update for ashamed and frustrated



Recommended Posts

First thank you everyone for your support.

I went to see my Dr a few days ago. Well last Christmas I got the flu. After I was well my neck was in pain. I went to see my Dr and my thyroid was inflamed and swollen. Now I am cold all the time, my hair is falling out, I am tired all the time and I have gained weight. Hypothyroidism! I have one more test and maybe another ultrasound to do and that will tell my Dr if I need meds to help with my thyroid problem.

In the mean time, I got another fill and now up to 7.5 cc and continue with my diet and small portions. And go back for another fill in June..

I am not so worried about the fill, I would like the get my thyroid under control.

Thank you everyone for your positive thoughts and being supportive, It really help me get through my negative feelings. I think I will be ok now. But I will be back for more encouragement when I need it.

takuwinds,

So glad you made this post. I was literally just wondering about how you've been doing!

Glad you went to your Dr.'s to find out what was going on! It's good you have answers now and that you went and got yourself taken care of! Hypothyroidism will definitely throw you off track.

Stay strong and keep pushing through. You're doing all the right things for all the pieces to fall into place!

Keep in touch!

      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.
