I am OVER it today.



Recommended Posts

Today isn't a good day.. I'm OVER wondering if I'll feel sick after any new food I'm about to try. I am OVER forcing myself to drink Water when I'm not thirsty, I am OVER the fact my 1lb chihuahua eats more food than me.

Had to vent, the hubby just had a McDonald's and I looked at it with tears in my eyes, I miss you buddy.

What are you OVER today?

I'm over my hips hurting when I sleep and even walk. I'm over having difficulty breathing because I'm too fat! I'm over hating the way I look in clothes. I'm over not going places and seeing friends because I'm too ashamed of how I look. I'm over not being able to do the physical activities I want to do because I'm too heavy. I'm over about being worried about my future because of my health.

I am over wondering if my husband will die if he gained the weight back because his blood sugar would crash to 40 again. But I know this won't happen because he has lost 100 lbs and he is diligent about his diet. You could not force any fast food junk down his throat. I am over worrying again that he and I both will gain weight back and be sludges on the sofa, taking 20 medications again. Because we will never eat fast food.

I'm over back and hip pain, and being super skilled at hiding that I'm out of breath after 2 flights of stairs. That shouldn't be a skill anyone is proficient at, unless you're a ninja trying to protect your cover. <_<

I could have written that word for word....!

I am OVER the chronic constipation...my only real complaint about the process.

that's a worry - no fibre - that's part of the reason I question the lack of vegs and fruits in the early days

For the Constipation (I didn't even think about that), is it recommended that you take a stool softener?

I'm over the heartburn whenever I drink or eat anything...no regrets, I'm just over that part! Love the "looking and feeling great" part though

I take two stool softeners a day. and Milk of Magnesia once a week. which has worked out ok up until this week, doesn't seem to be working anymore. (I'm 9 weeks out today).

Is heartburn a 'for sure' thing or just for some people?

I have heard others experience it too, but my surgeon said it MAY go away eventually as my body heals (10 wks post-op)...time will tell

@@Armygalbonnie ME TOO! It's like I could have written that.

I'm over waking up in the morning and feeling ALL THE GRAVITY pull me down as my fat settles into place. I'm over the pain in my feet that I feel with every step. I'm over looking at myself in store windows as I walk by and think "frick, did I really get that big?"

I'm over my mother telling me I'm going to die of a stroke because I'm overweight. I'm over feeling ashamed for being fat and I'm over being ashamed for not being more body positive. I'm over feeling hungry all the time as I lose weight in this stage. I'm over people saying "you aren't even that big" when I talk about surgery. I'm over self-esteem, ugly clothes, and poorly constructed shoes.

Mostly, I'm over my son pointing out every diet/weightloss commercial and saying "you should do that, mommy." I love this kid but he sure can be brutally honest for a 10 year old. Gah.

So over it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
