rant about health



Recommended Posts

I am a chronic pain patient. A year ago I went to a long- term pain rehabilitate program which really improved my quality of life...I decided to get healthy hence the rny. Welll as I was exercising pre op, I somehow pinched a nerve in my hip which left me in constant pain again....the I found out I tore the labrum in my tight shoulder. Then today I found out that My back is totally f'd up with arthritis and intrudinng bone spurs that are causing me more nerve pain. I'm ssssoooo tired of being squsdhed by health problems. I walk everyday but I get jealous when I see posts about how herd people are working out. I really just want to get healthy and toned....I guess in God's time....I still think that I'm failing because I can't really push myself when exercising..n YET!

You're right...I just need to do the best I can and leave the rest to God. I'm sorry about the rant, I just found out about my back today and felt discouraged.

Rant away!!!! It's hard when we are going through something and its keeping us from being where we want to be. That's life!:(

Jealousy is such a human emotion so don't feel bad, let it be a drive!

In time! In time!

Wishing you all the best.

Surgery date 7/25/12

      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.
