel his abscence more.

I ride bikes, play with my bunnies, tend to my carnivorous plants (and others) - lately I am researching inexpensive ideas to re-do the kitchen and bath (till we do his dream kitchen once we are sure we won't be moving). I am also back into devilsticks & flowersticks, contact juggling, and boxing, krav maga (a little less on the krav maga until my sleeve is healed better) and I am back into european swordplay (double swords rawrrrrrr!).

I can keep busy, and I am not really lonely when I am alone - but really like being around people right now. Hmmmm.

This will be my first mothers day without my mom also. My dad also let us know he has a new 53 y/o girlfriend (he is 70) that he will be going to visit on Sunday. The urge to stuff food in my face has been almost overwhelming. We will get thru it. Probably with lots of tears, but we will get thru it!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
