Your hormones are in an uproar. You'll be like that for 4 weeks. Or at least I was. Sorry! you can do it!

I'm still hormonal and I am 7 weeks out today. Right now I am crying over birthday cake I cannot have. I think a lot of this is realization I REALLY can't have these things anymore without getting sick. And I am finally making good decisions for my health.

That sounds terrible but good at the same time. Im sorry about the cake thing. This slowly crept up on me. The day after surgery i was crying in the hospital for nothing and also when i got home. Yesterday my mother made me awesome cuban food and i couldnt even have one bite... Im not a sweets fan so i should be good on that side. Hope you get better soon.

I'm 5 weeks today and very off kilter emotionally...I cry at the drop of a hate...I'm obsessing about things I have no control over.....so not myself yet! But I'll get there :) someday!

Hey guys. It's best to just get some of that emotion out of your system. I went though this for 2 months and it got pretty bad. It's a bad mixture of hormones, food separation, and pain. I promise it will get better, but right now you have to go thought these growing pains.

I have the added joy of a relationship ending,my perfect 8 year old son starting to get in trouble at school for the first time ever, and,most importantly, my mom is on a kidney transplant list (has been for almost 2 years), a week and a half ago she got called to the hospital for work-up, there was a donor on life-support and she was #1 to receive the kidney.....about 8 hours later the called and she wasn't a close enough match to the donor so she was being sent home.....this one really hit me hard :/. I know everything happens for a purpose....mom is doing great, so great that she's not on dialysis yet, the start when her levels hit 10 and she's stayed steady at 11-12 for 2 years solid....it's amazing considering how quickly she was decreasing beforehand. I think we have the kid issue worked out but that was totally draining. And the relationship is what it is, he is an amazing man and I'm blessed to have he and his son in our lives, they are great friends, I just have to one to terms with the fact that that is all we will ever be....

Add the surgery stress, fatigue, overall not feeling well, crazy hormones and what is apparently becoming a weekly crisis in my life, I am fried!!!!

And tank you, we're all pretty much rock stars when you look at how we do this and all we do!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
