Hi - Introduction And Surgery Date



Recommended Posts

I wrote an introduction and about me post a few days ago and haven't received one response to say welcome, good luck, nothing. I read the posts on this site so I know there is support and encouragement here but I was surprised at the silence.

I wish everyone the best but this site apparently is not for me. Please make the new people feel welcome. We are all in or were once in the same boat.

Yes, I agree, don't feel discouraged. I'm new here as well and although I haven't written an introduction I do see there's a lot of support and help here. I'm sorry you didn't get any response to your introduction, I actually just started replying after being a " lurker" for a few weeks. Please stick around and join in, I'm sure you can contribute as well as benefit from all of the knowledge and support here. :)

Welcome to all of you. Sorry you didn't get responses on your first posts. There are so many forums and threads here that sometimes posts can get lost. Hope you find a lot of information here on your journey.

Same thing with me, but hey, I just thought it was the pink hair. I probably should have used the pic of me with the purple hair as my main one :)

Welcome! : ) sorry u didnt get any responses. I think there are often si much info and activity here that your posts may have been overlooked. Depends also in which forum you post, some get less traffic but the site is extremely friendly and supportive. Im preop and have found it to be a treasure chest of info and support.

      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.
