If I'm doing this wrong I'm sorry... I'm new here



Recommended Posts

... so I'm returning to this app after giving up on trying to add my birthday and age which I noticed from clicking random profiles... seem to be empty for a lot of people...

I don't really know if I have a "story yet".... I have a collection of completed appointments, more miles on my car, less cash than what I started with but tons of priceless knowledge and endless determination to press forward. In about 30 minutes it will be Christmas Eve and on Monday of this week I completed my last appointment and have not been able to reach the scheduler since. Perhaps she took off for the holidays. Would have been nice to get a date or just to know something. I left so many messages this week first waiting to hear back from her then from anyone... needless to say, there has not neither. That's the part I don't like... the not knowing... considering this was something she could have provided a date for.

My church will be fasting starting January 1st -21, so I am not concerned about the liquids part. But it would be great to get a date within or around that time. Would it happen that quickly? Considering today is The 23rd? Maybe I'm just looking for direction when I need to wait it out... huff puff... it's been a journey... I will make it, this I know.

They maybe on vacation but once everything is submitted and your insurance approve you they'll give you at date. I'm pretty new as well my first visit was nov.17th. And I have everything on this app filled out except my surgery date ???? I hope this helps a lil....

As far as the app it doesn't really give me an option to edit or anything... but maybe it's just something I'm not doing. I just figured out how to like a post and all today as well. Thanks for responding !

      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.
