I am so very depressed about my surgery being postponed due to my dr. becoming ill. I hope getting my new date, hopfully tomorrow, will make me feel better. I have been crying all afternoon on and off. I think it really took a mental toll on me.:cry

Wish I could help you. I would talk you into taking a short slow walk with me. I would take you to the local library and we could look at magazines together.

Sometimes our life tests us.

I postponed my surgery so I could go on vacation. I didn't want to be banded on vacation. I wish now I would have gone ahead with it.

I didn't know any better.

Best wishes for a quick date,

edie

I am so sorry to hear about your surgery being rescheduled. I know how you feel. You have prepared yourself in so many ways. I know this must be devistating for you, I almost had to reschedule mine, down to the Tuesday before my Friday surgery. I cried and cried. Let it out. Just know that this is not the end, you can and will be able to go through with it. Time is your enemy now, but it won't be for long. God bless and hang in there! I will be thinking about you! let us know how you are doing!

Hi Deb,

I'm very sorry that this has happened, but at least your Dr. didn't try to preform surgery on you while being sick and let you know this ahead of time. Sometimes God has his way of helping us out of troubled situations at the time but we don't realize it until later.

If your Dr. had tried to do the surgery and did something wrong, it could of been devestating for you. So think of it in this way, and I don't want it to sound badly, but at least if if you are a bit down now, at least you're here, alive and well, and just waiting on another "birthday". At least you won't have to wait a whole year like the other one!!!

I too had my surgery postponed. I was scheduled for 6/27/07, but my Dr. is going to be out of town, so now I have to wait 5 more days.

I know when 6/27 comes and goes I will be feeling down also, but I try to look at it this way. I now have 5 more days to educate myself on the band, and 5 more days to eat whatever I want, and 5 more days to appreciate the opportunity to have this surgey in the first place.

This is what will make those 5 days fly by so fast that the surgery will be there before I know it.

Keep your head up, and take a deep breath. You know all good things are worth the wait!!!!!!!

Lynette

      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.
