Pen-pal anyone????



Recommended Posts

I vote for option C (but whatever is easiest is best) I think that the international penpals might want to stay with someone closer to them for price on postage and stuff.

I also think there needs to be a BIG disclaimer that people should really think about the committment they are making. As seen in some of the secret gift exchanges, some people have dropped the ball. I think that someone should be ABSOLUTELY sure they want to dedicate themselves to this type of program before they sign up.

hehe, well i went ahead for option A, I didn't want to make any bad matches and be blamed for it. I made a list and started another thread with the names and info, so far I have gotten a good response. We will see where it goes to.

      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.
