It's all a scam.....



Recommended Posts

My buddy came over the other day and the first thing he said is "Hmmmm, you look the same. After taking eight months of prep and all the hospital stuff, I figured you'd look all sickly and in agony" Ya know, that's my feelings too. I think it's all a scam. the so-called "hole-scars" are burn marks. The shakes are meds to make us feel full and gassy. Our spouses are in on it too. They put drops of that stuff to make you puke in all the food over 3 bites. They cater to you so you'll feel needy & whinny. It's just a sham. There was no surgery. Yea......that's the ticket.....you can't fool me.

Then again......maybe not. ;)

You may be on to something, Recycled!

I may be part of some covert government study and my group was the placebo group!

I never would have thought my mind was that powerful! :o

Hahaha :lol: This made me laugh out loud at my desk. Newsflash to your friend - WLS is *supposed* to make you healthier looking, not sicklier, so clearly you're doing something right!

My ability (or lack thereof) to consume plain roasted chicken breast tells me otherwise....

Unless, of course, there's a global conspiracy to bring down the chicken market!

I am 7 weeks post-op and I remember feeling the same in the beginning, that they really hadn't done anything except made me believe I have to eat differently. Now I am on real food and I dread eating every day. I still WANT though not crave the bad stuff but eating is a chore.

Still your post was really funny!! :D

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
