Afraid I am not going to make it



Recommended Posts

So I am self-pay and I am afraid I am not going to make it to September/October. I am supposed to be on a doctor monitor diet because of my high triglyceride levels and my cholesterol being up a little. I have a lot of weight to lose..But still...I feel like I am never going to get to surgery for one reason or another: either my passport won't arrive on time or I won't end up having enough money or I will die of sudden death one day before I even have a chance to live a new life in a healthy body. I am so sick of dealing with all these health issues. I am sick of being morbidly obese and having Fibromyalgia and being too exhausted...oh and the sweating..dont get me started on that... It is no fun being hot and sweaty all day every day...

Why does waiting have to be so hard and take so long and seem so impossible...? (Sigh)

Is it time to sit back and learn a little bit of patience? It's frustrating as all hell not knowing when the surgery will be but you will...You have come this far so now it's time to practice living today and learning new habits of eating slowly, drinking tiny sips, walking and exercising as much as you can. After the surgery your health issues will get much better and easier to handle and you most likely won't have the sweating all day problem. That would be a hughe relief..You really don't know what your future holds for you at this moment, but as long as your worried about the future, you are losing these precious moments today. This is the time to start learning about you and the triggers you have to foods. Look at you food addiction and start to make some positive changes today. A little bit at a time. :P

I too am tired of waiting. It's been six months for me and hope to be sleeved next month. I also have the fear it somehow wont work out. I'm not yet approved by the insurance. I'm tired of the exhaustion, the sweating, the general misery with my appearance, etc. Let's just do this already!

      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.
