Did u see the topic just for men? Maybe that's where they are. I appreciate your comments often though.

To start with, only 20 percent of all sleevers are men. We're out here jimmie. We're just outnumbered.

My hubby is sleeved but has neither the time nor the desire to join a message board! I've tried, but it's not his thing. <_<

So I just wanted to tell you that there ARE men sleevers out there, but typically the men just are NOT as chatty as the women.

Here. I left a post about being the only guy at the bariatric center. I thought for a bit that I was the only guy who had wls surgery. The office staff laughed and said there were a few men but the majority were women.

Well... gee... us women aren't all that bad. It's nice there are a few good WLS men out there, but we don't bite. At least I don't (admit it).

I had surgery mid Jan. I honestly think there are differences between men and women on this journey, but there are a lot of similarities.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM.

      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.
