Feeling Some Type Of Way.... Need To Vent Really Quick.



Recommended Posts

:: Morning Vent ::

I had my weigh-in yesterday and I told my doctor my concerns about my BMI. (thinking about the s**t is driving me nuts).Well I lost a total of 12pds and it dropped me to 40.7 from 41.9. I explained to him what the patient coordinator said, " if I am 40> by consultation i should be fine". He said " Well I can tell how much to not lose..." Thats when he came back with the "40.7".

Basically if I lose 5pds. I wont qualify... he expressed this and also said that

"it isn't necessarily bad to drop below either because any reduction of weight is a good thing,and if I can lose,I should go for it and avoid the potential complication that may follow RNY surgery." Although he didn't discourage me from getting the surgery, I felt like he wants me to give this 6 months an honest shot to lose weight. That's understandable! Then it hit me..., I know for a fact that the only reason I was successful losing pds. this month, or any other month, is because it was medication assisted! As soon as I stop taking them, the weight piles on with a vengeance!! I only have two more months of Rx for it and I can guarantee there will be a shift in the scale.. and not a good shift. I guess my case will resolve itself after the prescriptions stop. -_- *shrugs shoulders*

      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.
