Susan scares me.

I can't stand the "Holy than thou" crap and my way is the right way...Please tell it like it is.

I do like her Photoshop skills, but everytime I post (and it hasen't been that often lately) she finds something to add or pick apart.

my 2 cents

Yes I do love Leatha and Lisa, they have always been there for me with the truth, and it can hurt.

Susan and I disagreed once but geesh, does that make her scary?

She's an awesome POSITIVE motivator and I love that about her. She remains consistent, persistent about making the band work. Even now that you just trashed her visciously, called her a stalker a troll, compared her to an elephant in a derogatory way...........she rose, out of the flames with dignity. Phoenix is what you should call her. She's the bigger person here (integrity) I admire that.

For those of you that think the Moderators have a biased shame on you. WE do the best we can with what we have. We do not get paid we do this out of our own time away from our friends and families. It is a thankless job.

I will gladly give it up as some think you can do a better job. It isn't easy having to reprimand your friends all the time. It isn't easy calling a good friend and telling her to STOP this shit.

To those that keep posting comments and keep rehashing the same subject over and over what purpose does this serve?

As far as a moderator contributing to the troll talk I assume that was me. I wanted to make light of the whole subject and I guess that got lost on some. I don't consider myself part of any group, troll or sunshine sister or disgruntled failure at this point.

I am a struggling FAT woman trying to make her life better by dealing with more important issues than a bunch of women that can't even be civil to each other.

Sorry but that had to be said.

Everyone has their own opinions and you can either agree or disagree or agree to disagree.

This thread is NOW LOCKED.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
