Actually disappointed is an understatement!

was supposed to have my surgery today, but the a/c in the surgical facility stopped working by the time I was to have my procedure, so I was cancelled. I dont have a date now. The doctors told me it MIGHT be next week Sunday, but this isnt guaranteed because they have to find a time to squeeze me in now. They wont know until tomorrow.

This means I have to go to work tomorrow. This means explaining to everyone why I am back in the office. This means rescheduling for the time off again AND I have to stay on the liquid diet until this is sorted out.

I was so upset. I just wanted to say F it and not go thru with it at all. I didnt, but this additional extra time is frustrating.

Hang in there! This is about you and your health. Do what you need to move forward. I understand being frustrated. Think how good it will feel when this part is over. Good luck to you and it will get better!

Ugh! How frustrating! I am so sorry! BTW, I didn't realize there were doctors that did surgery on Sundays.... Fingers crossed they get it sorted for you first thing tomorrow!

I am sorry to hear about the delay, but who knows maybe there is a reason why it is was delayed. Maybe it's in God's divine plan, that you wait a little longer. Hopefully, they will be able to reschedule you soon, and you will be able to get the time off that you need. I pray that the next scheduled surgery is at a convenient time for you, that the facility is fully operational and functioning properly, including the a/c (trust me you don't want to be hot and miserable in the hospital). I pray that the procedure goes well. Wish you the best!

@@Jasminkw I know you must be disappointed but all things work together for the good. Mine is 8/31/16 and I am already dreading the preopdiet. Good luck and hang in there. We have come too far!

      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.
