How Do You Add Friends?



Recommended Posts

What is the benefit of doing so? I have been on here for a couple of weeks just reading. I don't really have friends that have had this operation. I sort of feel alone:( This site has been a true blessing for me! I have a very supportive family, but they don't really know what I'm going through. I'm having my surgery December 3rd!!! I love it when I hear other people having surgery around that date. So ready for this new journey!!!

I think you can only do it on a computer or not on the app. But it's nice to add people that you talk to a lot ;-)

December 3rd will be here before you know it. Mine is the 10th. Yikes ;-)

NEWBIES - adding a friend 101 - benefits of friends??? we all need friends!!!

go to a persons profile - i.e. JayhawkFan777 from "above"

click on "my profile" it will bring you to her info - her profile - then click above "add friend" - simple!!!!

add a message is also marked there, you can write a note to someone, but remember - not allowed to pass notes during class ;)

glad your family/friends are supportive - but there is no way they can truely understand whats going on with you - post here for questions, help - we've all been where you are - except if you haven't yet ;)

you are NOT alone

good luck with pending WLS

speedy recovery

see you on the boards

      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.
