Kind of down in the dumps



Recommended Posts

Hubby and I had a great talk and it turns out that we both weren't listening to each other last night. LOL Imagine that! :cool2: Today we sat down and listened to each other. Turns out he was just pointing out questions that I should be asking the doc so I can be more informed and I was telling him stuff we learned at the seminar. Some where in between us talking to each other we didn't hear each other. That is something we are going to have to work on so I can continue to rely on him for support and so he doesn't feel that I'm jumping into this blind.

I thank you all for your support today and hopefully my post will help others if they run into the same dilemma. Oh yeah...I did invite him to a seminar but I don't know if he really wants to go. He really didn't say anything attending but we'll see.

Great to hear. Sometimes (who am I kidding) I mean most of the time, us men are slow at accepting reality. I didn't even think we were really having a baby till we saw the ultra sound, then reality sunk in! Maybe it just took some time for it to sink in. But there's gonna be some big changes coming, I agree, communicating will be the key here.

      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.
