Dec 10 Is My Day



Recommended Posts

Seems so far away and so close at the same time. Not looking forward to the holidays because my husbands family is Italian and everything is food oriented. AND I have chose not to tell them about the surgery which is causing a little more anxiety as well.

First off CONGRATS on your date!!! :)

I just got received mine; Nov 13th!

Other than Italian we are in the same situation with our in-laws! food is the center and I have not told them. I do not intend to tell them, but I find myself wondering what kind of freedom I would experience if I were open with everyone. hmm?

I'm African American and our holidays are over loaded with food and family. I've told my family and they are very supportive. We recently had a family cook out and I noticed there were a lot more healthy choices.

Mine is dec 3 so I am only 7 days before you!!! This board I plan on using to help me through the holidays!!! I know that it will be hard but there are so many supportive people on here!! I am not telling all my family either so. I know what you mean since people won't know. Don't stress you will do it!!!!

Ugh! My date is Nov 21, right before thanksgiving. I'm the one in my family that normally cooks the big meal. My family all knows about my surgery so they've just made other plans. I feel really sorry for my fiancé though, none of our family lives in town and he doesn't have time off. I offered to still cook for him but he feels guilty. I think our plan is to kinda avoid our friends at dinner time to avoid the torture for me. He's being very supportive but it is sad thinking about all the great flavors I'm going to miss out on., especially cranberry sauce.

Stay strong everyone and think about the jumpstart you're getting on your New Year's Resoluotion!

My date is December 10th and I am ready-I think. I think I freaked myself out from watching YouTube videos. I think I need to start working out now to try to tone as much as I can.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
