wls seminar made me lose my appetite
I have no idea. I cried for finally accepting myself the way I am now. I cried for the possibilities. I cried because my mom showed absolutely no response when I told her my intentions of having surgery. LOL Too many different emotions at once and I'm usually used to concentrating on everyone else but me, too.
I cried at the seminar (and I'm not a crier EVER) when I heard that a high percentage of Type II diabetics are cured by RNY. I didn't realize until that moment how scared I was about having diabetes. Incidentally, I took my last Metformin diabetes pill the night before surgery and have never had a high glucose or A1C since. Thank you Jesus.

"WLS is about making better choices, a healthier lifestyle and seeing how little you can eat. Portion control is the key to all weight loss surgeries. Bottom line - it isn't how much you can eat - it is how little you can eat."
yeah...i'm not a cryer either...LOL
I suppose what hit me hardest was when they talked about genetics and no matter how hard you diet...or even with surgery...even in your grave..you will always have your genetics. I Suppose i should forgive myself a little bit.
congrats on your success Lana. i might get my first appointiment date today....

To borrow from what another OHer explained to me: Its like loosing a close friend.
While I did not feel this way I do understand. Food, fat, lifestyle are all a part of how you live.
-Solitary eating may be your comfort like a friend albeit one that is disloyal.
-Obesity may be your reason for not doing, being, achieving personal, profesional, romantic goals.
-The lifestyle you've built as a fat person must change for you to be a more healthy person and this lifestyle will be missed even though its not ideal.
And, of course there is fear of success and/ or failure. Will I not loose it or regain? Will I become 'normal' yet still fail in areas where obesity held me back? Will my procedure be safe and uneventful?
This is a major emtional upset. Take your time and explore the emotions. Understand the what and why of it all. Be good to yourself in your self talk. You'll be ok
Mine was an eight year decision making process. That's what it took for me to be emotionally ready. Its ok that you are not yet eager with anticipation.
Best wishes to you.
