Discouraged and Need to Vent



Recommended Posts

Sorry, but I just need to vent. I'm 5 weeks post op and was scheduled to have my first fill Tuesday. I've been at a weight lost of only 9.5 lbs since surgery. I've been walking everyday for 30 minutes because that's all I'm allowed at this time. I actually did it twice in one day and still no weight loss. I've been at this weight for probably 2 weeks.

Tuesday, when I was scheduled for my fill, I got a call that they had emergency surgery and needed to reschedule and it would probably be next week since it had to be scheduled by the doctors PA and had to be done in the hospital. I understand and said no problem. Okay, I called Wednesday and was told that the PA was unavailable and would call. Okay, it's now Thursday and still no phone call to reschedule. I felt like a pest but I called again and asked if she was available and of course they were in surgery all day today. I told the receptionist well I figured that since my surgery was done on a Thursday, and usually the PA doesn't work on Fridays. She said that she would leave her a message and she would get back to me. Sure, they promise you they will be there for you, but that's not the case.

I would like to get things moving and feel very discouraged because I want to see movement on my weight. People keep asking well how much have you lost and it's still the same. I know I seem very impatient, but when you work out and eat less and still no result. I feel like a failure.:thumbdown:

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
