i'm a nervous wreck



Recommended Posts

my school starts on monday, and i am moving back to my single quarters (with my mother) tomorrow. and i can't even find my keys! my hands actually tremble with stress. plus, other than the fact that i am trying to cut back on sweets and trying to exercise more (and am tired like hell) for the last 3 days, i have to get my second filling on friday. i feel so nervous. needles scare me, and the injection itself makes me even nervous thinking about it. whenever i lie on my back, it's fine, but the other way around, i can actually feel the bloody thing between my breasts. and what if now i get a second filling, i begin throwing up and i do it in school??? what if everyone realizes i had a weight loss surgery, and did not actually have my gallbladder removed? i have enough problems with school anyway, without the added stress of the band. plus, i had a goal set for 18th of september, to be 90 kg, and i couldn't meet it.

i am so stressed out, and all of it started an hour ago. yesterday, it was summer, and now it's the stress of fall.:think

Good on you for starting an exercise program! You will feel sore, and remember to take it a day at a time.

Sweety, you will not start "thowing up" Just remember to eat slowly, and chew, chew, chew!

And as for your goal? Just relax, you will get there. It is hard work losing weight, and if it takes you a few weeks or months longer than you wanted it to, it will still happen, right?

Here is a big cyber ((hugg)) for the stress. You sound like you need it.

Ok, take a deep breath and relax.

First, when you had your first fill, did your doctor give you something to numb the area first? If not, ask him/her if they can this time, as it makes a huge difference.

As far as school goes, just be careful about what you eat. If you are going to class, and eat before hand, try to do so at least an hour before. Also, eat foods that you know you have eaten before and you do not have problems with. And, as Aussie chick said, remember to eat slow and chew chew chew!!!! You should do fine.

Change is hard . I know myself, I really hate change. Just try and stay positive about what lies ahead. Keep things in perspective and try not to worry about things that might not even happen.. You have 2 big things in your life at the moment that needs your focus..Don't beat yourself up about not being at a certain weight by a certain date. So what, if the scales are going down slowly that's all that counts.

Take care and try and stay positive.

Maybe you should explain your extreme anxieties with your doc. Perhaps some meds are in order. Medication can make all the difference in the world. I know from personal experience.

        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
