pwnykat 42 Posted November 11, 2012 congrats new bro's and sistas, and those who have crossed the line. I'm so thankful for all the experiences being shared and have been following everyone's progress closely. I'm getting frustrated that my surgery is so far away and that I have to lose so much before it. Its driving me nuts. I'm halfway through my Optifast diet, and have 3 weeks to go. Yes I have lost weight but I keep getting cravings. I have been fighting the cravings with frozen raspberries, but that isnt fish and chips, or pizza. I just know if I do eat the crap my body will rebel like it did last time I gave into cravings.... I'm so looking forward to being on the losing side. I have been cleaning and rearranging my house, buying ideal size clothing, and spoiling my fat cat rotten to keep myself active, but its annoying that I have to wait, and that if I slip up in the next 3 weeks it might not even happen. I'm getting really anxious (which for someone who already has an anxiety disorder is pretty rough). Not only is all this going on, but the surgeon also said I needed a Mirina put in pre op so that I wouldnt have serious issues with Iron deficiency. so organising that has been annoying too. I have to get an ultrasound on tuesday before insertion on Thursday... adding to the cost and the hassle. This is all self funded (well funded by a loan) so the mounting costs plus the fact I have to take leave without pay from work is really starting to mount... Just needed to vent. Guess this is why my surgeon wants me to have therapy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sarah2012 27 Posted November 11, 2012 Well everyone I made it through. Kinda sore but not to bad. Eating pudding type foods already and home. Ya! I'm drinking alot and am actually liking crystal light lemonade. Did not like it before. My husband was such a trooper for me. He stayed in hospital the whole time and slept in a very small recliner and got up and walked with me. He's so supportive . 4 Falicia004, worm2872, peachee213 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
