I know we have stalls but I think I'm broken...or just impatient...IDK!



Recommended Posts

Ok, I'm not being irrational...I'm worried. I was one of the dummies for lack of a better term that tried to eat a chicken nugget when I had no other food to eat and that was at 2 weeks out. I was also the one that would try to force Protein so that I don't get sick from the lack of and so that I wouldn't loose my hair so easily.

I am also the one that got a hernia repair and sleeve at the same time, then had a horrible coughing spell 2 nights in a row that put me in major pain. I'm the one that thought I could just get my fill of protein with food and blah to the shakes....smh, boy was I wrong!!!

I was also the one that had a JP Drain for 2 weeks when it should have been removed in 1 week. The drainage colors changed from the normal blood and straw yellow color to a green then brown color in the 2nd week.

Basically, I did many things wrong, I don't need you to tell me that. I've told my doctor almost everything but I want to call and ask for him to look at the sleeve and make sure I haven't blocked it or ruptured it because I feel heavy all over again. Like I really messed something up...

Also, when I told him what i was drinking since the Water wasn't easy to go in....he said STOP THAT, those drinks have too much sugar. I wonder if it's sticking to me already. I've stopped as instructed.

Anyone know how sensitive the sleeve is? It's even sensitive to the touch. Is it a normal stall and I'm just being overly worried?

I'm 1 month out, please help if you can either relate or if you're more than 2 months out.

Thanks

A month out? Give it time. What have you lost from surgery to now?

When I was two weeks out I hit a three week stall!

It will happen

I'm hoping it is just a stall, I can handle that...I was really messing up but I'm being good now. I Learned my lesson quick, this is not a game!! I learn more every day, Im learning to respect the sleeve! Lol

      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.
