Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hi everyone, It's lilka again. Today I got my surgery date which will be January 23rd. I wish I were all excited like so many of you. I feel a litle down today. I have always felt miserable that I have come to this. But i have. I wish I could be all happy but I feel as if I am doing some kind of sentence and it has to be done so I have to shut up and keep walking toward the inevitable. I have been reading 's turmoil and I dread that that might happen to me. It is OK . I bet it is because of this brother and new baby. I have people in my house all the time and it really makes me want to eat. I finally told everyone to cook for themselves. I try to escape a lot from them but it its a constant source of irritation. I also agree with the advice of not even touching that " stuff " . That is how I got through Xmas. Also, remember the rules of the pouch. Drink, drink, drink. Keep it full of water, not food. But what do I know? I am very humble before all of you and I find each of you an inspiration to me. You too, because you came out with the truth. I would probably have hidden away in shame. I have too much shame around eating which I believe has caused me to eat much more. To all of you, Happy New Years. I know mine will be interesting, challenging and I am hopeful for less pain, less diabetes and more energy. Thanks to all. Lilka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Lilka, you are going to be alright honey. Everyone responds different to when the big day is finally here. Its not a sentence at all. It is a lifestyle change and you really have to be willing to make that change. If you can look at it as FREEDOM instead of a sentence you might be moved to change how you feel. I say freedom because the day before surgery was the last day I took medication for anything. My labs showed that I am free from the diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, acid reflux and only Lord knows the three meds I took for asthma. The weight came off. I am 10 months out, size 8 petite and I for my personal goal want to lose 10 more pounds. So sentence...NO Way. Freedom...Yes Way. I can wear a belt after 14 years. My husband can pick me up and carry me. I shop in the youth department/junior department. Sometimes smalls are too big. My sex life was never bad (always had it-sorry guys) but now...honey, it is heaven. I have attention like never before but I keep myself grounded and no the worth of my 18 relationship with my husband. I can run around with my kids. Run up and down the stairs without getting winded. My list of reasons could go on and on but I won't. Think about it and if you are not absolutely sure then post pone it like Gordy did. He just recently had the surgery and I believe he is glad that he made the choices that he made. I wish you well in whatever you decided to do and just like we did for Gordy, we will support you and anyone else to. Pam Marsh --- Lilka wrote: > Hi everyone, It's lilka again.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Lilka: What you're feeling is normal. You're about to go through a monumental change. Sometimes I was in a state of mild shock as my surgery date approached. I don't know if this is what's going on with you, but it might be, so I'll give it a try. Most of us are really not afraid of failing. Were afraid of succeeding because it will make us shine above others around us, and that creates tension. I've parted ways with three morbidly obese former friends because they were unwilling or incapable of being happy for me. The fact that I was confronting an issue so close to their source of pain caused them to react in ways I never expected. I'm better off without friends like that, and I've replaced them with people who celebrate my success and ease my burdens. Don't hide your light under a bushel. Keep going although you might feel not-so-great about it. You are the best gift you can give yourself. A new life, a new way of being is coming down on you. Be open to it and always, always do what is best for you. It won't always be easy, but it'll be the best thing you could have ever done for yourself. With all the pain and sorrow (emotional, not physical) I've gone through, I wouldn't change a thing because, as Gity (at Kaiser SSF) once told me, " The Price of Freedom is dear, but it's fruit is delicious. " May you taste that freedom and may you soar like an eagle. The view is dazzling from up here. Francisco > > Hi everyone, It's lilka again. Today I got my surgery date which > will be January 23rd.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I feel exactly like you! Congratulations on your surgery date! I am waiting for my date. I am ashamed that it has come to this as well. But, it has and we have to make the best of this new way of life now. I have spent the last 7 or so months saying "goodbye" to all of my fav. foods, etc...it's so hard to think of life after having a new pouch. I just keep telling myself that it's all for the best and everything happens for a reason. Hang in there, together, we all can make it! Love, Jenn Lilka wrote: Hi everyone, It's lilka again.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Lilka Congratulations on the date. There are always worries with any surgery, but we have to think of how it will benefit us. You will have challenges and you must have courage, and we must think with our brain not our emotions. I'm hear for you and you are in my prayers and thoughts. All will work out for the best. Hang in there. DonnaLilka wrote: Hi everyone, It's lilka again. Today I got my surgery date which will be January 23rd. I wish I were all excited like so many of you. I feel a litle down today. I have always felt miserable that I have come to this. But i have. I wish I could be all happy but I feel as if I am doing some kind of sentence and it has to be done so I have to shut up and keep walking toward the inevitable. I have been reading 's turmoil and I dread that that might happen to me. It is OK . I bet it is because of this brother and new baby. I have people in my house all the time and it really makes me want to eat. I finally told everyone to cook for themselves. I try to escape a lot from them but it its a constant source of irritation. I also agree with the advice of not even touching that "stuff". That is how I got through Xmas. Also, remember the rules of the pouch. Drink, drink, drink. Keep it full of water, not food. But what do I know? I am very humble before all of you and I find each of you an inspiration to me. You too, because you came out with the truth. I would probably have hidden away in shame. I have too much shame around eating which I believe has caused me to eat much more. To all of you, Happy New Years. I know mine will be interesting, challenging and I am hopeful for less pain, less diabetes and more energy. Thanks to all. Lilka Donna JordonDSJordon@... Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.
