Hey everyone! I am feeling much better today! Just trying to get used to this funny gurgling that happens every time I drink something! I haven't had to much trouble keeping anything down or getting in my Water yet. I know I said I would post a video, but I can't seem to find the time! Trish got me a pedicure yesterday and today I am going to Rosarito and Ensenada to walk around the markets. :)

Thanks everyone for all the support!

How do you follow people? I've wondered how to do this. I'm fairly new to this site. Sleeved on the 13th.

You make a profile on youtube and subscribe to them. When you are on their page at the top left side hit the subscribe button. You will get updates on their new videos. They are very helpful and gives you a personal experience you wouldn't normally get I think.

Once I click on the picture, do I choose, follow posts by this user? Is that how you keep up with other people? I do not see an option for a friend request.

Everyone's page you go to should have three buttons across the top: Add as friend, Send me a Message, and Find Content. The find content button will show you everything they've commented on. These are really the only buttons I've used to follow anyone. There could be another I'm missing...

I do not have these buttons. Why? Do I need to be a paying member to have this feature?

Weird! NO, you don't have to pay! I'm not sure why you don't see them. Ask one of the moderators maybe?

It's ok- there's a list of them if you go up top to the Forum button and hover over it, and click on "Forums Home." Once you're there, scroll AAALLLL the way down to the bottom and you'll see some teeny tiny words and one of them will say "Moderating Team." click on that, and it should show all the people who know more about this website than I do. :lol:

      🥳 Jan 1 2025 - Day 1 of Pre Op, surgery on the 16th! 😬😅

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
