Starting To Become Discouraged...



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I started my Journey back in September. I went to all my seminars and my Doctor appointments and finally got a date of 11-14-2011. Which was later changed due to one other test my Doc wanted me to do. So I was rescheduled for Surgery which should of been 11-30-2011. Now just to be certain my Doc wants me to see one other Specialist so now I have to reschedule again. Has anyone else been through this. Everything is approved just waiting on my Doctors clearance. She has all the time in the world to schedule me for any type of Doctors she wants me to see. But she always waits to the last minute to do it and I am soooo Ready. Starting to think that it is not going to happen.

Took me 7 months to get through the wickets...didn't really "mind", felt I needed the time to get my head on straight before they started fixing my tummy...

Looking back on it, it felt like it happened very quickly, so don't get disappointed...I am sure anything your doc is asking for is only for your safety and protection!!

Don't know what happened to my last post. As I stated It's not that I am rushing, I just feel that she has enough time to get these test done besides waiting until a few days before. That is what annoys me. Especially because I have to keep doing this dam diet. I am hungry....

      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.
