Rough Next Several Weeks!



Recommended Posts

So it seems one minute I am "yayyyy" because I hit onderland(actually it was a couple of weeks ago). Now I am like OMG! Mother's Day is creeping up and it will be the first Mother's Day since my Mom passed away (a week after my surgery) - but the next day my hubby will be leaving for Cypress/Israel where he will be for at least several weeks!!!

My non-surgery-but-doing-awesome weight loss buddy is going to Philadelphia for however long to properly spoil her step-grandchild. Again "yayyy" but poo!

I need hobbies...lol

LOL, Pookey! I thought you had bunnies to help keep you busy?? This is a rough weekend for me as well, but, luckily, I'm going to spend at least a few hours of it with another poster here! I met Colorchic and her hubby just before she had her sleeve done. I'm really looking forward to seeing her progress since surgery!

Do you sew, read, or anything else? Maybe you can concentrate on that for a few weeks until things calm down again? I need to pull out my quilt that I've been working for over 2 years and get some work done on it!

I do have hobbies, actually - I was just whining...but it so happens my favorite company is my hubby.

I think it is that he will be missing stuff we had planned - really looking forward to doing with him - so I will feel his abscence more.

I ride bikes, play with my bunnies, tend to my carnivorous plants (and others) - lately I am researching inexpensive ideas to re-do the kitchen and bath (till we do his dream kitchen once we are sure we won't be moving). I am also back into devilsticks & flowersticks, contact juggling, and boxing, krav maga (a little less on the krav maga until my sleeve is healed better) and I am back into european swordplay (double swords rawrrrrrr!).

I can keep busy, and I am not really lonely when I am alone - but really like being around people right now. Hmmmm.

This will be my first mothers day without my mom also. My dad also let us know he has a new 53 y/o girlfriend (he is 70) that he will be going to visit on Sunday. The urge to stuff food in my face has been almost overwhelming. We will get thru it. Probably with lots of tears, but we will get thru it!

      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.
