Mind games but I'm ready!



Recommended Posts

I know this is a mind game. Surgery tomorrow. 5/18/2015

I feel like I'm "failing myself" by having surgery. I also feel this way every time I lose 5 pounds and gain 10.

I'm excited, I'm ready to move on, one more "try to do it myself" isn't going to make a difference it will just push back surgery. I know that in my heart. Never has why now?

Did anyone else feel this way the day before surgery?

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. Give your self time to adjust and get back to your normal routine will take some getting use to especially if everything was focused around food. I decided to get my sleeve buy I had been on weight watchers for 3 yrs and would lose and gain the same 50 lbs. I was sleeved 4/15/15. And down 23 lbs. so I know it's a journey but at least it's a starting point.

I'm going through the same feelings. I'm scheduled for gastric sleeve on Wednesday the 20th. I keep reading other people's posts about their progress and that helps to remind me why I'm doing this. I know everything will go well for both of us!

Omg this is exactly what I am experiencing, trying to justify the surgery, like I lack willpower, desire, intelligence to lose weight. Actually I was feeling just like a failure. Couldn't "hack it" like somehow surgery is the easy way out. Well I have never worked so hard for something.

Don't give up if I do this, so can you

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
