Feeling sorry for my self...pity party



Recommended Posts

So in June I start the process I weighed 565 over the last 6 months I've gotten down to 490. Did a 4 week liquid diet, surgery was yesterday, they got in there and could not complete surgery. Feel like giving up. I want this but don't know if I can do it anymore.

Don't give up! You have already done great - over 70 lbs - wow! I can appreciate you are disappointed that they couldn't do the surgery. Did they say why? Are they going to try again?

Poor you! I lived in fear of this (I think we all do!) Thinking of you and hoping for a better outcome next time. But seriously, you've done so well thus far...

they could not get my abdomen extended enough to see the stomach, and with my weight it was to dangerous to open.

I understand the disappointment.. I know what's it like to work hard at something only to have a roadblock thrown in your way.

There are many days when I feel like I'm swimming against the current. And well, it gets tiring....

Take your day and feel sad, you have good reason.

But don't give up! Like I said, you have done so well getting that weight off, keep doing what you are doing diet and exercise wise. Be strong, fight the feeling of defeat and let them try (and succeed I'm sure) again.

You have every reason to feel disappointed. But, you have done so AMAZINGLY well on your own leading up to this.

As much as it hurts; head down, grit your teeth and attack this monster.

You can do it.

Slay this dragon and you'll soon be in for round two and this time, it will happen for you.

My thoughts are with you x

      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.
