Stressed out and can't do my norm.



Recommended Posts

Today my daughter's father really upset me. I'm so thankful that I have truly seen who he really is, but I'm hungry and want to pig out and have a drink. I'm 5 weeks post op and I'm sitting in Red Lobster wondering can I have anything in here. Am I just wasting my time?

Stay in touch with me. I'm a year post-op and I still have my moments. It's not an ex-husband but my live in partner of 14 yrs is driving me crazy lately. He gets cranky over anything lately. He refuses to visit a doctor and it's insane. Anyway, I go to Red Lobster every Tuesday for a business lunch.i usually order a salad with dressing on the side or a cup of Soup. I limit myself to one cheddar bay biscuit because they are 150 cal each. I used to eat 4 of them before my surgery. I do have an occasional drink but I limit it to one and nurse it. So hang in there. If you want PM me.

I go to red lobster from time to time...there is nothing on the menu I care for....BUT they always have the fresh catch of the day...and can always order fresh fish such as cod, mahi, etc, cooked to order..baked, grilled....

Once I eat the fish I dot have room for the sides....and usually I can't finish the entire fish...

I'll also order the live lobster now and then also...that they also have to cook fresh, to order.

Not just horrible but chock full of sodium as well. Almost everything in that place is very high in sodium. Stick to fresh grilled fish...with sauce on the side.

And try not to let anyone derail your journey to a healthier weight. I know...easier said than done but I'm behind you and so are lots of other folks on this site.

        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.

      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
