Recommended Posts

Things are going so well lately.Financially we are just peeking our heads above the Water that has been drowing us for the past 6 years, my husband and i came very close to separating last year and decided to TRY hard to make it work and we are now more in love than ever.I have taken control of my health and following through with actions ex.started physio for my back so i can learn to exercise without pain.Having a consultation with a cardiovascular clinic doctor about my diet and quit smoking.I am setting goals and reaching for them all.

The problem...?

I am happy but feel this overwhelming sense that all my cards will blow over and the house will fall! Does this make sense? Why can't i just expect good things to happen to me?I don't question it when they go bad.That's normal!!

Any ideas how to overcome this??

Hi C :P

Congratulations on all your committment, I really admire you.

I can understand your sense of failing, I feel the same way. I posted the other day about wanting the band so badly but at the same time I feel like I"m going to fail or I'm going to get rejected w/my insurance. I guess b/c we work so hard at things, more so than others that when failure comes, we kind of expect it. I don't know what to tell you except to try to keep your thoughts positive. We do deserve good things, we really do.

Your stats look GREAT !!! WTG :D

      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.
