Mind games but I'm ready!



Recommended Posts

I know this is a mind game. Surgery tomorrow. 5/18/2015

I feel like I'm "failing myself" by having surgery. I also feel this way every time I lose 5 pounds and gain 10.

I'm excited, I'm ready to move on, one more "try to do it myself" isn't going to make a difference it will just push back surgery. I know that in my heart. Never has why now?

Did anyone else feel this way the day before surgery?

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. Give your self time to adjust and get back to your normal routine will take some getting use to especially if everything was focused around food. I decided to get my sleeve buy I had been on weight watchers for 3 yrs and would lose and gain the same 50 lbs. I was sleeved 4/15/15. And down 23 lbs. so I know it's a journey but at least it's a starting point.

I'm going through the same feelings. I'm scheduled for gastric sleeve on Wednesday the 20th. I keep reading other people's posts about their progress and that helps to remind me why I'm doing this. I know everything will go well for both of us!

Omg this is exactly what I am experiencing, trying to justify the surgery, like I lack willpower, desire, intelligence to lose weight. Actually I was feeling just like a failure. Couldn't "hack it" like somehow surgery is the easy way out. Well I have never worked so hard for something.

Don't give up if I do this, so can you

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
