Making Myself Sick/crazy



Recommended Posts

I'm first to admit I have very little patience but since my paperwork was submitted to the insurance company I've gone off the wall! I have chest tightening/pain. I'm smoking like a chimney (even I noticed this), I'm not hungry much but still getting heartburn & indigestion(not normal for me). Is this all anxiety???? I want to scream!!!! I did pass my cardio testing 100% so I know chest pain is not a heart attack but you sure could fool me.

I'm all alone in this even though I live with my son & daughter in law, they have their life & I stay pretty much in my room (its large & comfy so its not a problem) but I feel so alone, no one to talk to about this.

Insurance can take 2 weeks or more to decide, I'll be a basket case by then!!!

Has anyone gone thru this?

I know what you're going through. I am in the exact same boat as you. This waiting game sucks and in my head I keep going over all the things that could go wrong (rejection letter). I am irritated, emotional over everything and can't sleep at night.

I think your feelings are normal. All you can do is try to distract yourself in the meantime. Go shopping, listen to music, exercise, etc.

I think you have a lot time before you will have your surgery date so nothing to worry about yet. It took my 2 years to get this here. my date is one week from today talk about fear.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
