Emotional Babble



Recommended Posts

Hello to all - Okay here is my babble for the day. I was banded in February and to date have lost 46 lbs. However, from July to now, it has been a real struggle finding the right fill. I have gone from some how losing all my fill to being too tight and just about vomiting a lung. I am very pleased with the way that I am beginning to look and the way my clothes are fitting. However, I know that I am still far from my goal. Of course the upcoming holidays raise the only ugly fears - should I loosen the fill, should I maintain the fill and just have to be very very careful????? Oh, the debate with my mind!!!! I am currently at a 1.8 cc and unless I stay on Soups and very soft food, nothing stays down and I really don't lose weight. If I try solids (meat, chicken not pureed), up it comes!!! So I am thinking I am a little tight. But I want to keep the weight loss going. Today I was so stressed, that I ate an entire bag of chips (not the small kind either) and a bag of M&M's (the small bag). I guess my question comes down to, I'm sure that there are many people who have gone through this and struggled with these same questions. Any advice, kind words, kicks in my butt to get my over this?

Best,

Debbie

Well, you kind of said it yourself. You want to keep the weight loss going, but you ate a bag of chips. You're better off getting an unfill and eating solid meat n' stuff.

      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. 🤞
