frustrated....but, not giving up!!



Recommended Posts

So I got a call from my doctor's office this week. They are having to postpone my surgery by two days. I was so mad when I found out, but now have come to terms with it. I guess it is kind of a blessing because it will give me two extra days to recover before I have to be back at school. It is going to be tough, but I know I have much support here and with my family and I will get through. My new surgery date is July 27 at 6:30 am. I have lost a total of 14 lbs on my pre-op diet the last two weeks and I am so proud of myself! It is a great feeling and I know I will be addicted to it after I have my surgery. Well thanks for listening.....

i am trying....just one more day!! I cannot wait! I started my liquid diet today and I feel ok! My dr only requires one day of liquid but I am doing two just to be safe. Nerves are starting to get a little jittery, but I can finally see the other side!! It has been a long journey, I started this process over 7 years ago and now it is finally happening!

Thank you so much for the support!

How are you doing now Dawn? You have been sleeved, been recovering!!! I was also sleeved on July 27 around 9:30am. My surgery time was posted for 10:45am but as soon as I got to the hospital, they started calling for me to get down to the OR. I had to be prepared and made ready but I was done earlier than we thought I would be.

It is now time for support and sharing of experiences. I have posted mine and if you have any questions, I am always here to help.

Good luck on your continued journey!

Sheila

      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.
