So I didn't tell my soon to be ex-husband that i am having this surgery. He just called and said that his unit (he is in the coast guard) will be stationed in my area around 10/26 and will be here for 2 weeks. At which time, he wants me to drive my daughter to him few days a week so he can see her..Well, my surgery is on 10/27. Crap.

I still don't want to tell him and never will tell him because he just sucks...but i don't want to keep my daughter from seeing him while he is here either. and he has no way of getting to me either.

so do i just tell him that I am sick that week and can't drive her? grr.

ideas please! :thumbup:

Hi,

I wouldn't tell him anything.. I would just tell him the days that you can bring her to see him. You should be fine to drive her within a couple of days from surgery. I know I was fine to drive the next day if I wanted to. You could tell him that you are having "female related" surgery, that always works with guys.. he doesn' t need to know the details!

Worst case maybe for the first visit someone else can drive your daughter? Just a thought...

I am sure it bugs you that you had your schedule all figured out and a wrench is thrown into it! It will work out though...

Thank you for that! You are right - I should just tell him when i can do it and not when he wants to do it. He has this habit of doing things when its convinient for him but because of my daughter I try to do whatever benefits her ..not him.

As long as i am ok to take her out on Haloween - I will be ok. I can make him wait till then :thumbup:

Thanks!!!!

      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.
