change of heart

due to my accident last week i have decided to not have weight loss surgery, nearly being killed has opened my eyes big time, it has been like a light being switched on for the first time in my life. why do i want to put myself through this risky op in case i die, i have been givin a second chance at life, and i am not going to abuse it, if i have to get used to eating tiny amounts of food and also having to go on the milk diet, then if i can do this for the sake of having an op then why cant i do it without the op, i am the only one to blame for being this size, no one forced the food into my mouth, so i have got to take charge of me and try to lose weight slowly, i never wanted the surgery just so i could be thin. i wanted it for health reason. well if i lose even a few stone my health will get better, so im going to finally take control of my eating. my god nearly dieing has a very strange effect on ones out look on life . most of my life, i have blamed my weight on every thing else but me, im not religious but someone saved my life this week, and if i can come through an accident like this,i can do anything , so i am now going to TRY and lose weight without an op . maybe in a year or two if i have not been able to do so, then i will think about it again . but im not going to risk my life for something i should be able to do for myself..... i wish all of you every success for your journeys and i will still post on here, as i really love this site and admire what you are all doing. but i really have to try and do this for myself alone .....even if i might fail...

[cah-ching]

Can I ask - are you absoultely sure? I mean surgery is a huge undertaking. Did you have even a small kernel of uncertainty before the accident?

[dreamofbeingslim]

Yes I too have been asked to think about which I would like but I think I will still go with the bypass.

Tray, i did a massive reply to this but got distracted by the phone and didnt realise it had n't posted.

I understand your reasons for wanting to give it one last go, especially since your near brush with death last week.

All i would say to you is this, yes give it one last go on your own (i'm guessing you're like most of us and have tried repeatedly to lose weight and going for this surgery was you finally admitting you can't do it alone). So give it a good go, but don't get taken of the list at the hospital. Keep doing as they ask but at the same time try and lose the weight yourself, at least then if you don't achieve your dream you won't be starting from scratch again....

I'm only saying this as i'm on my second run at wls. This time it's happening for me as i have realised with all the will in the world i am not going to get healthy on my own. Even being diagnosed diabetic didn't help me.

Good luck in your choice, don't ever think you can't rethink your decision in a couple of weeks time. Nobody will ever judge you, and we all wish you well xxx

 

[dreamofbeingslim]

Good luck with the weight loss I so hope you manage to do this.

 

[LBD]

I admire your decision Tray and wish you the best of luck for the future.

Please pop in and let us know how it's going.
