I Love This Forum And Chat Room



Recommended Posts

I just love this forum and chat room. I have found friends and comrades where I least expected to find them. I have stayed up late at night to chat when I am feeling low, or just cant sleep, or when someone else needs a friend or information. I have laughed out loud at our conversations in the chat room. In the chat room and from the posts, I have learned what to expect and not expect from this surgery.

Most of all I have found a place where I belong- A place where I can be heard. And that is a special thing, indeed.

Thank you for walking this path with me. I hope we meet along the way.

See you in the chat!

In the chat room we discuss various topics, both pre-op and post-op. Sometimes we socialize and get a bit more personal. Some of stay in the chat for hours. Others- just pop in to ask a question. We get lots of newbies and members who are looking for information and support. Being in the chat is both helpful and entertaining. It's nice to be "a part of".

Come experience it. I welcome you.

I love this forum and chat room, it is so nice to speak with people who are going through what I went through or what I am going through. I have made many friends and I speak with them pretty much daily!

I absolutely love the chatroom. I've already made some new friends. And have gotten some MUCH needed help/information. Also met a very nice woman that sent me clothes, as I'm a single mom/college student on a limited budget. To which, I am SO very appreciative!

I have yet to post in the chat room but I have been there a number of times.

It reminds me of the party line* my family had when I was a kid and lived on the farm in Iowa,(except more interesting). When I had absolutely nothing to do I lightly picked up the phone and listened to what the farmers were saying. Never anything worth hearing unless you're into talk about the best feces to use for fertilizer. :huh:

* party line: more than one customer shared the same line. You had different rings so you could tell when someone was calling you.

Seems like the chat room is in need of a little positive PR today, so i thought i'd bump this post and see what happens.

      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.
