Question For Post Opers



Recommended Posts

You know how you can weigh one thing in the morning and then through fluids etc weigh up to 5 pounds later? Do you still fluctuate like that after surgery?

we all have so much in common, I have two special needs step children. I was blessed to be able to raise four healthy sons and now I have the extra blessing of being a step mom and helping these kids be all that they can be.

Pretty cool.

When the weight loss center asked about my support system, and concern about my special needs children, I said oh you don't have to worry about that they will HELP me. And they do. My stepson is 17 and has cerebral palsy and non verbal, but never shuts up, lol, he is like my little nurse when I am sick. My step daughter is 28 and her diagnosis is mild to moderate retardation. She can't read and mixes things up. But she works full time at Kroger and she is a great help. So maybe these kids are raising me.

      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.
