Hardest Thing About This ?



Recommended Posts

The hardest thing is this underlying feeling of uneasiness. I think it's from not processing feelings. I used to eat when I was upset. Now I don't. So I need to find something else to help me cope. Working out helps. Talking helps. I think it's time to start that counseling they talked about in class. 9 weeks out and -50 pounds.

I think this is my biggest problem and you just brought it to the surface for me. I have been feeling very anxious and I can't figure out why. Now it all makes sense!! Thank you!!!

Finding what to eat. If I happen to be on the go I'm not thinking straight so I think carefully if I go in this restaurant will the food be greasy & I'm gonna vomit. Will I look like a fool ordering food to have less then half then have to take it home.

My hardest problem post op is not dumping! It sounds positive but it's not! I know in my head I shouldn't eat certain things (and I don't give in) but I also know I could eat it without getting sick. Know what I mean? It's mind over matter!

For me the worst is behind me. The pre op liquid diet was the worst. I have really had any problems. I lost 82lbs. Mind over matter. I love working out now, I love the look on people's faces when they see me

I'm having surgery on the 26th and i'm missing not drinking so much so fast. I'm doing it now so I can be use to it. I know there's no drinking and eating but sometimes I forget. I never knew how much and how fast I really drank until i've learned to limit myself.

      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.

      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.
