January Dates



Recommended Posts

I'm taking off 2 weeks.. I'm a cosmetologist so my job is not that bad.. Yes I'm on my feet all day but I can take breaks or leave whenever because I'm my own boss kinda lucky I have that advantage.

New question...How much time are you taking off work??

Taking two weeks off. I sit on my butt all day, but I'm a social worker so stress is high. I wanted the relaxation!

Damn this pre-op liquid diet is difficult! I literally feel like I'm starving myself! Anyone else? Today is day 3.

Days 2-3 were the worst. I'm on day 8 now, and it's definitely gotten easier. Still have some times where I'm really hungry, but (most of) the cravings have gone away. It helps that I've lost 7 pounds in the past week!

I almost fell off the sofa laughing when I read this. I felt the same way, started before Christmas. Then the weight started coming off about a pound a day. Anxiety is normal especially when you look at all the risks and long term consequences under a microscope. I deal with it by simply thinking I am making the best decision for my situation with the tools available.

      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.
