Reschelduled surgery again!!

I am 2 weeks and 2 days in my liquid protein diet. My first date was suppose to be 7-6-11., then 7-13-11, now my nurse calls me and says "the doctor" pushed it back to 7-20-11. ! Are u kidding me? And of course I am suppose to stay on this diet. I feel like crying... I have been on this journey for damn near 3 yrs. The first doctor was de-barred for practicing due to drug and alcohol use during surgery. I know everything happens for a reason, but DAMN! I have not had the surgery yet, and im HUNGRY! Just rant and raving. Thank you for reading! Leigh

Daaannnggg it. What a pain in the butt. I know it is frustrating but hang in there. The waiting is worth it. 2 weeks is nothing compared to 3 years.

Please find another sergeon. If he was de-barred for practicing due to drug and alcohol, do you really want to put your life in his hands. Things do happen for a reason. I know that you are ready to go with this. If you decide to use this doctor make sure to meet with him and discuss all your concerns.  Hang in there, your time will come.

its not the same surgeon.. She was speaking about her initial surgeon...

I would rant and rave too!  Is there nothing that you can do?  What is their reason for moving your surgery date 3 times?

@ kimhealth, I dont think its the same doc, that doc was de-barred meaning he can not practice anymore...well atleast for now. I would be livid..but honestly I would eat heatlhy now and start the pre op diet 7 days before surgery...they want to see you lose a little before surgery and shrink your liver and honestly that can be done in two days ,based on what my surgeon required? But I would definitely eat healthy this week and start the diet closer to surgery date.

If this surgeon was de-barred due to drug/alcohol use during surgery I would be looking for another surgeon.  The constand rescheduling seems strange....I would look elsewhere, he is rescheduling for a reason and it may not be in your best interests to stay with him. 

Since you have to wait almost a couple weeks to see him.....why not add solid protein/veg into your diet to help keep you sane?  Just try the old "Slim Fast" diet...healthy shake for breakfast, one for lunch and a healthy light dinner? 

I am very sorry to confuse anyone! It is another well respected Dr. I really think the N.P. is the one being or making sure im doing right... I woke up this morning really depressed, but my 15 yr old came home after being gone 5 weeks. From me weighing at my last appt. I was 282 now im at 271!!!!That's 11 pd My mom also out of know-where sent me a card about recovery. She's right, this is like rehab for eaters anonymous. That made me even stronger. I have thought about a lil fish or chicken, but ehhhh???? .
