November Dates



Recommended Posts

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...

I start my 2 day liquid diet tomorrow. Surgery is on Tuesday morning and I have to say' date=' I'm feeling pretty zen about it. Just cleaning up the house today and tomorrow. I'm going to do every piece of laundry I can find so I don't have to worry about it. Post-op meds are ready. Mother and best friend are coming in tomorrow. So far everything is running smoothly. I feel so blessed. Your posts have helped a lot.

Now it's all about getting to the other side and recovery! Bring it!

Any of my November friends who are now post op having any issues with lightheadedness? It is not too horrible. Just not fun and making me a tad nauseas.

Me. I'm very light headed. I think it's because I'm not getting enough Fluid in. I hope you feel better soon.

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 .

      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.
