Today I am just so emotional! Everything is making me want to cry. Been having some money issues and I am having such a hard time waiting for my surgery. I want everything to be done now so I can start feeling better! 3 more months to go...woo.

Sorry for venting, I'm just having a bad day. :(

It is nice here. Tho to be honest I haven't really made to many new friends. I've had a couple surgeries since I've been here so I haven't found a job that is nearby that doesn't require standing for long periods(2 knee replacement and arthritis in the back. I have eyesight problems as well so I'm limited to how far I can drive. But I love our little town. It's so cute. Lol

The waiting sucks but just remember that you are not alone and it's well worth the wait.

      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.
