Do I have that? Maybe. I am pretty cranky. I just feel sick and very weak. My surgeon is far away and doesn't call me back. I am so frustrated trying to stuff enough Protein and Water in to make it go away so I feel stronger but it isn't working yet. I am on my forth huge jug of Water for the day which will give me 80oz but its half water and half gatorade with 2 dashes of Fiber shaken in just for FLAVOR!

A. Cranky

B. Emotional

C. Short tempered

D. All of the above

The lack of calories and carbs is making me short tempered and cranky for sure. I'm normally very peppy and I don't deal well with tired and helpless and sick. And with your young kids, it got to be tougher. (Thought you posted earlier about 3 young kids yes?)

Trust me its not just you. It's part of the journey as far as I can tell from watching others, and myself.

I do have young kids. I have 7 kids ranging in age from 39 to 9 (seriously). 3 are grade school age.

Very inappropriate. In the medical professional, does she not understand her limits. There's a federal law that protects your "personal health information." In no way should she have asked you anything about why you were there. I would report her ass!!!!!

I agree I agree I agree!

All of this discussion about why this woman said the things she said would be one thing if it were a family member or a friend or acquaintance. But she was not! She works the desk at the lab!!!!!

I feel like the fat people/friends are just jealous. Sad to say but I think its true.

I think you may have a point. I feel like they are mad that you are doing something they are too scared to do themselves, even though they know they probably should

I think sometimes, people are just ignorant. I don't mean that in a name calling sort of way, but just to say they simply were not taught any better. However,that's still no excuse. Its like my dad always says, if ignorance is bliss, then they're a solid blister. I thank God every day for my parents and the things they taught me as I was growing up.

      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.

      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.
