Playing With My Life



Recommended Posts

I had a very busy day today not time to really think so now my day is done and I'm laying here thinking. I go for the last part of my phsyic eval tomorrow I not worried I think I will pass it. Nov 12 is my last appt befor we send every thing in for approval. We do everything they tell us to do jump threw ever hoop they put in place (and its worth it) but at the end of the day they can still say NO. This is really nagging at me. I have high blood pressure had a mild heart attack in July hurt my back 3yrs ago now I walk with a walker. SMH I need my life back and they hold all the card.

I really really understand what you are feeling right now, I did finally get approved, but hoops I jumped. And never felt so out of control of anything ever. They do have all the power, But sounds to me you have the reasons one would need for this surgery. Praying that you get approved quickly and you can get your life back. I want mine back too. Just wanted you to know that I truly understand how you are feeling. Please try to replace that feeling with HOPE. HOPE the most powerful thing there is to me. and I have HOPE for us all.

      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.
