frustrated and ...anxious?



Recommended Posts

Just needing to vent a lil I guess...have my 1st seminar (mandatory) appt january 19th, but am anxious to get process started. Getting more and more disgusted with myself..have pretty much been so self conscious about being naked in front of hubby forever..finally am not worrying about it because I know I'm going thru with this and am going to feel better about me whether its 10 or 100 lbs I lose. But am growing increasingly disgusted loking at myself and the fat ass legs and am so frustrated!! I'm sure someone out here feels this way...needing some words of encouragement or ??? Ugh I don't know..lol

Oceansunset,

I feel your pain!:willy_nilly: My seminar is not till January 23, and I am losing my mind. I want so much to be on the road to a new me. But I have to remind myself that in my thinking I am on the road. I've become more aware of the choices I make in food. And I have been talking to people about my decision to have the lap band. I never used to talk about my weight---if I talked about it somebody might think I was fat!!:unsure: Oh wait, they can probably tell by looking at me.LOL Anyway, I know what you mean about being anxious to get started. Hang in there. The 19th will be here before you know it.

      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.
