 MD Member Since: 05/03/11 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/8/12 5:56 pm This a random poll I copied from the RNY forum. I thought it deserved reposting. I fear that I won't achieve the weight loss results I desire. I fear regain. I fear complications. I fear vitamin deficincies. HW 373 SW 357 GW 195    |

 Glendale, CA Member Since: 09/09/10 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/8/12 9:04 pm My biggest fear is losing control and letting my food addiction take over. I worry about not reaching my goal, regain, complications, but im not afraid of them necessarily. I'm just terrified of not being in control. "We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." Nor can we do what we've been doing and expect different results.

 Member Since: 04/22/09 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/9/12 8:45 am I mostly fear that I did such damage to my body that it won't be undone, but I also fear regain, and complications. I think a little back of the mind fear is okay, as long as it's the kind that keeps you on your toes. If it's the kind that keeps you up at night...that's a problem! :Danni :Danni >>>AIDS/LifeCycle 10 Finisher: 545miles on the bike in 7 days <<< |

 AL RNY (02/06/12) Member Since: 02/09/12[Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/11/12 9:39 pm I'm paranoid, so I have a lot of irrational fears like: I'm afraid I'll wake up one morning, completely forget I had the surgery and eat like 5 bowls of cereal, at which point I'll blow up. But in all seriousness I fear: - Iron deficiencies. I'm already anemic, so having this surgery made me even more nervous about it. - Going through all of this and still never losing enough weight to be at a healthy BMI. - Losing the weight then gaining it back PLUS more. - Rupturing my new stomach. - Dying before I can lose the weight. That was a huge one for me. I started at 460 lbs, and when you're told you probably don't have 5 years to live... well, that has a way of scaring the living bat crap out of you. I just find solace in the fact that all of the above can be avoided if I keep a watchful eye on my intake and exercise.  |

 Fort Wayne, IN Member Since: 06/30/01 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/18/12 11:57 am That I won't get to goal, which is 180-160, depending, and that when I do get there, I won't stay there. I'm starting to think that I will never be able to eat more than 1000 calories a day for the rest of my life. And that's with serious exercise. That scares me. But I can't think about "the rest of my life," only today.  Surgery weight 298 |

 (12/12/11) Member Since: 01/27/12[Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/20/12 4:07 pm That I will fail my surgery. I already am starting to graze and hate my food options and lax on my vitamins and exercise. The excitement is over. I have a few reasons for the grazing but I don't know if they are justified or if I am just making excuses...

 MI Member Since: 02/02/11 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 3/10/12 6:40 am I worry most about not reaching my goal after losing 210 lbs. so far. I have been in my first stall for 2 weeks now, I have change so many things in my life one being mainly my dietary intake. No white breads only whole grains and that's about 3 times a week, no pasta, no surgary. I only eat natural sugars that come from fruit. I exercise 5 days a week for 25 minutes. I also never want to be where I came from. |
