Fear of failure
i am having my second revision surgery the week of thanksgiving. My biggest fear is that it won't work and I am out of options. Everyone says you just have to follow your food plan but that worries me bc honestly if I could just follow a food plan I wouldn't need surgery. I feel so desperate.
honestly, all weight loss surgeries are is a tool. They help us lose and keep weight off but they are not a magic bullet that will let us eat whatever whenever and still lose and maintain.
Unless you get some kind of control I don't think any surgery is going to work long term for you. Have you tried therapy?
I have tried therapy but will probably try to return to therapy when I get back from surgery. I work and have a small child so making time for therapy is really difficult. I've also had a hard time finding a therapist that works with food issues. All the general therapists say they can work with food issues, but I have found that the therapy has not really helped with my food issues. I know based on my past experience that the surgery wont fix everything, I am just out of ideas for a solution and am hoping that I can use this tool successfully.
