Further to this. Action is being taken by the moderators and I consider my involvement with this thread closed.

My thanks to the moderators.

I too agree though that the rebuke ought to be public so that everybody knows that person has been addressed. Even a statement such as "this matter has been dealth with privately".

In any other forum I have ever been a part of, neanderthal behaviour such as that would mean the person was banned from the site. End of story.

It must be such a hard job and you've come under some unfair fire over the past week or two, I'd like to say that I appreciate that you're giving of your time and are doing the best you can.

All three threads being discussed here have been deleted. Can we stop talking about it now?

And Dody, the moderators are constrained by rules just like everyone else. It takes TWO mods to decide a thread should be deleted. Any individual mod is not empowered to just delete a thread. Leaving one there does not mean a decision has been made to leave it, just that we haven't had a chance to discuss it yet.

Please don't accuse us of playing favorites. That simply is not what is going on.

Can we still use "foul language" if we want? (as long as it's not attacking another peson?)

I'm only asking because though I rarely use it in a post I've read one or two really funny ones that just wouldn't be the same with fake cus words (Example: StewartS's PB post was just great)

Adult language isn't against the rules, per se, but do try to keep it rare. We try to be family-friendly. :biggrin1:

      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.
