I'm in deep doodoo



Recommended Posts

I'm so frustrated with myself because I have gained 10 lbs in 3 weeks! I was in a motorcycle accident and I have broken ribs, a sprained shoulder, bone bruises,and a hemotoma on my lung. Very lucky to have minimal injuries. Problem is that I am craving carbs. I'm still in quite a bit of pain and very stressed. My next appointment with my NUT is in a couple of weeks. Help! Anyone have this issue before? (Hopefully not with a motorcycle)

Try getting run over by a tractor. That's what happened to me about 3 years postop. Broken pelvis and femur, too much bruising to even list. Too much pain to even think about. Not to mention the depression from feeling useless and dependant in others. I was in the hospital for weeks and then a wheelchair and Walker at home for a couple months. I gained 15 pounds eating hospital food but didn't realize it because of all the swelling. As soon as I figured out what was happening, I refused all the carbs the hospital was serving and had my hubby smuggle in custom meals of straight Protein and veggies. I even spent a couple weeks on Protein shakes and finally got rid of the regain. What I ate was one of the few things I felt I had control over during that time.

I see you are preop, so I'm not sure what motivates you, but for me, at 3 years postop and enjoying being a normal size person was what did it for me. There was NO WAY I was going to buy the next size up jeans, so I just did whatever it took to get back down to my normal size. I guess you need to get it straight in your head why you are doing what you are doing and make it happen. don't let a silly little motorcycle accident get in your way ;)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
