Feeling sorry for my self...pity party



Recommended Posts

So in June I start the process I weighed 565 over the last 6 months I've gotten down to 490. Did a 4 week liquid diet, surgery was yesterday, they got in there and could not complete surgery. Feel like giving up. I want this but don't know if I can do it anymore.

Don't give up! You have already done great - over 70 lbs - wow! I can appreciate you are disappointed that they couldn't do the surgery. Did they say why? Are they going to try again?

Poor you! I lived in fear of this (I think we all do!) Thinking of you and hoping for a better outcome next time. But seriously, you've done so well thus far...

they could not get my abdomen extended enough to see the stomach, and with my weight it was to dangerous to open.

You have done so well on your weight loss so far..do they think of you lose a bit more they can try it again?

I understand the disappointment.. I know what's it like to work hard at something only to have a roadblock thrown in your way.

There are many days when I feel like I'm swimming against the current. And well, it gets tiring....

Take your day and feel sad, you have good reason.

But don't give up! Like I said, you have done so well getting that weight off, keep doing what you are doing diet and exercise wise. Be strong, fight the feeling of defeat and let them try (and succeed I'm sure) again.

You have every reason to feel disappointed. But, you have done so AMAZINGLY well on your own leading up to this.

As much as it hurts; head down, grit your teeth and attack this monster.

You can do it.

Slay this dragon and you'll soon be in for round two and this time, it will happen for you.

My thoughts are with you x

      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
