Waiting

Well still waiting for a surgery date. Diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and waiting on doctor to call me and get my cpap machine. Sleep study was done over a week ago. Called doctor last Friday and they said they just received a phone call the day before but no results had been faxed over and they were waiting for those. Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, WAITING SUCKS!!!!! I will be so glad when I get a date at least and then I will know for sure that this dream of mine is a reality. Stuck in a rut!

I know this post was a while ago but I hope you are feeling better? I hope you got the cpap machine, I know several people that have one and say it's the best sleep they have had in a while. waiting does suck and causes our stress to elevate which I know for me used to lead to more eating. I hope you are able to manage that stress better than me, but if not....don't beat yourself up about it. You are here which is already a great start. I did not find this website until just before surgery, which I had known about it sooner....would have helped with some of my anxiety about surgery and what to expect. Wishing you all the best and hoping to hear from you soon!

Thank you! :) I kinda haven't been on here in awhile cause I was over stressing about it all. I did receive my cpap and it is amazing! I still have issues with something on my face but I cannot begin to describe the difference it has made in me. I no longer feel like an 80 yr old when I wake up. Energy level is up and my attitude is even different according to family and friends. I love this thing and look forward to wearing it!

I still can't seem to get it together as far as food goes. I really don't have any support in that area. I work and go to school and it's too easy just to grab something. I need to get me some veggies and fruits and make some little ziplock bags so I can just grab and go.

Still waiting though because the doctor has to see the results of month long use of the machine and that will be Feb. 15. After that who knows how long it will take me to get my last appointment and get a surgery date.

      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.
