I had the surgery 10 days ago my family kept trying to talk me out of it and telling me all the horror stories I don't have no regrets the first week is the hardest but i did it for me don't worry about what anybody else tell you do it for you it's not their life it will be ok

Thanks. I am not doubting my decision at all. I have mostly positive & supportive people surrounding me, but I can't pick my co-workers! I haven't even told certain people, like my dad or my in-laws, because I have no clue how they'll react and if it's negative, I really don't want to deal with it. I will let them know once.surgery is scheduled, but until then, I feel like there's no point. I am most nervous about deciding when to tell my dad. I don't want to pull a last minute shocker, but I don't want weeks of crap from him either!

HELP! I am getting negative responses from several people who know I'm surgery bound. One of my co-workers has been pulling all of her tricks out of the bag' date=' almost trying to scare me out of moving forward. She keeps telling me that I am mutilating God's design, I will never be or look healthy again, I will never be able to eat more than two bites of anything, I'm going to have diarrhea for the rest of my life, I'll likely gain back all the weight, & so on. She frustrates me beyond belief & of course, is someone who has NEVER struggled a day in her life with her weight! I wish I hadn't mentioned it. I get so caught up in her shocking statements that I can't even focus at work. What are you all doing to cope with the negative ninnies in your life?[/quote']

Listen my best advice is to just plainly tell her to keep her negative two cents to her self cus there are not wanted I hate bitches that think they can fit every body's shoes she is what I call a hater because she know that you will look better then her that's all just think positive and remember why you chose this path in the first place you live for you not her some people a tell all I had a couple of those and I send them right to hell

Lol. I do need to keep my job! I already told her nicely last week that this topic is off limits at work, but she has kept it up this week, so it looks like it's time to get my boss involved. We have such a small & close knit staff that we usually talk about everything in our personal lives, but this has just gone too far.

I'm sorry to hear that. Is he supportive now? I don't think I could do this without my husband's support!

I got the call yesterday that I need to be at the hospital at 830 Wednesday morning I can't believe it's this close having some issues with anxiety right now I haven't told many people I'm doing this bcz I didn't want the negative feedback and now I am feeling guilty .. Ugh

That's what I'm worried about. To tell, or not to tell, that is the question.

Yes I know lol I really agree its time to kick up a notch speak to your boss and give him or her the heads up on that its just that some people just don't get it when you tell them to stop

Omg!! I've been hearing negative things too. No horror stories just comments like "I'm not sure I'm ok with you doing this" from a friend that I have known for along time. I just said tough I'm doing it.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
