Can someone give me a swift kick in the #$#$
Hi! I had vsg surgery on April 26th 2013 and have lost 95 lbs. Great work you would think but lately I have not been behaving myself. I am looking for a little support and motivation to make it to my goal of 125 lbs. 30 more would make me 160 lbs and that has been my goal since day one. Eating wise I have been doing well but lately I have not been exercising and drinking some alcohol. I had quit smoking for the first 5 months then started again .....HELP!!!!!!! What is wrong with me!!!! I am still losing but not in the right way. I don't know what has happened to my motivation and need a little help. I think I have lost the drive and fear that I had lots of support in the beginning then it was gone. My sister had the surgery in July and is doing well. I fear that it is now a competition between us and she may win. Not that I care but others seem to be pitting us against each other. I feel guilty for the people that I have lost contact with in this website and fear that they will hate me as I appeared to gone silent after my surgery. For that I am sorry and want to say I am sorry for the lack of communication. I know this sound pathetic and some one looking for sympathy but if you knew me you would not think that. I just need a good kick in the butt!!!!!
Hi Heather :) my name is Rhonda and I live in Cape Breton. I too am considering going to mexico this year. Probably sometime in April. Did you pick a surgeon yet ? I have been on the waiting list for Capital Health in Halifax since 2009 and I called them to see if I am getting close and I was told it would probably be another couple of years. REALLY ??? So, now I am taking it into my own hands and would love to have someone to travel with if you are serious about going. I have been doing tons of research on the VSG in Mexico if you are really thinking about going or just want to chat, send me a message :D
Hello ! So happy to see you are back. I actually reconsidered having the surgery after you disappeared fearing you had a bad experience. I am glad to see that everything went good with the surgery :) What you are going through sounds like what I feared would happen to me if I had the surgery. I tend to sabotage myself when things are going good. I recently started dieting and lost 25 lbs but guess what ....after 13 years of being a non-smoker I had a few drinks with friends and started smoking again. I tend to give up 1 bad behaviour and replace it with another. Ironically, I replaced smoking with eating 13 yrs. ago and found myself at 300 lbs. It's crazy I know & very hard to control. Maybe you should consider going to a dietician. Sometimes having to answer to someone gives you that kick you need. I also tend to sabotage myself if a friend is also on a diet and is competative. I honestly think it has something to do with low self asteem or fear that you will be made to look like a failure so you would rather just disengage completely. I recently came into some money and am considering going for the surgery, which would mean quitting smoking :S . Do you feel it was worth your while having it ? Or has your entire journey been bad ? I wish there was something I could say to help you with your issue :( If I think of something I will message you for sure :D
