Okay so I saw my doctor day are you going to class and and had already previously done the 6 month diet and it was supervised so at the end of the day meeting with the doctor the coordinator comes in to tell me that's because I missed the month of March I would have to redo my 6 month thankfully I have kept up with my doctor for the last 2 so they said that could be put towards my 6 month but I still have to do another 4. the thing that pisses me off the most is the fact that I work so hard for the 6 month and sent so much money to help me lose weight and now I can't even use it because I miss a month due to the death of my mother is not right I feel like crying. Sorry I just wanted to vent I've been looking so forward to meeting the doctor and getting all this stuff ready so I can do this surgery and get healthy because I missed month now I have to wait even longer. thank you to anybody who is listening.

I know you're frustrated right now but just don't give up. Unfortunately there probably isn't anything you can do you will have to do the extra 4 months. But use the progress you've made so far as motivation. In the big picture four months is nothing compaed to a lifetime of health. Don't stress about it, its a setback but it doesn't mean you have to fail or give up!

Thank you Teresa. I'm not giving up. It just makes me upset that I spent all this time and money for nothing.

I'm so sorry about your loss of your mother. I'm sure that it is heartbreaking to have this delay on top of everything else. My surgeon's office told us over and over again about not missing 1 month or having to start over (obviously it was out of your control in this case). One thing they recommended was to make each appointment early in the month, so if you needed to reschedule, you could still do so within the same calendar month. That might be something to try just to make sure you get the 6 months in.

No I know its not the Doctor. I think the insurance should have something where if u miss a month then u have to do just one month not having to do the whole thing over.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
