Hating My Body Even More?!



Recommended Posts

Now that I'm getting close to surgery (I'm waiting on approval from Aetna) I find that I'm hating my fat body even more than before. I guess being preoccupied with how I'm hoping to feel and look "after" has me wanting even more to escape this gross, jiggly, HEAVY body. I wish I could unzip it and get OUT of it!!!

Anyone else feeling the same?

Instead of hating your current state.....start to praise God for your future state...stay hopful...when I was in my final week I was content, excited, and nervous all at the same time....

You are feeling normal, hang in there and you will unzip the new you soon. In the mean time just relax and think about your new wardrobe. Good luck to you,

Don't feel bad for wanting to unzip and step out of the old body into the new, I am 3 months post op and I'm down 72 lbs, I started my journey at 334 lbs and am now 262 and I still tell my husband at least 5 times a day that I just want to wake up tomorrow and weigh 175 lbs and be done with all of this mess! In case you haven't guessed, I have no patience

I feel the same way! Like the real me-who I used to be- has had enough with being taken over by this food-addicted obese outer person! While I'm practicing positive thinking, I still get "mad" at myself for getting like this and at food for being so irresistable! I can and will resist- the surgery is just the answer to my orators once snd for all! I can't wait!! Hang in there-a year from now we'll be like 10 years younger! Yaaaa!

I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone!!

I'm so ready to make this change and leave this fat, unhealthy body behind. I want to start feeling better and know that I'm getting healthier and healthier! I'm ready to DO this thing and sweat it out and prove to myself that I'm strong and steel-willed and beautiful!!

Not just on this particular issue, but this journey as a whole. The people here, for the most part, are supportive and caring and genuine, and i have a feeling I would lose my mind without this forum!!

I feel EXACTLY the same way... Lately I have been feeling realy down on my body and finding even more flaws all the time... Its funny becuase right before I opened this I got a company wide email about our Annual Softball game asking who was playing and who was being a "cheerleader" I was litterally texting my husband saying how at next years game (in OCtober) I hopefully (fingers crossed) I won't be too embarassed to play!

Lately everytime I look at myself I am just disgusted!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
