Start Preop diet today but my pug died yest



Recommended Posts

I am feeling very sad and depressed at this time. I would have pictured starting my preop diet as a time of being elated with happiness. However, my pug puppy for 9 months had to be put down due to congenital heart disease he was born with. That was not found out of until yest as i pleaded to convice the vet there was something wrong with my dog. I went ahead and started my diet but i am feel very depressed upset and sad. I know this was the best for cujo.

Thank you for listening

I am soooo sorry about your pup! I too am a pug owner and Belle is my companion, buddy and constant companion. I can imagine all to easily how hard this is for you. It's really hard now, I know. I can only hope that each day gets a little easier. You will always remember your pup and how much you loved your "baby" and with time, I hope that the memories are no longer tinged with sadness.

oh bella, i am so sorry for your loss! my heart goes out to you. I know its devistating to lose a pet, they are part of the family. Do your best on your preop diet and allow yourself to feel all the feelings u have, if u need to talk feel free to drop me a line.

Oh gosh, as a pet lover I can sympathize with you there!!!! That would be very depressing. I commend you on going ahead with your pre op diet.....you will be the better for it while starting under such a big issue the end will be very rewarding. I am still waiting on insurance approval but they do not see a problem so I will probably be right behind you soon. Our 16 year old cat died Christmas day last year... Hang in there and do this for you and just a suggestion here but maybe you could start a "memory album" right away and restore some good memories. It may help....

Oh that is awful, I am so sorry. I know they are like children and it is really hard, just allow yourself to go through the grieving process. It will be fine and you can do this! My prayers are with you. If you ever need support, please know we are here to support you.

I am so sorry. I know what it is like to lose my dog also. She was a fawn and black pug named Pugeta. She was my baby. That was 5 years ago and still to this day I have not gotten another pug. It would just be to painfull. I hope all gets better for and that you find this time in your life pleasent, even with the sadness. Jennifer

This is just terrible. Why is it when one thing goes right in life another goes wrong? I have two Boston Terriers. (I love smooshie faced piggy dogs.) Good luck to you with your surgery.

oh my word I am so heartbroken for you! I am so sorry! I am such a crazy animal lover and I would be beside myself if I were you. Hang in there, you are feeling bad now but I think you might end up feeling worse if you don't follow through with the pre op diet! I know it is the hardest thing to hear/do but from my experience I mourn the loss of my animal for far too long if I don't get another right away. Something to think about! You are in my thoughts!

      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.
