Disappointed



Recommended Posts

Wasa I think you have been sending telepathic signals my way....... I was banded Aug 15, and MY goal is to get TT/Boob Lift, and possible a nose job next Aug 15. I have even been doing the math to see when all this will be paid for, (probably 10 years, that;s what the line of credit is for).

I think your goal was inspired, your success has been phenomenal, and it really sucks when the universe doesnt cooperate with your plan.

In the long term however I think Jachut is right, in 2 years the surgery date wont matter. Right now however, it still sucks!!

Good luck, I am here for you, and I won't lie....I am majorly jelous! :D

im going to have to jump on that band wagon too ... just paint me green ...

M...

I know you are right. It sucks today, it won't make a bit of difference in the near future. I just want it DONE and DONE quickly.

I've never been a patient person. :)

just like we all want to be at goal last week ... you have done an amazing job and should be proud (as i am of you...) i think you are making a good decision to stick to your wishes of the fat doctor (heh) be with you during Sx...

I *just* hung up from talking to sissy (the sane one). I told her that I had a heart to heart with my fat surgeon last week and he explained WHY I can't break or fudge on the rules. I can't freak'en move for 15 days. I have to be in a damn ball from my waist up for 15 verrry long days.

I told her that my friends have offered to let me stay with them or they would stay with me. I don't want that, I want to go to sissy's house. She's cool with that, insisted on it, matter of fact.

So I'll have the surgery when I have it and stay with sissy.

I still wanted it in under a freak'en damn year! I'm not over it yet but working on it. :D

Heh... I guess I failed to mention that I have ADHD. I can't sit still for five minutes if my bloody life depended on it.

I swear, I need mega tranqs for this one.

I run circles around everyone else. I don't have cable TV because I can't sit still long enough to watch a single movie. I can't sit still, I'm like an ADHD kid that climbs the walls... only in adult version.

Hi Nina,

I empathise with your issue with the surgeon - I've changed doctors on a number of occasions when I haven't felt comfortable with them for one or another reason. I stopped going to one guy because he consistently kept me waiting for up to an hour and I thought it was highly inconsiderate especially as I had to get a babysitter in order to be there so I found someone else. At one time I had a female gynea who gave me the creeps for some reason - I just felt she enjoyed her work too much and she talked to me as though I was a child - stopped going to her too!

Thought I'd apply a little acronym to how you might rationalise your situation - it's the GROW method:

G - goal - what is your goal and why does it mean so much to you?

R - reality - consider the reality and how it is affecting you?

O - options - what options do you have to manage your situation?

W - will - do you have the will to manage your options so that you face your reality head on but still achieve your goal?

This might mean naff all to you but I find it good - it can make you take stock when you're faced with a difficult situation.

Hope it helps a bit.

cheers, Jude

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
