HELP! I'M SUPER NERVOUS



Recommended Posts

Thank you. I just can't help myself and I've been feeling really down about it. If so petrified that this surgery won't work out for me. What then? I've been trying to hold it together but honestly I don't know how to take it. Sorry for being such a downer

You are causing yourself undue stress which won't help your body heal and lose. I know you know the surgery isn't magical. Losing the weight is a partnership between us and the surgery. If we do our part, the surgery will help us as the tool it is meant to be. Relax, follow your doctor's plan and focus on this journey.

I am 8 weeks out and on my second stall which has now been 10 days. Do I want to get frustrated? Yes. Do i wish the stall was over? Yes. Do I truly believe that I won't lose weight ingesting as little food as I do? No. Our bodies are very fine tuned machines and are going to do what is best for them. We can only support that by doing the best we can and more.

We are all in this boat together. Don't stress yourself out. It won't help you.

I was just sleeved August 9th I'm almost 2 week post op the first week I lost 11 pds now I've slowly lost 2 pds but I believe it's completely normal to hit a platau. Keep your mind focused on the outcome! Your body is healing and also adjusting.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
