It's none of her business where you spend the money. SHE said you have to promise ME, the BANK didn't say you have to promise any such thing. Huh, promise??? A personal loan, is a personal loan. What you do with it is YOUR business.

Umm...legally, she can't do that. I work at a bank, and I'd be fired if I ever told someone they couldn't do something with their own money! My goodness! That's unethical!

I understand that she can't say that really but we live in a small town and she could easly just say no. so any input on us doctors would be helpful.

That's just unbelievable! Who does she think she is?? Is this the loan officer, bank president, what? Either way it doesn't matter. If it's a personal loan, that's just what it is "personal" they have no right to ask you what you will be doing with the money. You just need to qualify for the loan. Tell her the only thing you're going to promise is to spend the money wisely investing in your healthy future. No, really it's none of her business! This makes me so mad people who bully others and that's just what she is - a bully.

"Specials" make me shudder. In any event, I suggest you open a new thread and ask that question. . Having said that, please don't pick someone based on price or the opinion of strangers on this website alone. Research, research , research. Best of luck!

      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.
