All we need is love



Recommended Posts

Hey! I guess I've jumped on in, feet first! I've tapped into some pretty interesting topics and some heated debates. There have been some not so nice comments being made on top of some very valid points. Sadly, the negative comments overshadow these healthy debates and we find the topics being shut down and removed. I am a " tell it like it T.I.S" type of person, but I try to be respectful and mindful of other peoples feelings. I also respect people's opinions, even if I don't agree with them. And often resolve that we can agree to disagree. In these debates, we learn about different subject matters and sometimes find our perspectives changing because of them.

I think a lot of us here can agree that the negativity has to go! You can respectfully disagree with people, blow off some steam, but hurting one another is not the goal. I want to learn from you all and when I see some of the stuff I'm reading, it loses it's meaningfulness and you the credibility. I know it's frustrating sometimes and we can all be very passionate about out beliefs, but we have to remember: that this is a support forum.

Thanks for listening to my rant! I hope everyone is well and continues to be well.

All we need is love! :)

      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?

      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.
