I am sure they want us to see all those ads even though we find them completely annoying.

I know people put a lot of work into setting up and maintaining this forum, I don't begrudge them making some money from ads, but this forum and its adds are just plain ugly and distracting now. Repeating the same add over and over all over the place looks trashy. I actually don't mind seeing how much Drs charge for the sleeve and other surgeries, but the plastering of adds, and the sick color combinations is too much. If there was someplace else to get the great comradeship and information as here, I would go. I'm sure I am not alone there.... The heart of this place is the people, and consideration of them will get MORE people to stick around once they get here...

I agree -- I was coasting on not "refreshing" the forum so I could maintain the IP format, but a couple of days ago it automatically became the ad-ridden horrible colored format it is. I really wish they would consider a different way to put the ads in -- sigh.

      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.
