OP delayed for 5 weeks... no help from doc office.. HELP?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone

I was supposed to be sleeved on last monday the 18. It was cancelled so I have a NSV to NOT have indulged in any food because of my emotional train wreck I had when I learned I had to wait ... 5 more weeks! 5!!!!

Anyways my only instruction is: eat healthy, avoid sugar / fat.

So really I am at a loss. But I will be careful still I feel like I am let loose without clear instruction.

I know how to eat well and whatever but still. I wish they can some example or whatever to help when they have such a situation.

Technical problem at one of their hospital, the surgeon office I go to have 3 places he can operate.

I seriously don't know what I will do. At least with the long liquid diet I am hardly hungry.

It takes me over an hour per meal I hope it will stay this way until surgery and that I don't get tempted with fat and sugar. I will focus on Protein but I feel abandoned by all of this.

Just stay focused. If there is a bariatric support group, go to it. And don't hesitate to reach out to your surgeon's office and tell them that you feel abandoned and ask for more specific advice and guidelines. Good luck. You've got this!

      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.
