Frustrated with a captial F



Recommended Posts

Hope you feel better soon Coops. Once you start feeling better I'm sure that weight will come right off. Pain meds do that to me too. It's frustrating! ;)

Hey M2G...

I had a feeling that if you read this you would get it... we seem to be on the same page!! Yea, frustrating it is, but the rest is helping and I am walking better now. I get an ache in the hip area, but no pain... that is a massive relief too... but I am still so very tired.

God your poor mam, she certainly went through the mill... and her story about losing a chunk of her life reflects what my hubby is saying now... he was literally laid up from 26th May 'til the start of Sept, in a cast and brace... crutches etc. I have watched him struggle, cope, struggle cope and the cycle that goes with it. It has broken my heart to watch such a strong and handsome man be in so much pain and feel utterly useless... horrible to see our loved ones like that isn't it. He is better now, just a little limp and is hoping to return to work end of Oct... when I compare my leg with what he has gone through, it sorta gives me the strength to realise that our bodies are so strong, even when they feel weak.

And yes, I am never taking my body for granted again!!!

xx

I didn't know about your hubby...that is awful. I'm so glad that he is better and now it's his turn to take care of you. You guys need to both be 100% and have a nice relaxing weekend getaway, or at least dinner out!!! Yay for reduced pain...get some rest chica...hoping the worst is over now. 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.
