I finally called the clinic

Hey girl, I'm so sorry you've had to go thru all of this in the last few days but glad you called the doctor and hopefully your feeling better by now. Have a blessed day!

Thanks, Cindy!    Hope your day has been a good one.

    Thank godness you called and are now gettig better. As a severe diabetic my pre-op fast included protein, it also included yoghurt,sugar free pudding, jello etc. It is so hard under the best of conditions, I had to take clients out to meals during my diet and that was rough.
     If you like sushi remember raw tuna is pure protein and helped me thru the liquid diet. You are so brave and this is the worst part of the journey, also to do it before Turkey Day. I could never do that , I waited to february to get my one last holiday season of eatting, of course now I realize that I was nuts to do that and I lead a normal life, there was no need to have stuffed myslef like a fatted goose BAH.
     Head up you are a strong beautiful woman

I am so glad you made it through your pre-op diet under your cir****tances! 

I know with my weight problem it sounds strange for me to say that holidays, parties, etc. really don't revolve around food for me, but they don't.  I never even thought about not having the surgery done during this time of year until people started mentioning it.  Even then, it hasn't phased me at all...I'm ready regardless!  

My head is up!  Thanks so much...from one strong beautiful woman to another! 

Shauna - I'm so horrified to finally be logging on here after a loooong time away to find out that you have had trouble with your pre-op diet.  Being diabetic myself, I know how awful the hypoglycemic episodes can make you feel.

I may not have been on here but I have been thinking of you alot and wondering what I can do to help you and your family around your operation, please?  You know I'm right down the road, so tell me what kind of support I can offer, PLEASE?

Warmly,
Diane

Shauna,

I am glad you were able to add some stuff to your diet to help you get past the shakes. I have been having that the last couple of weeks from my bp being low. My pcp is changing it almost daily, I am down to 1 script from 3 and that one has been cut in half. You are in no way a failure. You have started on this journey and that is a great choice. As my doctor and a few people here have told everyone is different and handles this process before and after differently the someone else. You know the trouble I have had trying to get my water and protein in. Hopefully your troubles are now and not after you surgery.

Good luck on Friday, I can not believe your day is almost here!!

Hugs Jeff

Jeff,  I hope you get your BP stabilized permanantly very soon.  That's got to be the pits also.  How is your water and protein intake coming along?  That too should get better with time, at least I should hope!  My wish is that I endure this bump pre-op and then have none to worry about afterwards...haha!  Thanks for your sweet sentiments and your good luck wishes...I appreciate them!  Hugs!

Shauna,

I am so happy to hear that you called the clinic and got all that straightened out so that you can be ready for surgery.  I hope you are feeling better now.

Thanks so much, Vera.  I'm glad I called too.  I'm feeling better, just not BETTER!  lol  Friday can't come soon enough...but it will be here soon!  How's your mom hanging in there?  Didn't she have a scan done today?  I've been thinking of her.

Shauna,  she is not going to have the scan until the 25th.  They could not get it set up for today.  Will post when I know more.
