FRUSTRATED ON ALL LEVELS!



Recommended Posts

This liquid diet is really a challenge. Perhaps it's head hunger at this point, because my stomach is not growling. I just want food. I have loved Jell-o since a child, but at this point.. and these shakes. Oh boy! This is not good! I'm trying to be strong and positive, counting the days until April 15th. Sigh...

Sounds like you will have a hard time ahead handling this. It is hard for everyone, really. Keep busy. Good luck!

Ugh, I can only imagine how hard this is for you! I have my first appt with the doctor the day of your surgery. Soon you'll look back and it will be a distant memory. Hang in there!

For me, the pre-op diet was the worst part of the entire experience. Keep busy and keep drinking. Surgery day will be here before you know it!

You can do it, yes you can. It's awful, it sucks, it's a pain, but you gotta get through it and we know you can. Come on here and vent. Sending hugs. You will be through it before you know....

May you be blessed with the strength you need to get through it all! The hardest things in life are the most rewarding, and although that doesn't help you in this exact moment, I hope you will feel it when you look back. This part of the journey only lasts 8 more days!

I just love you all so much. This is the one place I know I can not only find people who understand, but people who encourage me. I'll be fine! Sometimes I just get a little frustrated and want to chew. Mind Over Matter!

I agree ....keeping yourself busy helps....I am suffering more from head hunger than actual hunger....there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Stay strong!! You can do it

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
