Feeling Down, Need Encouragement Please



Recommended Posts

I went off the deep end and now I'm trying to pull myself back up out of the pool (of junk food)!

I'm almost 3 months post-op and have been doing very well with my food choices and exercise. But last week I went in for my 2nd fill and ended up leaving with -.4cc.

2nd Fill details: coffee and a bowl of oatmeal hoping to get back on track today.

Anyone who has had trouble with their fills, please reassure me that I will eventually get restriction. :tongue:

Well why did they unfill? My Dr told me he does not take any out. I told him a story about someone going on a cruise that had their cc's all taken out so she could eat and never got them put back in, he shook his head no and said "I don't take it out once it's in". You know we all go thru this. I have not had my first fill yet and those chips were in front of my face. So instead of eating the whole back I just took a few to get the taste, then I stopped. The other option is to just not buy the junk food, How much money can you save? Want that new car? or House downpaymant? So when you go to the store total up what you would have spent on junk food and take that money and put it away, you will have enough to do whatever you want! Now it's time to drink alot of Water and get moving.walk the dog or just plug in your IPOD and go for a long walk, that 3 pounds will come back off.

I haven't had trouble w/ my fills but it did take 4 fills, which put me almost 6 months post-op to feel restriction. I kept beating myself up for not losing much at all - and I was embarrassed. However, I'm going forward now and it took me longer than most to get to this point, but you'll get there :-)

        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
