Day 2 Liquid diet - Rant
Well today is the second day of my pre-op liquid diet. I felt like I did ok yesterday until I really started thinking about all I ate. Today I will be tracking what I am eating to get a real idea of how I did yesterday. I have a feeling that I am going to be surprised about how I really did. Already feeling the sadness of not being able to eat, which obviously is where I get a lot of my happiness. To make matters worse, I am still waiting on approval from insurance. But had to start my diet in the event I am approved due to my surgery date already being scheduled. Not trying to just rant but I needed to tell someone and you guys are my support! Should hear today of tomorrow if I have been approved. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
I completely understand how you feel. I am still going through my 6mth weigh management program and wont be finished until Oct. So I know what your going through but to give your self some kind of relief, find out who your bariatric coordinator is with your insurance and give them a call to get a follow up on your approval status. I have actually already gotten my coordinators name and ext so when its that time I can start calling
))) try not to worry you will be approved.

Just think of it like this- it isn't going to last forever- whatever it is you are going through isn't going to last FOREVER- and let me tell you- I was sleeved on the 15th of June so I'm not a vet, but I can tell you so far the reward at the end of the tunnel is there- It's a very liberating feeling so hang in there- light is at the end of the tunnel!!!!! YOU CAN DO THIS! One day at a time! Rome wasn't built in a day and neither are we!!!! Take care.

Good job on day 2! Keep your chin up! You will mourn food for awhile, but it gets better.
I also suggest a therapist or counselor to help you through the loss of a food as a friend. I started therapy shortly after surgery and am still going. My only regret is not starting therapy for food issues sooner!!
