Afraid I am not going to make it



Recommended Posts

So I am self-pay and I am afraid I am not going to make it to September/October. I am supposed to be on a doctor monitor diet because of my high triglyceride levels and my cholesterol being up a little. I have a lot of weight to lose..But still...I feel like I am never going to get to surgery for one reason or another: either my passport won't arrive on time or I won't end up having enough money or I will die of sudden death one day before I even have a chance to live a new life in a healthy body. I am so sick of dealing with all these health issues. I am sick of being morbidly obese and having Fibromyalgia and being too exhausted...oh and the sweating..dont get me started on that... It is no fun being hot and sweaty all day every day...

Why does waiting have to be so hard and take so long and seem so impossible...? (Sigh)

Is it time to sit back and learn a little bit of patience? It's frustrating as all hell not knowing when the surgery will be but you will...You have come this far so now it's time to practice living today and learning new habits of eating slowly, drinking tiny sips, walking and exercising as much as you can. After the surgery your health issues will get much better and easier to handle and you most likely won't have the sweating all day problem. That would be a hughe relief..You really don't know what your future holds for you at this moment, but as long as your worried about the future, you are losing these precious moments today. This is the time to start learning about you and the triggers you have to foods. Look at you food addiction and start to make some positive changes today. A little bit at a time. :P

I too am tired of waiting. It's been six months for me and hope to be sleeved next month. I also have the fear it somehow wont work out. I'm not yet approved by the insurance. I'm tired of the exhaustion, the sweating, the general misery with my appearance, etc. Let's just do this already!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
