Not sure I'm strong enough



Recommended Posts

Last week I finally scheduled my procedure for December 15th. This week my husband and I have started talking divorce. I'm not sure if I can handle both major life changes at the same time. Some times life really sucks!

I'm going through a divorce as well. I just filled 2 weeks ago. You can do it! I'm finding that my preparation for surgery and doing all the research I can has become a great distraction. Each day becomes easier than the last. I have post it notes all over my bathroom with positive affirmations which has helped a great deal. It is a reminder of why I left and how better my life is/will be!

I'm a great listener if you ever need anyone to talk to.

Yeah my situation was quite crazy too. But I feel so much better I just learned to let the stupid stuff roll away and I'm enjoying life I'm able to pay my bills and be a great dad to my little girl. Not going to let one person ruin all that. No matter what.

Also don't forget not only are you going to feel better. You'll be able to do more enjoy life more you'll be able to get into places you never thought about. And you'll feel like finding someone that cares about you more. I know with my weight I settled for someone who really didn't care about me and when you feel better you'll be able to find someone that cares about you not how you look but about the person you are. So just keep in mind that surgery will change your whole life not just your weight.

      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.
