Tired Of The Weight/wait



Recommended Posts

Sigh....sorry guys for complaining, but I am feeling pretty discouraged today. Tomorrow marks visit #4 of my 6 month supervised diet requirement. I am grateful to be over halfway done, but this whole process seems to be dragging along. I am so tired of carrying this weight around on my joints. My joints are starting to ache. Most days I don't even leave the house unless I absolutely have to (to go to work, grocery shop, necessary stuff for my kids). I am so ashamed of the way that I look. I am tired of my fat thighs rubbing together with every step that I take; tired of stuffing my fat body into these clothes.

I have used these months to do research, practice sipping Water throughout the day, not eating with meals, exercising, adhering to my Vitamin regimen, but nothing is helping to make this weight/wait more palatable. Tomorrow at my 4 month appointment, I will be turning in all of my records (5 yr weight history, letter seeking approval, and even pictures). I still resentful that I have to wait 6 long months before I can even be submitted to surgery. It just seems cruel and unfair, like kicking a person when they are already down. And then after the six months are over, there is no guarantee that it will be approved so then, there is another wait.

Some days I can deal with it better than others, but today is just not a good day for me. I just want to sit in this house or hide under a rock until I get my RNY!

I feel the same way. I understand you completely. I hate my body the way it looks having love handles all over. Thigns also rubbing together but not as much since I been exercising & walking. I totally understand you. We can get threw this. We must be strong. All insurance it's so different from one another. It's unfair you need help & it seem like such a long wait. I felt like it was a long wait till now I have 16 days left till surgery.

      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
