Recommended Posts

Set the date up I'm excited but sad that no one in my family supports my decision !!!! All they say is exercise And stop eating so much !!! Its been really hard for me because i had never been at this weight!!! Ive been involved in sports all my life and after my son i have not been able to get on it :( i dont go out because im embarassed for people to see me !!! Im just ashamed of my body !!! Now im scared of my weight even my knees hurt sometimes , if u see me you would say it doesnt look like i weigh 210 pounds but i do

Remember, you are doing this for you. I am going through the same thing with one of my sisters, she keeps telling me all you have to do is this and this. I just stop talking to her about it, after telling her no matter what she says, I'm going to do it anyway. It is our choice my body, and I want it a lot lighter than it is now.

I remember being 210 lbs and thinking - that's not SO much. I don't weigh 300, I can do it on my own! And now I'm 305 lbs. I wish I could have done it on my own, but I've come to the realization that I just couldn't/can't. food is a crutch for me, and I need it to not be. We all wish we didn't have to take such drastic measures to do what looks so easy for some people, but we can't. I haven't told my mother I'm having the surgery. I think she would act the same way as your family. I wish you luck and I hope you find a way to pay for it!

        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.

      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
