Pre Op Blues



Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of leaving my bd (baby daddy) I've been thinking about it for a while. We are going in different directions, he's an alcoholic and a drug addict which I used to be as well. But when I got pregnant I stopped getting high and he hasn't. He says I Want to leave him because I'm having surgery but the truth is I just want to be free of the hassle that is him. Need some advice, help please

Does he lift you up or try to put you down? Do you want your child to think he is a good role model? Get a good support network! Find friends who want the best for you and get away from him if he can't stay sober long enough to actually journey through life with you move on without him.

I'm sorry to hear this. I guess if it's not wiring out & he isn't willing to change it's time to move on. I'm in marriage counseling. It's helping out a lot. He was finally ready to admit he has been treating me badly.

Figure out your priorities. You Are making changes to have a healthy life for you and your family. Will he fit into this new healthy lifestyle? This road isn't easy And you won't need other outside stressors bringing you down. Only you can make this decision for you and your family. Good luck. Definately get a positive support network and do you!!

Yes, figure out your priorities.

Mentioning your reasons are because of surgery is probably out of fear and manipulation. Hang in there & be strong!

Best wishes!

      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.
