4 days before surgery and they cancel



Recommended Posts

Been in this liquid first the last two weeks, been mentally and physically preparing for this surgery and I get a call yesterday to cancel because my surgeon has some emergency clinic. Try to reschedule me for another two weeks out but I said fuck that. I won't do another 2 weeks out. I have my shifts all worked out to be covered I hate this fucking diet and they think it's just a simple reschedule. I may loose my job because of this now and I've definitely already lost my sanity. I feel so discouraged I'm begging the Dr to put me in this week.

Wow. I am so sorry to hear that. I hope and pray you get a call saying that you can come in and that they have your doctor other location covered. Just try to be positive but I do understand your frustration and know it's hard to be positive during times like this. Praying for you [emoji120]?[emoji120]?[emoji120]?[emoji120]?[emoji120]?

I know you are frustrated, but this may be showing some issues that may arise after surgery if you are slow to get your energy back or have complications. Definitely come up with some contingency plans!

Oh gosh... prayers sent for a quick solution. That's horrible! I know that I couldn't just reschedule at the drop of a dime... don't they have a back up Dr who can step in?

      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.
