How Do i get my act together?



Recommended Posts

Hi, need help and a another opnion- . I have been seeing the psychologist, have done all the evals, the paperwork is now with the ins co, as of 9/30/08. Fine, but 10/3/08 , the psychologist said they have to send a letter to the surgeon ok'ing me before the surgery will be scheduled. Then I am told- i am too stressed and dis-organized at this time. Of course i am stressed. Of course i need to make changes; but i have to start with me. BUT, am I soo Disorganized? :)

My husband is in worse shape than I but won't do anything about it. without going nto details- Life at home sucks

My job kept me on the road for 30+ years until a year ago. (Politics and finally going all on line). The road trips were getting a bit much and ddn't help my eating. But now I might as well be invisible. My job is boring, draining, and may be eliminated. :)

My siblings are still in touch, except for my only sister, She hasn't spoken to me since our mother's passing. She wanted to control how the estate was handled, and carried on saying she was having a hard time because her mother had died. I sided with my brother who in charge of the estate and told her to get a grip- we all did. Somehow I have portrayed her as the evil sibling (?) i did apologize but she still won't respond. :sad:

I've had health problems and injuries like many of you . conducive to a rote schedule. Many, but not all Household chores get mostly done.(i.e.haven't been able to weed all summer due to Asthma)and the house needas a good cleaning. Something/ anything will throw plans off. :tongue2:

i did join a sports club with conducive hours and activivites. Fine but My back and neck started hurtng enough to put me on prescription pain pills after this Wednedsay. Wanted to walk upright without prescription drugs so am holding off until tomorrow. Am I soo Disorganized?

That's weird. I was totally stressed and no one said Boo to me about it.

What does your surgeon say about the whole thing?

MacMadame,

I haven't heard from him. His office responds to my calls but he won't be in contact until the insurance Co. decides. Right now I am really trying. But if i could stick to a diet now, chew 20 X, omit carbs, use a baby spoon, and leave half my servings, wouldn't need the surgery. i am just tired of getting jerked around. :tt1:

      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.
