What If I Fail?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on October 15th. And I remember the self-doubt. I still have it with some bad days' date=' but there are so many tools and people there to help you & they won't let you fail. If you stick to the program most days and you ask for help when you ned it, then you can't fail.

For me, the best part is that my cravings for sweets are gone. Today at the store, I walked right past the donut case and didn't even think about them. I could care less. I never could have done that before the sleeve because I swear every donut, cookie & chocolate bar knew my name. No way could I resist them 100%. Forgive yourself for those mini candy bars (at least they weren't full size) and tomorrow is another day. Believe in yourself. You CAN do this.

And in the end, when you have had the surgery, you will experience days of peace and contentment & you'll know that you can only succeed. You got this!

Thank you for your response, that really helped calm my self doubt. I really am pretty good at eating healthy and working out, it's that I get discouraged. Or super hungry. I grow in the towel because I'm afrai I'll fail anyway, like every other time.

Oh i pray that my cravings for sweets are gone!!!! It's my biggest weakness. I'm glad yours are gone, happy for you!!

Oh I want this so bad!! Thanks for the confidence. (Hug)

      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.
