Let's Talk: Fears?

[crissyboo 63]

My biggest fears are:

-Having a lot of excess skin. I'm already self conscious about my arms and I've been that way since I've put on weight.

-Going through the procedure and failing.

-Not going through the procedure and end up dying from being obese.

-Having one of my family members tell my family I had gastric bypass and them looking at me as if I took the "easy" way out or just passing judgement.

-That I won't be happy with myself even though I've lost weight. I will still find something I don't like about myself (I.e having a lot of excess skin)

-Constipation

-Not being able to eat without puking.

-Forget to take my Vitamins.

- This is not really a big deal, but it kind of is. Losing a lot of hair.

So I'm not so much nervous about getting the surgery at all it's just what's to be expected afterwards I am nervous about. The unknown.

I am so very afraid of failure. I know to follow the plan my bariatric team set out for me, and I'm motivated to do it right now, but what about 2+ years down the line? Will I still be motivated? Will my depression sabotage all of my hard work? (I'm still pre-op, so I have a long way to go). I like to plan for the future to reduce the number of mishaps, there will still be mishaps that are unpredictable off uncontrollable like depression.

This is an issue for me since surgery. I keep thinking of things I need to "fix" (my boobs, my arms, my butt, my chin, etc. etc.). Enough is enough! I have to become happy with me just the way I am.

I am my own worst enemy and I am just hoping that once everything start to move in the right direction as far as weight loss goes. I don't tear myself apart with things I cannot fix right away or period.

Fear...return to eating....

Not liking myself afterwards

Floppy skin that looks like a flying squirrel

Not being able to do enough exercise, 30min a day and I'm dead...

My hubby got the bypass, he's loosing weight by the minute...I'm falling behind...so much for doing it together. He'll be skinny hubby and I'll stay fat wife. So many fears...but I have a counselor. She helps me, one step at a time.
