Oh to deal with postponement

[Teajayteejay 10]

One year of preparing, jumping through loopholes my surgery date was set fire Jan 3rd. I had already started pre diet. Received a call yesterday telling me mine surgeon wasn't going to be available for the surgery. Therefore, they needed to postpone with no date set up for surgery. My mind was mentally in the game, ready and pumped. Now this. Any suggestions on how I can deal with this? I'm deflated and want to eat everything in site. HELP. How to deal?

Similar thing happened to me. However it was due to an infection that had to be treated prior to surgery. I had completed a week and a half of pre-op diet. Lost 15 pounds. Was totally pumped and ready. Family ready job ready kids ready etc. it totally bummed me out. Dr. suggested I go back to eating I'll be at healthier because of the medication regimen required. Still don't have a new date for surgery. I'll find out after the new year. Was supposed to be sleeved on December 17. Really messed with my head. I've kept my sugar intake down. But have been eating

No choice but to deal with set back. Try to make a plan on how you will eat before you start so you don't totally slip back to your old patterns. Keep as much of the pre op diet intact if you can. Hang in there and keep me updated.

Thank you ladies for your story and comments. My plan was to go ahead, stay on the pre Op Diet so when they say go I'm ready. Just want my head in the right spot and not sure how to get back there. Good thing is I'm stubborn enough I'll make it work. Thank you again.

I was scheduled after

Thanksgiving....all psych'd up and half way through the liquid diet. I got a sinus infection and the Dr gave me a steroid shot. My surgeon cancelled my surgery because of the steroid shot and now delayed till Jan 10

I think they owe you a more difinitive explanation why and why they can't reschedule with a date so you can have the motivation to stay on course. What if your surgeon left the practice etc, you may need to be regroup and start looking for a new surgeon.
