Ohhhh...that's why I feel like crap!



Recommended Posts

So I got all busy this morning and got out of my routine. I left the house without taking my daily meds.:mellow: Considering that 6 of the 9 pills I take everyday are for blood pressure, it's no wonder that I nearly puffed myself to death walking to my car at the end of the workday.

You just wait until the 28th! My band and I are going to kick ass and be able to chuck those damned pills by Valentine's Day. That's my revenge. So there! :)

I took those suckers as soon as I got home 'cause I felt so badly. Well, ok, I didn't take the diuretic since I didn't want to be running the potty relay.

When my blood pressure gets all hinky like that, it makes me soooooo tired. I hit the sheets by 9.

My doc said that I'd only need to break one of my pills in half. Reading one of the other threads I see that folks generally have no trouble swallowing most reasonably sized pills and just cut the huge ones into halves or quarters. I'll be right alongside your dad with the yummy "medication meal"...but me and my band are gonna take care of that...

      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. 🤞
