disappointed - 5 days ago i thought my life was going to change..

hun, sorry you are feeling so sad, disappointed et al

you do know why you had WLS

as times passess - you will remember all the reasons you went through this

as your weight drops, your health will improve

i no longer take insulin/meds for diabetes - high blood pressure gone

other health issues of mine have also improved/resolved

co-morbities always improve, but many, many, many times "they" disappear!!! :)

you will feel better about yourself, allowing for even more good changes

your life is going to change!!!!!!

but you have to work for that change!!! :o

there are some other people that have "buyers remorse" right after surgery

you are not alone!!!!

you made the wise decision to have this life changing major surgery

please don't doubt yourself now

your aches and pains are not being minimized - but i'm so glad you didn't have any serious/major problems

many/most of us understand the "unfortunate" feelings of being naustious, tired, feeling bad all around

can't say enough that things should/will improve

is anyyyyone around for you to talk to???

mom/hubby/friend???

when you feel a little better (which you WILL)................

call your doc/NUT and find the name of a support group

if you had surgery out of state/country - no doc or NUT to call????

call your local hospital

just tell them your situation, just had bariatric surgery, looking to reach out to others for help/support/advice

i'm sure they will be helpful :rolleyes:

people that you have things in common with are very helpful, not only now, but as weeks, months et al pass

ONLY drink Water right now

your poor little tummy was just invaded :angry:

its very sore, and you must/should/need to treat it with TLC

please don't drink anymore sugary stuff - or any soda crackers - or even puree til you are given the ok

things get better as time passes :)

could be as hours pass, or days - but you will feel better gradually

all the pain was nothing????

the pain was/is for everything good you will be experiencing as time marches on

don't worry about Protein right now - that will happen

for right now - no one can emphasize enough the importance of drinking (no sugary drinks ok :blink: )

you are starting the journey to a healthier, happier, longer life :)

feel better, so you can enjoy the ride

hoping for your recovery to improve daily

we are all here to give you support :)

good luck

kathy

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
