Is there any hope?

When someone makes a heart wrenching decision like suicide, it is THEIR decision. I know it's easier said than done, but the weight of his actions should not lie on your shoulders. You had this surgery for you, and now is the time to fulfill the advantages of that surgery.

You do not need anyone but you to make this right. If you are determined, you can succeed.

Five years later, I know.

It isn't easy now, but it was impossible for me to accept then.

I was just looking for a wee bit of support and understanding. I guess those are difficult items to give.

I read both posts as the before and after your discovering his suicide. My heart aches for you (and him, too).

No, not everyone is capable of providing the support you need, but some are. Even though he was not in a position to do so, there are many others (friends, family, and even strangers on the Internet) can.

How are you doing this week by the way?

Thank you for trying to understand. If I understood his suicide and my reaction to it, I wouldn't have needed the 4 1/2yrs of therapy.

Thank you again.

This week, well since Jan 12th, I've lost 11 pounds. I've gone back to a Protein shake for Breakfast, greed yogurt for lunch and an "allowable" dinner with a green salad topped with nutritional yeast.

I am having trouble drinking enough. I've never been a big Fluid consumer, but I'm working at it.

I am going three times a week for aqua therapy for my back since spinal fusion. After that I will join the pool.

Thank you again, for asking about my progress. It means a great deal to me.

I am so very sorry for your loss and trauma. God bless you. I have no words for what you've been through, but I hope you can take care of yourself now and find peace.

PRAYER IS THE KEY!!!! God loves you and never will leave you....stop blaming yourself for something that was obviously out of your control. I'm sorry for your loss and all you have be through, but put your trust and faith in the Lord!!!! You can do this, claim it and daily speak positive words in your life, you are worth this fight!!!

      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.
