Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Now that I have come to terms with the surgery part and mad emy decision to do this how do you deal with the waiting?

It is triggering some emotional/stress eating I thought I had under control.

I'm working through it, but now that I have decided what I am going to do I just want to move things along. I know it takes awhile and I just need to be patient.

But how did you cope with the waiting time before hand and not twirl out of control?

There really isn't much you can do but GET READY! I started sorting all my Vitamins and putting them in the little case so I can start/get used to taking them now.

I also started looking for my Protein shakes. I literally just left the Vitamin store. I was just staring at the Protein Shakes for like an hour. But...I have an idea of what I'm looking for.

Also, start changing your diet. I am replacing one meal with the shakes and minimizing my caloric intake. I joined a gym and started a bootcamp.

Cleaning up helps also. Getting stuff organized, out of your house, in your house, in it's proper place, etc.

Well...I guess I'll take that back. There is plenty you could do to keep your mind off the time. :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
