I fessed up to my bad behavior!



Recommended Posts

went in for my third fill today and I ratted myself out. Then she proceeded to chew me out. Its way to early for me to be going off the deel end and im gonna gain all the weight back that I lost. Omg, I should of kept my mouth shut and just had them beleive it was a platuea. I only gained like .75 lbs in the last two weeks. I didnt go totally if the deep end.

I know I what I have been doing and I know what I need to do to fix it. Sha just had to ram it down my throat for good measure :)

I'm sorry that she reemed you out. You need to remember that she had probably heard some really outrageous stories and is more of a tough love kind of person. I've read stories on this board where people are eating a whole big mac or a nuggets and fries

two days after surgery. If you did'nt say what you ate she is probably thinking the worst.

I think you were brave to fess up, that shows a lot of courage, and to me it shows that you care, and that you want the best answer possible for yourself. I admire that you did that. Sorry you got reemed out about it though... best of luck in the future!

I've told on myself and my doctor just talks to me and steers me back in the right direction. He knows we all do it and this is a life changing experience and we are going to make mistakes and he wants all his patients to do good and scolding them isn't going to help. We learn from our mistakes and try not to do them again!

Hm. I think I would be pretty upset if someone in my doctor's practice felt he or she had the right to scold me. If I go in having had problems, I want support, not fussing. I'm not a child; I don't need to be reprimanded--but I DO need to be able to discuss any difficulties with my healthcare providers without fear of repercussions.

Was the woman who did this your surgeon? A nurse? How did it make you feel? Is it something you want to discuss with the person who did it? From those of us on the list, do you want sympathy or would you like suggestions for how to deal with it in the future?

I'm asking all of these questions because if you're just venting, I know it could be irritating to get advice on how to "fix" the issue. On the other hand, if you want potential responses to her behavior, I know it could be irritating to get nothing but sympathy! :rolleyes: If you want sympathy, you definitely have it--that's a crappy thing to have to endure!!!! If you also want advice, let us know! We're here to support you!

I was already going in there knowing I was not doing what I was suppose to be doing, so I really didnt need to hear more of it. I know she was just trying to help me get on track, but I did feel about 5years old and getting scolded for eating my desert before my dinner :)

She is the main nurse that does the fills, but it would be no good to tell on her because I know the surgeon and he would do the same thing to me. Tough love type thing!

thanks for listening :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
