Surgery tomorrow and I need to vent



Recommended Posts

I'm having surgery in the am. I asked my mom to help me a few weeks ago. On Friday she decides to tell me she can't,no reason she just can't. So I find other means for my roses and for my dogs. Tonight one of my friends watching my dogs, after only having my 18wk old puppy for 2hrs, messagese bitching about how often the dog goes to the bathroom. So now I have to find someone to watch my dog between now and 8am tomorrow morning because the same friend wants to drop me off 2hrs early in case of traffic. FML

Damn, that's terrible. I can't stand people like that. I hope you can find someone reliable to help you out. Maybe a neighbor? Keep us posted, please. And good luck tomorrow!

Good things are happening!!!! Sometimes when I feel like this (although it's VERY hard to do) I just laugh and tell the devil he's not stealing my victory over food, my joy in life, the love that I have, or my surgery blessing that I KNOW God had a hand in. You are ready to do a GREAT thing for yourself and it seems like someone's trying to interfere with that (he don't want you happy of course) and wants to deter you from a good thing and make you throw in the towel for tomorrow. No matter what you do, mad as you are, tell him out loud that his interference will not work with you ...ever! Just my own personal opinion of course. He loves us being confused and mad about things. Best of luck tomorrow and please keep us posted. We all really do care.

That's terrible! If you were in southern CA, I would babysit your puppy in a heartbeat. I LOVE dogs. Hang in there. And maybe start looking for nicer friends when you're feeling better! Your mom I have no suggestions for other than to inform her she won't come close to qualifying for mom of the year 2016.

        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!

      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
