Surgery postponed

I got a call this morning from my surgeon's office saying my doctor had an emergency and my surgery was going to be postponed until next Tuesday the 11th. I was a little bit anxious waiting for today, but now I have to go ANOTHER week (my 3rd) on the liquid diet so I am freaking out and hungry as anything! I don't know how I'm gonna do this!

I am sorry to hear that, and I can understand how frustrated you must feel...I am not sure how I would have dealt with that if I were in your situation...I think we just do what we have to do, if you know what I mean...just spend a lot of time on here...everybody listens and supports me when I get down or frustrated, and I think it will help you, too, during this unexpected additional wait time

I was in my hotel room next to the hospital because my surgery was at 7 am. And I had taken the milk of magnesia. So I call to check in to the hospital and they said my surgery was postponed because the insurance hasn't agreed to the sleeve from the lap band. And I was on the toilet shouting at them. So they ended up rescheduling and I got my surgery on oct 31 three weeks later. Gave me more time to loose before the surgery. Things happen for a reason. Don't use this an excuse to eat! Just keep going with your head up.

I am not gonna let this give me an excuse to sabotage the surgery! This is my 2nd post on these forums and you guys have given me great support and guidance to help me get through. Thanks!

What a bummer but it will be alright, must be for a good reason. The preoperative diet was hard because we had the hunger, but it was so important to me to have a good successful and safe surgery so keep thinking in those terms and you will whip through this next week no problem.
