So worn & discouraged



Recommended Posts

I completed the programs requirements the 1st week in October. I was on liquids for 30 days. But 1 delay after another happened, so back to solids for 2 weeks

I call or email 2x a week

& I know I am annoying them. I am annoying me.

This whole process has been so physically & emotionally exhausting.

I want more than anything to not be an elephant anymore, but this undefined time frame is really tiring.

So here we are & it's Thanksgiving & I don't feel like doing this... But I have to fake it for the kids. And as we get towards Christmas I don't know how to make plans.

That sounds incredibly frustrating, especially the going back and forth on the pre-op diet. I feel like the only way I'm making it through it is knowing there is an end in sight. I have no words of wisdom, just wanted to say that I hear you and am sorry things are not going smoothly so far!

I am sorry that would be really frustrating. I paid for my surgery so I didn't have to deal with any of that but I will say the preop diet was harder than eating afterwards. At least afterwards your not starving. I hope you get a solid date soon. Good luck-

Are things moving along for you now? I'm just curious. ..

I finally have a date. January 8th. I am glad to get to spend Christmas with my family before. I would have been glad to have been recovering during the time family was off school and work but I am just going forward now

I officially start liquid diet , again, after lunch Christmas day, but I am pre starting now.

Thank you for checking on me.
