Waiting for Insurance approval, CPAP, preop diet

[jenbaby75 283]

Hey all! There is so much running through my head. All of my info has been submitted to insurance, so I am waiting approval. The surgeon's office said I could be sleeved as rarly as 2 weeks! Eek! My biggest concerns are this, CPAP, I had to get one, though the doc said I do not actually have obstructive apnea, I do have periods where my oxygen drops some. My biggest issue is, I have 12 month old baby, that sleeps in our room, as out oldest needed to move home, and has the baby room. Over the past 2 months he has had croup, teething..my nights have been hectic. I get maybe, 30-40 min on the machine, and that is it. I cannot be the only one who had issues with this. The next issue I am having is starting a low carb diet. I want to, then I get distracted. I have not been instructed to start yet, but I need to lose 15 pounds. Totally doable on a low carb diet, why am I having such a hard time with this? I am discouraged, both with the cpap, and the lack of follow through with diet.

I am about two months out from my sleeve surgery. I have moderate sleep Apnea, am a single mom of 3 (ages 7, 14, and 18), and have a lot of trouble getting in enough time on my CPAP machine. My 7 year old is in a phase of not wanting to go to bed on time. I'm not in your exact situation, but I do understand. I'm proud of your decision to better your health through sleeve surgery.

I handle life with prayer. I'll be praying for you.

Ive been on CPAP..I know how intimidating it can be wearing this mask etc...tolerate it as even if you get an hour or so..its all registered on the SD card..I had this problem last month..sometimes notcwearing it as ive fallen asleep on sofa...or put mask on..couldnt sleep..turned it off..it can be bloody annoying! But no matter how much youre using this machine...it does help. Why not just go on a milk diet? Wuth home made low carb smoothies? ...wirh me its all or nothing....id rather just follow a all luquid diet..but if needs be..a peice of fruit if I yearn to chew.
