What Do You Fear Most?



Recommended Posts

My biggest fear is something going wrong during the surgery and I die... Second, it's having extremely loose skin that flaps around everywhere, third, it's losing all of my hair and last but not least its getting kidnapped in Tijuana... Can we say hypochondriac much? Lol

of course your fears are real and valid...we all have them..but my biggest fear was not having surgery so that is why i posted that..isn't that was the post was about, our biggest fears???the surgery is non reversible and life altering so please don't think that i'm down playing any of that. I never once said the surgery wasn't a "BIG" deal so please dont put words in my mouth. this surgery is the BIGGEST decision of my life thus far as im sure is was for everyone on here.. good luck with your weight lose

We will still be hard to carry postoperative so we will be safe about the kidnapping part Jes! But I relate to your fears totally. Anesthesia scares me so much! Especially cuz I'm high BMI.

Not lose anymore weight I have been very very slow 3 1/2 weeks and I'm only down 10lb. Biggest fear not dropping any more pounds and being fat forever. I don't worry about losing hair there are hair extensions and designer wigs.

I'm losing slowly too. BUT, I haven't gained any weight back that i've lost and at this point in the past, I would have. Wouldn't you? So lets just keep plugging along!!

(I like your new pix!!)

Failure. 6 wks out and down 14 pds I feel like i did this drastic surgery for nothing. It sucks. Could care less about hair loss it will grow back.

Mufasasmom- it's NOT for nothing!! It will come off. It really will.

I fear that being thin won't actually fix anything. I've been very large since high school- I don't have any concept of what it's like to be a "normal" size- that's scary.

      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.
