Recommended Posts

This just came this morning. Has anyone else received one? I can't believe this crap comes through this site. Is there NO place we're safe from this sh-it?!

I am Mr. Alain Champeaux a Texas, San Antonio, American Citizen but presently in Ghana, working with TOTAL OIL COMPANY in conjunction with Ghana National Petroleum Cooperation (GNPC) at the moment, I have a very big transaction, which I will like to discuss with you. or email me @ (a_champeaux@hotmail.com)

Thanks

Mr. Alain Champeaux

Yea, that's the same one I just received. I reported it, I don't know if that can stop it though. Such a pain.

Steph - how do you report it?

If they contacted you like me through private messaging. In the corner down where it says "like this" is a button that says report, you have to put your curser by it or you can barely see it. Otherwise you can PM Alex and give him the info you got in the message ie, email addy, name, stuff like that.

We have pretty sophisticated spam software that catches 99% of these guys before they get started. Some do fall through the crack and they're a big pain in the neck to deal with. The only way to root them out, is by having our members REPORT them. We review every single report we receive, daily. Thanks to everyone for assisting!

      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.
