To Make Things A Little Easier.

Idk why but i was hoping that I could fix my insomnia issues after surgery but so far not happening. Thought I could take pain meds and go to bed early from being tired but not so much. Hopefully exercising will help!

I'm kinda hoping the same thing. Im still preop. But I was hoping surgery and exercise would improve my sleep.

I can't wait to have more energy. It's not like I don't get enough sleep, I sleep 10 hours a night. But I'm tired and sluggish all day. Reminds me if that eCard "I already want to take a nap tomorrow"

I'm so sick of not having any energy. I complained so much about most of the pre-op testing I've had so far....but my Dr. Just found an issue with my thyroid...which is a blessing in disguise. If it wasn't for starting the process of getting this surgery, I probably never would have found out! I'm hoping for more energy once it's treated lol. The pre-op testing is a pain, but I see the importance of it now.

No energy and no REAL food caused me to almost pass out today getting blood drawn ! I had a heavy sense of anxiety and I just felt like I was pouring sweat everywhere ! I am ready to have some full liquids at this point !

And to make it so bad ... SHE DIDN'T FIND NOT ONE VEIN AND BLEW ALL THE ONES SHE DID ! So basically I am grouchy due to hunger and no energy and this just put the icing on the cake !

I no my journey is my own but gosh ... No one said it would be this incredibly hard !

Ugh ...

That's terrible :( Hang in there though. Just think...it's almost over. My sister is your age and doing her two week liquid diet now and having a hard time. I keep letting her know her NEW life is so close now, it's in sight. It's frustrating, but you are almost there.

      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.
