Recommended Posts

today i feel like bawling my eyes out! i feel like crap from having the flu and now a stuffy nose and sore throat. listen to me whine...sorry. all i want to do is eat, and i am suppose to be on my pre-op diet. i cheated. now i want to cry even more. and i am stuck here at work and all i want to do is go home and curl up in bed and cry. and go to the bathroom and puke up what i ate since i am not suppose to. i think i need some extra sleep or something. i feel like i weigh about a zillion pounds right now. i am bloated and just feel ikcy all around, what am i doing? i am so excited to get this done next week. why am i wiggin out now? is anyone else doing this same sort of thing?

Dear Want so bad,

Seems to me your having a case of "nerves", just plain ol' nervous nerves,by all means don't throw up what you've just consumed, forget about it!!! so you ate something not on your pre-op diet, tomarrow is a new day, start fresh tomarrow, but tonight may I sugest a couple of things....1) re-new your mind.. look at before and after pics of lap-band patients, this will renew your excitment, as well as give you something to look foward too, one day you will be posting before and after pics). 2) re examine the reasons your having a lap band, health reasons perhaps, more energy, what ever the reason dont let a temporary siuation(feeling) cloud your enthusiasm for the life changing decision you've decided to make....... I applaude you for stepping up to the plate to take control over your weight, 3) i don't know your religious beliefs, but I strongly encourage you to pray, the bible says a righteous man(woman) falls seven times, but gets back up.... You can do this!!!! and with the support of family, friends, and this site, your bound to succeed. God Bless.

want so bad- I am hearing ya loud and clear! I got home from this first day of the pre-op diet and wanted to lose my mind. I was grouchy, anxious, and thought I was starving. I ate two no bake cookies! Yikes! I stopped myself and took some deep breaths and thought about the reasons I am having this surgery and how wonderful it will be. I was so having a stress moment about the wanting to eat- that I almost had a eating frenzy of not good foods. I stopped at the two Cookies and ate my dinner that is part of the diet. I feel better now. Throughout the day I have had moments where I wanted to give in, but it I just divert my attentions and do something else, once the 15 minutes or so pass, I am fine. Hang in there- we can do it! Don't let your slip up derail your progress. Just start again from this moment on.

I drank a few glasses of Water and that filled my tummy up too and really seemed to help. Try to really keep up the Water intake to fill you up.

      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. 🤞
