OK just saw this post. The fact that this message board is non-demoninational and non-judgmental is the very reason I come and visit and am a moderator.

As a moderator, I humbly request that any comments on ones religious beliefs should not be addressed on this board. Please re-read the guidelines that we all agreed to when we became members. We will show respect to other members whether we agree with their comments or not.

I think Kathy (thebestme) said it best in her first paragraph.

Zan - Carnie gained about 70 lbs with child and has lost 30 of them. She is 40 lbs off her lowest but in comparison to what it used to be, I say well done!

I hope for your sake that God guides the hand of the surgeon that operates on you because I wish you nothing but the best. The fact that you sign your posts "the friendly neighborhood atheist" is bound to grate on someone that believes in God.

I'm sorry to hear you have no one to pray too. I find that extremely sad for you.

And so she said.........I'm not touching this topic again. I wish you well.

It doesn't bother me how Sue signs her posts. And I've been a devout Christian for oh, 24 years.

Since we are discussing what we get tired of-I get tired of Christians who act unChristlike and make us all look so judgmental and intolerant. No wonder so many people are turned off when they hear the word Christian.

And for anyone who is out to convert (and trust me, I'm NOT), lack of compassion, patronizing talk and put-downs do more to damage "our" cause than someone signing one post as an atheist.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
