Going crazy!!

Hey family My surgery last Friday was a success as I've probably said several times. I am not worrying myself with "what if's". Like .. What if this dont work and I dont loose any weight. What if I'm not eating right, What if I have already scretched my pouch. What if something is broken inside of me and I dont know. Sounds crazy, I know but thats what I'm going through. I'm eating exactly whats on my nutritionist paper but when I see what someone else has eaten, I wonder If I made the right choice I was more positive going into surgery than I am now. What is my problem? Is this normal???? I keep crying everytime I start worrying. When will this go away. I cant wait to go the the Dr. on the 26th so he can tell me that I'm ok. I'm going crazy over here in NC, how are you? I just needed to get that out.... Kay

Kay don't worry you are fine, you just think about all the new clothes you are going to have to buy, don't worry. Just think how blessed you are, to have had wls. Alot of people are still not approved and struggling to have wls. So you will be fine don't worry yourself.

Thanks Sherry!!

It's "buyer's remorse" and it's very normal. Soon you'll see results and those second guesses and misgivings will start to dissipate. Doesn't it suck just being "normal" like the rest of us???? Jen

Hi Kay, this is actually my first time ever posting on this site, but your message moved me because I have been where you are since I had surgery. I am a born worrier and I just knew this wouldn't work for me (why not, nothing else evered worked). My partner had surgery in November and she didn't really share that she had doubts and fears after the surgery, so I thought I was nuts. I had all the same fears and concerns you do and more (and sometimes I still do), but reading the posts on this site made me feel less alone. I also read the posts on the December surgery forum and someone recommended reading the previous month to see if those folks had the same concerns and amazingly, everyone does! This is the worst time, trying to get enough protein and fluids and exercise when you just have no energy at all. It all gets better. Every day I notice changes and you will too. Take it easy on yourself and take care.

Hey were both from charlotte Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am also a natural born worrier. I keep saying I have such bad luck, will this be another failure. I'm trying hard to stay positive. Having to stay in the house til my doc appointment is not helping either. I have wayyy to much time on my hand. Thanks again Kay

Hey Sweetie Pie, You are going to be just fine. You have to be because you know I'm gonna need my girl to give me some hints and positive reinforcement. I have been on clear liquids all day, and it's actually not as bad as I thought it would be. Just one more day and then I am off to the races. I can't wait for the surgery to be over, and get back home to my honey and my dog. I know I will probably be freaking out just like you girl. Hang in there and keep the faith baby. It's all good!!! BIG HUGS, Rosa

Rosa Thanks girl!!

Kay, The first month is the most difficult. I said what did I do to myself many time. You will be fine and in 3 months will be surprised you ever had doubts. Chip

Kay, Hey lady, do not cry. Everything is ok. I know it is hard right now especially when you read about what other people are eating. You stop and think wow, why can I not have that also. You need to remember what your nut said. Do what you are told to do by them. Do not break the positivity, you will need that to bring you through. I have been really sick the last couple of days. Last night I was at the hospital for a while. I was really scared, but when I found out what was wrong everything else was ok. Like you said, you are not going to worry about the what if's, so dont. Everything is going to be fine. Get that positivity back into motion. HUGGSS, Melissa
