Why do I feel like?



Recommended Posts

I'm meeting with my Dr tomorrow to discuss and hopefully choose my surgery date. I am going to go ahead with surgery no matter what - I can't go on anymore dieting and failing....but I'm starting to feel like "What if it doesn't work for me?". Is that crazy? I see everyone who has VSG look and feel wonderful and have had great success! Why do I feel like I would do this and lose only 30lbs and still feel like I am big??? I'm 215 now and would at least want to get down to 160 for it to be worth the money....has anyone else been scared of this?

Everyone is scared of that when they begin the process. And they are scared of complications. And they are scared of lifestyle changes.

I said it earlier today in another thread...

The surgery works, if you do. Effort = results.

Meanwhile, gather all the knowledge you can, get your head on straight, go in it with your eyes open. You will eventually make peace with all your misgivings if you learn all you can, acknowledge the risks, prepare and commit yourself.

Best of luck!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
