I've had a really rough day too. When people talk about their holiday plans I become resentful that I can't make plans because of recovery time... Mad at myself for being fat and in this position.

Yes, inconveniencing my family and also spending all our money. I'm paying out of pocket and we are scraping by for Christmas as a result. Oh well, I know it'll be worth it for them to have a more active, longer living mother and wife. Just wish it hadn't come to this.

I know what u mean... I've kept myself busy since 6am today by getting my hair braided which took 6 hours. Then I got rid of all the clothes in my closet & rearranged my bedroom. I brought a few new outfits in smaller sizes!

I have had a rough two days! Surgery on Tuesday they call me on Friday at 3:30 and tell me that I need to pay nearly $4000.00 before surgery. I am just devastated as I do not have that just readily available. I have to complete my scope procedure Monday but if can't get it paid why do I need to do that. So I am in a pickle do I continue with liquid diet or eat? I am going to beyond mad if I have given 11 days of my life up only not to have surgery. Need some advice fast please. Been trying to handle this but emotion is getting the best of me now.

I can't even imagine how your feeling! Is it something to do with insurance or the hospital? My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Oh my.... Sorry to hear of this.... Why would they wait so long to tell you this like everyone just has lots of money at their disposal. Do you have any access checks from a credit card you can use, or can you get a credit line increase on a credit card, apply for a loan 1st thing Monday morning. I know you're devastated. I would stay on the liquids just incase you can pull it off. Wish you much luck!

I asked the same thing why so they did not talk to me sooner. We started this process in March. Applied for medical loan on Friday and stayed on liquid diet. We will see on Monday.

I can't believe they waited all this time to tell you that? Wish I had some ready answers, but I don't. Insurance will not cover it?

      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.
