Having a pity party
I know the feeling. I've had quite a few of them here lately, myself. But, I have managed to get through. I liked what one reply said, that the doctor is in charge of rewiring your insides, and you are in charge of your brain. That's true. I look at myself and think that I don't want to be where I was before having surgery and that has helped me to cope with wanting to crave certain things that I know that I am not to have. Hope this helps!
Oh yes. The Pity Party. Why me? It's not fair! Haven't I suffered enough?
Before WLS after a mammogram they thought I had a tumor. "CANCER! Oh well" I thought "the kemo will make me lose weight." So, I didn't have a tumor and didn't have to suffer though kemo. But I am losing weight.
That's about the only positive I can come up to turn me around when I'm "in THAT moment". I am losing weight without kemo. I was REALLY excited to the thought of having kemo to make me lose weight, so why shouldn't I be excited to losing weight without feeling weak, vomiting, and possibly dying?
