Having A Rough Day...



Recommended Posts

Seems like no one understands what I'm going through so of course I turn to you guys. Having a rough day at work... Been trying to stay included during lunch time with my co-workers so I'm still "eating" with them. Got lost in the moment and ate too fast and scared the crap out of myself. Pain, vomiting,hot flash. And they all looked at me like I lost my mind. Have to say..not my best moment.

I'm sorry about that episode you experienced, and I was thinking maybe you could find a support group in the city you reside in? The more support the better. :) hope you are feeling better!

I had the same thing. Got tired of eating alone so went to sit with coworkers with my small bowl of chili. I felt really awkward eating so little so I ate too fast. I'm not going to try that again till I feel more comfortable with my purées. Hang in there. I know it will get easier.

I'm in love w/this forum. But I have a couple of people who I can call or text w/any questions or experiences I have. My mentor in this thing is a client of mine who had the same surgery I had 2 1/2 months ahead of me, & she's been invaluable to me. There's an extra sense of comfort & comradere in knowing I have someone in the flesh who is sharing in my experience. If u can't find a VSL buddy, I highly recommend a 12 Step group, of which I also belong, where there are people who know exactly where your mind is. Altho this forum is awesome, nothing replaces actual people. Hang in there! It gets better! :)

I'm sorry this happened! Don't give up! I know what it is like to feel like the only one TRYING to get along with everyone. Next time maybe concentrate on the conversation going on at the lunch table and less on your food. You know...chat, chat, chat...bite...chat, chat, chat...bite, repeat. :) I say this not being a good conversationalist myself so take it as it is, just a thought, nothing I've practiced.

I am so sorry you had to go thru this but now you know your limit, I guess that is good right? Good old fashioned practice i all you can do. Best of luck!

Sometimes we learn our lessons the hard way! I have for sure. Sometimes I forget I had the procedure and realize when I'm eating. Thank goodness I don't experience any bad side effects. I wish I did though, that would make me think twice. :) LOL

      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
