Second time around



Recommended Posts

Hi all, this is my 2nd time here. I had my sleeve i think in august 2014. I have put it all back on due to stress and my daughter developed an eating disorder. I had to eat what she was eating,so she would eat it. Not to mention the amount of alcohol it took to numb me from the pain, watching my daughter slowly disappear in front of me. I remember when i was on here last, seeing people put back on the weight they had lost. I wonder how the hell could that happen. Well i’m now one of those people.

Started Weight Watchers, cheaper then going back to a dietitian. My husband is away for a few months so i’m Going to get myself into a routine before he gets back. Can’t wait to get back to a healthy weight.

Get some counseling for yourself. I am confused about using your daughter's illness as a reason for you to overeat yourself, that does not sound as if a physician would give that treatment advice. More information please.

I had to eat what is had to eat otherwise she wouldn’t eat it. Everything was very high calories, like potato made with cream. She was like “if your not eating it, then I’m not” i don’t expect you to understand but that was my story. It wasn’t the only reason. The wine after she went to bed didn’t help either. No exercise because i had to watch her. She wasn’t allowed to walk around. Just moving around the house was putting pressure on her heart. The stress of this and moving just was a recipe for me putting weight back on. But I focused on getting back on track. I know i can lose it because i have done it before, i can do again.

I'm so sorry to hear about your daughters health issues. I can totally relate. I have not had surgery yet but I was approved last year and scheduled to be sleeved augs 15 2016 and I didn't go thru with it. My daughter started having seizures at 9 months I went through about 6 months of test you to find out that she had a condition call Chiari and what it is is the brain was too big for her skull and it was causing too much pressure or not allowing spinal Fluid to flow through properly. She ended up having surgery 4 times from the beginning of August to the end of September finally after a year of being okay I decided to contact the doctor pick up where I left off I was scheduled to have surgery at the end of December but the doctors assistant did not know he would be out of the office so my surgery date was moved to January 2018. But during that time while I was in the hospital with her I gained weight when I went to see my surgery he mentioned that I gained 15 pounds in the last year I was so depressed I had a lot to do with my daughter being sick I turn to food for Comfort it was the wrong thing to do I was so depressed but now that she's better I finally see light at the end of the tunnel to start taking care of my own health thank God. Hang in there I know it's tough hopefully you can find a program that works for you and get back on track and start to lose some weight.

        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
