Less than a week and totally Stressed



Recommended Posts

Morning all I am having a horrible week had my surgery date set and Dr consult and then a week before surgery I have to get chest x-ray , stress test ,more blood work and cardiac clearance , why wait till the last min????:angry: I was on the way to one appt. and another nurse calls me and lets me know that I should have been on the way to another place at the same time :blink: I know I am a big person but still I am only one I took it out on the caller :( . Seems once your approved they wanna push you like crazy. Well I told her off told her I still have a life kids fiancee work ! I know you have alot of patients but the only one I care about is me ! :rolleyes: Maybe I am changing cuz I never would have said that befor but damnit I was mad and hungry :lol: . Sometimes it seems there are just to many hoops to jump through and they want these results yesterday ! Well they got my approval and pushed me to set a date they should have made sure all my shit was done and ready to go before not last minute . Thanks for listening

Ah... yes, I was stressed like that before surgery too but my Hospital was a little more on the ball.... I just had to sit and wait for the day but my family paid the price! Think my niece is still mad at me!

You'll do great! Relax and think of all the great things to come!

Good Luck

I know I just let them get the best of me I guess . :unsure: Will be going to LA on tuesday for all the rest of my stuff . Then back again on Thursday for the surgery . I'm lil nervous hahaha shoot alot nervous didn't think it would come but as each day does draws closed im closer and closer to my new me :bananajump: being able to do this soon without thinking is someone seeing my belly jiggle . I literally hate being seen trying to exercise because of my size . I hate doing so many things . Its going to be like a birthday everyday with new things happening daily for me and my family . May not all be good but then again not all bad :D !

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
