Feeling overwhelmed.

[jens1 8]

I am just starting out my journey through weight loss surgery. I attended the seminar last thursday. Suddenly I am really overwhelmed by the whole situation. Its not really about the money or anything like that. I am worried about the 6 month diet I have to go on. I know I am ready to commit to this. I am worried about going to the first appointment cause I don't know what they are going to do me. I am very nervous around doctors I don't know very well. Is normal to feel this overwhelmed about the whole situation?

I'm also just starting my journey and am worried about the 6 month diet. I think it is normal to feel overwhelmed about it. It's a huge change to be making in our lives

Both surgeons where I am going are very nice. I have also worked with them both. I am a respiratory therapist, I have cared for their patients before. We met most of the staff at the seminar, they seem friendly.

I wish mine was nice. But I promised myself I would not let him make me cry any more. I am not letting him get away with his mess again. He did a good job and that's all I need but he is not talking to me like I am a dirt again. That's part of my whole recovery and healing

WOW IM SORRY TO HEAR THAT

When any one talks down to U regardless of who they are

There are two ways to deal with this type of person

1.Respond in such a sweet & humble manner

This will totally show up the behavior

2.Respond with Im sorry I'm having difficulty in understanding your meanness ?

Name the behavior eg meanness rudeness tactless hurtful comments

Face the Bully No Matter what & what's really important There r plenty of people out there who are Plain straight out NOT NICE

Or take someone along with U as a support person if they still behave badly at least someone else can witness the Behavior & U can both leave together & Go OMG or what the heck...!!!

What matters your on the road to a healthy U

Always Be the Best U & Be the Better Person

Keep Taking Good Care of U :-)

Wishing u all the best with your WLS Journey
