I am afraid i will back out



Recommended Posts

I have surgery on Monday. I want this so bad. But I'm so nerveous that I am afraid I will talk myself out of it.

This is perfectly normal. Every possible thought ran through my head. If you don't do anything else you owe it to yourself to become healthier and this is one step on your journey. I'm only just about weeks post and this is the best

decision I could have made. I deserved to be happy and healthier. You deserve to be happy and healthy.

Take a moment and a few deep breathes, count to 10 and with each number you count say one reason why you want this after you get to 10 visualize the happiest moment in your life then you should know if you really want to have the surgery only you can make this decision. Many blessing with whatever you decide is best for you.

Sitting here at lunch having to squeeze in my booth. With my gut over lapping on table. And it reminds of the way I don't want to be anymore.

The surgery itself is nerve racking but also the changes that go along with it. Your battle against weight will soon be over. You life is about to change. Even though it's a positive change, it's still scary. Imagine yourself healthy, not being held back by your weight, the confidence you will have, the liberation!

Now imagine yourself backing out. Still fighting this weight battle, being depressed, held back.

You got this! The beginning is the hardest part and in a few months you will feel amazing! Good luck and keep us posted.

I'm 2weeks out and it's normal to be scared and the truth is when you first days after the surgery it's not gone feel worth it ..it's tough but if you have your mind set on the goal you be fine I cried twice after the surgery once in the hospital and once four days out haven't cried since head hunger is a b!... But I decided that my family should hide eating from me I neede to deal with it .. I'm down 26 pounds I feel good about it

I was scared too. Walking into the hospital the day of my surgery I nearly turned around and left. I just kept telling myself "I'm scared to do this BUT I'm scared NOT to do this, I need this"

Everything turned out great and I am off to a fairly good start.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
