What If I Don't Lose? Stupid Concern?



Recommended Posts

I just went through a whirlwind of getting things all set since the start of May I have done all my appointments, seminar, etc. I am all done now and waiting until surgery on the 27th of June and pre-surgery appt on the 7th of June. I bought a ton of different Protein things to try and now maybe I am just psyching myself out, but scared I won't be able to handle the liquids and not eating. People say that after you won't care about eating, but I am afraid I will really be upset about it. What if I can't overcome the "head hunger" I know I eat because of stress and all, of course I do, what if I just lose it?

I am worried that I won't get enough Water, I drink A LOT of Water now and I hate the heat of summer, i don't tolerate it well, but how will I be without all the water I usually have?

I really want to lose and get on with my life, I know it's a journey, but I am afraid I will mess it up or it won't work for me like it does for other people. I have a lot to lose.

Anyone have anything encouraging to help me out?

Sounds like pre-wedding jitters :-). One step at a time, you're doing great! First, you will lose weight if you want to and work the sleeve. It's a tool but it's still up to you. Accept that you are human, will make mistakes but want to lose this weight. Make sure you are mentally ready. food separation is the most difficult thing we go through. Make sure you have lots of support around you. Water is learning to keep it always with you and sip, sip, sip. I've lost 215 pounds so far and I've really enjoyed this ride. You will too! We are always here to help.

I have that concern too! I don't even have a date yet so I have date envy! Lol I think it's hard not to do the right thing if you have wanted it badly. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

      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!
