Day 27: The more things change



Recommended Posts

TOM came today. Also I'm not sleeping enough: I fell asleep oneish this morning and was up at 7:30 this morning, feeling like the contents of my blender. I was wondering when the beastly part of the month was going to rear and charge. I'm tired and crampy and my fuse is very short. The sky is doing its imitation of concrete. Add this to an extremely annoying phone call from my ex and you've got the whole divx download of Day 27.

This leads me to want to fill this whole space with an entire encyclopedia about my ex but I won't.

It all sucks but it's all just as normal and crummy as it was before my sleeve. All the regular crappy things about my life are still operating perpetually to wreck my good will and pleasing comportment.

In sleeve news, though, I got some reassurance from Dr. A headquarters that mild pain and morning nausea are also completely normal. What they said was that I was making enough stomach acid for a whole stomach as opposed to a thin slice of one and recommended that I take two prilosecs a day instead of one, and that worked well enough. On the other hand I had all kinds of other morning unpleasantness.

And in other news....sigh. My computer's power source just died. This is the end of the road for this one I think so if there is no post here on Day 28 don't assume I have expired. I'll be at Best Buy spending too much money. As usual :)

Computers and ex husbands. Good luck with that. I am addicted to my computer, and maybe just a little to my ex husband as well. I don't want ether one of them to die... but I think it would be harder if my computer were to "go" of the two. I feel kind of evil thinking that....

TOM, POS* and computer crud at the same time? Ding, ding, ding you've just won the crappy day "trifecta". And, now that you've got your new life groove goin' on (slinky sleevette in training) you can't even kick back and chill out with an old movie, a warm blanket and a bite of chunky monkey yet! Shopping for a new computer can be just as, um, "therapeutic", right?

*Piece O' Sh..... Been there, done that, got the ENTIRE wardrobe! Lucky for me after my short (thankfully) stint with said POS I found THE love of my life and we've been happily married for 32 years. It's amazing what the love and support of and protection by a good man does for your self esteem. He's loved me through thick and thin (mostly thick) -- fat thighs and all.

Keep your chin up girlfriend. Life's too short to waste any more precious energy on toxic relationships that drag you down -- you still have too much real living to do.

Well just in case yo think I am extra blessed over here with the love of my life AND menopause , I have a POS ex too- and since we had a fabulous child together I am attached to him for life. UCK. Here we be struggling to keep afloat since everyone is having their uncle photograph the wedding and the man owes me 10k in back child support and somehow thinks he is too special to have to pay. Sigh.

As for computers? You will pry my laptop out of my cold dead hands... so I would hit that store pronto.

But....ok....you are allowed to skip an update tomorrow. You don't even have to show me the receipt. I will be out myself frantically looking for a Protein powder I can stand without gagging. I will pray for you CW- and your computer, and You Empress and your surgery, and please pray for me and my freakin; Protein Powder.

How are you doing this morning? I feel like a stalker watching your every post LOL I'm not sure why I relate to you, maybe because you tell it like it is and you're quick to update on your daily happenings. Whatever the reason, I watch your posts to see whats going on with your surgery (I think I joined the board right before or after you had it done) because I'm hoping to be where you are soon.

As much as I want you to be pain free soon, I want more than anything for your depression to ease up a bit. I know how it feels to distract others by making them laugh and the whole time crying inside and hope like hell no one can see it. It tears me apart to see you going through this. If you ever need to talk I'm a phone call away or feel free to send me a msg here, either way, please don't let it eat at you for too long...it's a deep dark place you're headed toward and I worry for you.

*hugs*

      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.
