My Struggle Continues...



Recommended Posts

After a year I finally got my intial visit with the Surgeon. I can't believe how hard and tendious it was just to get qualified to talk. My appointment is for next tuesday and I'm very anxious, but ready to see him. I thought a second poem would be fitting for such an occassion. It's called...

THE WAIT

I waited all my life for things to happen...

for my mom to give birth to me, so I could see what this world was really like.

for my sister to stop reminding me of how fat I've become, and how miserable my life would be.

I waited for that one guy to love me and be proud to be seen with me.

I waited for the encouraging talks from co-workers, but got laughs behind my back.

I waited for my doctor to talk to me about my weight, but all I got was more and more medication perscriptions and a request for monthly visists.

I waited for my heart to stop one day, because the fat had finally surrounded it, and then I cried.

Because, at that very time I realized that I had waited almost too long.

I can't wait any longer, the time is now, I have to react or my coffin will be waiting to be lowered into the ground.

Wake Up and Realize that the Wait Has to End Someday.

Why not make it today. Love yourself, take care of yourself, and believe in yourself, because you were worth the wait.

      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.
