    Default I'm extremely disappointed, I had to postpone my surgery.

    I'm extremely disappointed, I had to postpone my surgery. I guess it just wasn't my time.

    Earlier today I was questioning wether or not to postpone my surgery that was scheduled for tomorrow because I have a cold but then decided to go ahead with it knowing my recovery would be a little tougher but was going to tough it out.

    Later in the day I got a call from my Dr's office they didn't have all the clearances from tests I had done yet so I had to put off my surgery.

    I am extremely disappointed and was even down right mad after fasting on a liquid diet and preparing for every detail to have it all dashed in one phone call. So I did something stupid and went straight out for Chinese food, I got a couple of my favorites. I eat about 1/4 of what I would normally eat, I just got too full.

    I think I got it out of my system and I'm ready to get back on track. I'll go back to 2 protein drinks and one lean and green meal per day for the next week then do the 2 week liquid fast again.

    One thing I think is pretty cool is my surgery date is Feb 29th. that only comes around every 4 years.

    I believe things happen for a reason, you just weren't meant to have it yet. Maybe a crisis was averted with your cold. Don't sweat the food, it happened move forward. That is one pretty cool surgery date!!

    Congratulations on your new date and surviving this bump in the road without eating one of everything that you've missed way to go on the will power. Good luck on your upcoming surgery

    Just a delay, and yes, a cool surgiversary! Lots of Vit C and rest up. And heck, I'd have gone out for Chinese, too

    Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.

    Well I know that had to be disappointing but at least it is just a postponement and not worst. You will be fine and these next couple of weeks will be over before you know it.

    It's okay! It will be here before you know it! Take lots of vitamin C. I did that for several weeks before my surgery and everyone around me was sick but I never even got one sniffle!

    Hope you feel better. Rest up and before you know it, it's time for your surgery. Hang in there, always stay positive like you always are in your messages.
