Bitching and Moaning and Stomping my feet...Little bit of a Rant.



Recommended Posts

Man, that sucks, LovableLynn. I had my first one four weeks after surgery, 2nd two weeks after that, then 3 weeks later for the third, and another 4 weeks to the fourth. I haven't had a single problem or overfill. There's just no reason for your doctor to be so stingy with fills. It's just sadistic, in my view. You are so excited to have the surgery, then BAM! The initial swelling subsides, and you're hungry again. I'm so sorry that you're having to basically do this on your own. Restriction is a wonderful thing. You will get it eventually. Just lay down and throw a fit in your doctor's office and insist that he get with the program and get you the help that you paid for!

Omigosh, Ready! I was so depressed over all my bad news yesterday, but now I'm holding my sides laughing! I loved your post! I am 5'2" tall and have longed to be 5'5" all my adult life. You are a talented comedian and have brought joy to my day. I hope your struggles will become easier, but I also hope you will keep writing. BTW, I used to be like your workmate -- 100 lbs and couldn't gain a pound if it chased me around the room -- and could never fully understand the plight of my friends who just could not seem to lose weight. Now I understand -- boy do I ever understand!

Linda13 is correct. You are a talented comedian, ReadySteady. Perhaps your should take your sarcastic witt to Vegas! "Perils and Joys of a Bandster!" That's a show I would pay big bucks to see!

Anyway your doctor could move up your appointment? I know the point you're at, I stuggled through mine for two weeks even though I knew I could just call the office and move the appointment. Now they scheduled me for 4 weeks cause I didn't call in on my own. They didn't know I learned my lesson fast this time. Heck, I'm almost tempted to move this one up if I keep on being hungry. It's not bad but it's no way to be. Give em a call, see what they say. Let em know you're ready to chew the leather off the couch. :confused_smile:

      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.
