Guess I Am More Emotional Than I Thought...



Recommended Posts

First day back at work.... Hurts to sit up in my chair for too long. Gotta suck that up.

What really got me to tears is a friend trying to tell me that I can't have gum. WTF!!!!!! Who had the damn surgery???? Who's gone through all the classes and pre op visits???? ME!!!!!! I know what I am allowed to do per my doctor. All she did was sit thru 1 seminar the office puts on to tell people about the procedures that are offered!! Made me so mad!!! I asked her to not tell me what I can and cannot do- that I am sure she was just trying to be thoughtful but I know what I am doing!!!!

I came home and cried. :-( Don't know why it upset me so much.

{{{HUGS}}} I am overly emotional pre-surgery, nervous to think how I may react to people after the surgery. :unsure:

I'm SO emotional right now too! I'm a week out from surgery (and doesn't help I'm expecting my period in a day or two). I called my best friend yesterday to invite her out to a baseball game on Sunday since I'll be a wreck waiting around all day on Sunday for surgery the next day. She flat out said no...then backtracked with some excuses. It shouldn't have upset me...but it did. I cried on and off for hours.

My big annoyance at work was my boss filling up the huge communal candy jar that sits right across from the bathroom I visit 20 times a day with all these damn liquids. Oh well...4 more days of work :P I hope things start getting easier for you :)

Oh, love, it's ok, you just went through a big thing, your body, your hormones are trying to figure out what's going on. I usually say, I'm pretty sure I can have it, but I will check with my NUT that held all my nutrition classes and make sure. Don't worry though, I don't think she'll butt in again since you told her.

Sounds like little miss "you can't have gum" might be a little bit envious of you having a surgery that she hasn't had.

Yeah our emotions are extreme and over the top. Just try not to completely push people away and they will probably forgive you lol. I was a crier anyway, so the first month rocked me.

Oh and as long as you don't swallow the gum it is ok. The worry is blockage. After my stomach was healed I started chewing again. I chew sugar free orbit bubble mint. Everyday.

        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
