GOING INSANE, PLEASE HELP!!!!



Recommended Posts

I have started making my list of items I am going to need before and after surgery. I have been to gyms in my neighborhood to find out what they offer and cost of memberships. I even have been in the stores looking at my dream size 10 regularJ. So I have found something’s to distract me, but the surgery is never far from my mind. I call the doctors office to ask questions and make sure they have all my test results and I have my seven week count down going. Thank you all for your word of encouragement and support.

If I had to do it over again I would cook and freeze some 1 cup servings of mushy stuff. Right after surgery I just got so tired for the first couple of weeks. I would cook a couple good Soups, maybe a gumbo, a good chili, etc. At least it will already be cooked and all you will have to do is wirrrr it in the blender! Good luck.....lost another 2 lbs yesterday....this sleeve ROCKS!!!!! :) Having a great year!!! (Sleeved May 23, 2011) :)

I love the idea of going through and arranging all my old clothes. I hadn't thought of that, I have so many old things that I'll be able to wear again, I think I'll do that some tonight. I'm sure I'll want to buy some new things, but I have a ton packed away. Thanks.

I'm so glad this thread was started! I am 23 days away and have been really stressing. I've been trying to keep my attention focused on planning for it. Heck, I've already packed! The time is just dragging! I, like you, thought perhaps I should leave the forum for now, to force my attention else where, but I just can't seem to do that. I'm even neglecting my farm on Facebook tongue.gif

I love the idea of freezing the meals and cleaning out the clothes. I'm going to get busy on this!

I think it's amazing how supportive the folks are here! Glad I stumbled onto this site!!

You said "do do". lol

Kala, I was depressed to tears right after my surgery for a good two weeks. I finally got really stoned, had a couple of whiskies, made a party of one, and was OK the next morning. I don't recommend doing that, but do do something to break the spell. Best wishes.

Take it from me. Don't hang your happiness on getting the surgery.

The weight loss is great, don't get me wrong. But, I'm depressed as hell.

kala

may i ask, why are you so depress. does it have anything to do with being sleeved?

      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.
