Think we're all getting the same question. People are a holes

When we were in the pre op room. My ex (she stayed at the hospital to care for me) said to me, "you could have tried harder, there are a lot more people that need this surgery more than you. You know you you could have done it yourself hit instead your taking the easy way out" I immediately asked her to leave. She the. Apologized and explained she would support me but she would never have made this decision for me. Look at all I had to risk and I was still willing to get it done. I refused to speak to her until I was out of surgery. I haven't brought up the topic since then. It just goes to show who really is there for you and those that aren't. Kristi, sounds like out real friends are about to show themselves.

I'm afraid so. And I really didn't want that to happen. I explained to him why I did this and how much work it will be. He said "But now you have to make a commitment to diet and exercise anyway." Correct. I do. Before it was a choice. Now it isn't. It's do or die literally.

I loved 'oh you're not big enough to need surgery!!!!' At my highest I was 312 lbs and I'm 5'6. Heck yes I was big enough!!! Crazy people!

HW 312' date=' pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 212[/quote']

That's what I heard, "you are not that big" I also hear you can't lose that much....

One of my friends asked why I didn't just do diet and exercise instead of have the surgery.

I. Hate. People.

It's crazy & I will be honest I used to have that same thinking but after extreme dieting, up & down in the scale & so forth...you get to a point where you kind of feel lost...at least for me & that's when I got it...my low was being turned away on an amusement park ride! I still grapple with it because in my mind I feel like I should be able to conquer this on my own...but then I think that the fact that I am recognizing that I can't & accept the help & tools...that's courageous! I said all this to say @kristlynngirl to hang in there & I totally get it now!!!

Ugh even tho I haven't had anything but Water for 3 hours I suddenly feel stuck. What's going on? I ate a scrambled egg around lunch time. I took tiny tiny bites and ate it with a shrimp fork. But would it suddenly make me feel stuck 3 hours later?

      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.
