Hating My Body Even More?!



Recommended Posts

Now that I'm getting close to surgery (I'm waiting on approval from Aetna) I find that I'm hating my fat body even more than before. I guess being preoccupied with how I'm hoping to feel and look "after" has me wanting even more to escape this gross, jiggly, HEAVY body. I wish I could unzip it and get OUT of it!!!

Anyone else feeling the same?

Instead of hating your current state.....start to praise God for your future state...stay hopful...when I was in my final week I was content, excited, and nervous all at the same time....

You are feeling normal, hang in there and you will unzip the new you soon. In the mean time just relax and think about your new wardrobe. Good luck to you,

Don't feel bad for wanting to unzip and step out of the old body into the new, I am 3 months post op and I'm down 72 lbs, I started my journey at 334 lbs and am now 262 and I still tell my husband at least 5 times a day that I just want to wake up tomorrow and weigh 175 lbs and be done with all of this mess! In case you haven't guessed, I have no patience

I feel the same way! Like the real me-who I used to be- has had enough with being taken over by this food-addicted obese outer person! While I'm practicing positive thinking, I still get "mad" at myself for getting like this and at food for being so irresistable! I can and will resist- the surgery is just the answer to my orators once snd for all! I can't wait!! Hang in there-a year from now we'll be like 10 years younger! Yaaaa!

I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone!!

I'm so ready to make this change and leave this fat, unhealthy body behind. I want to start feeling better and know that I'm getting healthier and healthier! I'm ready to DO this thing and sweat it out and prove to myself that I'm strong and steel-willed and beautiful!!

Not just on this particular issue, but this journey as a whole. The people here, for the most part, are supportive and caring and genuine, and i have a feeling I would lose my mind without this forum!!

I feel EXACTLY the same way... Lately I have been feeling realy down on my body and finding even more flaws all the time... Its funny becuase right before I opened this I got a company wide email about our Annual Softball game asking who was playing and who was being a "cheerleader" I was litterally texting my husband saying how at next years game (in OCtober) I hopefully (fingers crossed) I won't be too embarassed to play!

Lately everytime I look at myself I am just disgusted!

      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!!
