Self sabotage



Recommended Posts

Ok Tomorrow is the day. Two weeks on liquids. What's the worst that could happen, is what I keep asking myself.

I have never followed the program completely and I'm admitting it to help myself and others. Not only have I not followed this program completely I've never followed anything by the rules. I am also going to start seeing a psychologist because I self sabotage everything.

I have never admitted this either. But I have had so many things happen lately that have back fired that it's time to change. No excuses. I'm going to keep a journal and track everything.

If anyone has had any success with starting over let me know. Thank you.

First I want to say good luck with your surgery today! I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I also want to say that you are brave for both recognizing and admitting that you struggle to follow the plan. This surgery will definately test you and it is a very good idea that you see someone to help you stay on track.

The toughest part of life after WLS is the head games. I have a lot of will power, seriously my husband is always reminding me of my stubbornness. When I set my mind to something I get it done.

There are times during the last 2 years that have tested my resolve and most of the time I win. There are times however that I stumble and when I do I am very hard on myself because of it.

My advice would be to seek that advice, you are worth it! Having WLS really is all about changing your life for the better, the surgery just helps you to do that by limiting the quantity of food.

you still have to drive. You have to eat a well balanced, high Protein diet. You still control how often you eat. Many fail because they think the surgery will automatically cause you to lose weight and it will for a very short while. Believe me, that window is really short so leverage that time to change your habits.

Continue to hold yourself accountable as you did here. If you do that, you will be successful.

YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Good luck today!

      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.

        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!
