So Frustrated!!!!



Recommended Posts

So I started this journey on 5/25/11 went through all the classes and seminars, then I was told I had to take additional therapy for O.C.D and I had to take 2-4 sessions for 4-6 months well I finally was cleared on 1/16/12 to have my surgery and at that time I scheduled my surgery date which was 2/7/12 but On Monday I did my pre-op surgery and paid my program fee, I got a call yesterday from my surgen stating I have to post pone the surgery because my hemoglobin is 7.3 and I need to bring it up to atleast 10 before I can have the surgery. So he emailed me a game plan on what I should do and his game plan is going to take another 4 MONTHS! I swear I have been that one patient that everything goes wrong with prior to surgery, now I am kind of feeling like a circus because I have to jump through hoops to get help with getting healthy. go figure!

Sounds like u are jumping through as many hoops as life throws at you, it is a real pain but u are better off being in the best condition for the surgery as u wont be able to eat much after particularly on the liquids post-op and with a low blood count u could cause yourself even more problems. I know all delays are disappointing but better to get it right the first time than have problems post op. Did your surgeon give any indication as to why your count was low ?

yes, I have anemia I didn't think it would take 4 months to get my levels to 10 seeing that my levels are only 7.3 but I guess I was wrong.

So It didn't take 4 months like I thought I was just cleared on 3/16 for surgery again and I should be making my surgery date on Monday. I have everything completed though all my insurance approvals and everything I am excited I just hope this time I am going to get the surgery and nothing else comes up. I am excited and so ready to have a summer long of getting healthy and working out. I even got into some classes at the gym to make sure I am doing everything in my power to have this work. Long time waiting but there is light at the end of the tunnel :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
