OMG! What am I thinking!



Recommended Posts

I am setting here in Tijuana Mexico scared to death. What is wrong with me that I can't lose weight on my own?

This seems just crazy!

I cannot believe it has come to the point of me flying (my biggest fear in life) to another country and letting them cut my stomach out (needles are my 2nd fear).

Why can I not just do this on my own?

This is honestly the scariest thing I have ever done.

On the other hand everything has gone great so far. Our plane was early, our driver was there waiting, he pointed out sites in San Diego snd Tijuana, and the hotel is great.

The only thing I would change is I wish I had taken a later flight. I landed at 10am, got to the hotel around 11, but check in time wasn't until 3. They were able to get us in a room a little after 1 though.

Of course the worst part was the only thing to do during that time was to go to the restaurant. My daughter enjoyed it while I starved and 2nd guessed myself.

Anyways, does this feeling of wanting to run home go away?

Stay Calm. You've done your homework, the waiting is the worst part. I arrived the same day as my surgery but was the one one they did that day. I waited between the waiting room and my room for the night for 6 hours. It was so nerve racking, so I'm right there with you. Dont sweat the small stuff right. We chose this path because we have a food addiction. You'll do great. What time is your surgery tomorrow?

I'm 8 days post op and including the pre-diet I'm down 18 lbs.

My husband and I had a deal that if we got the hospital and met the doctor and anything didn't seem right, we were out of there.

Your going to do great. Sending you calming thoughts.

You being scared to death is something that happens to just about everyone who makes this life changing decision. you are on your way and things are going as you planned them....

think of why you are getting the surgery and what your goals are...Think of everything you have went through to get here.....

Is it all worth it.....You would not have gone this far if you were not sure!

Stay calm and let the fear ride through you.....It will pass once you are on your way....

All the best..See you on the losing side..... :)

Warning this is a "coach style" pep talk!

I need you to get in there and suck-it-up! You didn't come this far to turn around! Now give that sleeve HELL! (slap on the butt).

God bless you and you will be great.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
