yoda and green, i wonder if we took a poll how many redheads are banded? is the fat gene linked to the red hair gene? lol

Oh, ugh! You might be right. We're fat and we have to stay indoors during the summer! I had spent decades of my life explaining to my work colleagues why I don't have a tan. This happened summer after summer after summer. I was relieved when the news broke about skin cancer. I was so tired of being treated like a freak!:phanvan

Yes, I am overweight and I buy sun block by the gross. This is my life and this is why I dread global warming.:huytsao This is why I was never able to finish the sailing lessons that my husband and I undertook. This is also why I spend a significant part of our trips to the tropics in our room with the A/C on the polar setting.:omg: Oh, all of this is Sad City for Green.....:cry

green i use spf 80, wear hats and long sleeves and pants in the summer! someone once told me i was so white i was blue! have you also noticed that brown fat looks better than white fat? i always see fat brown pple in shorts and swimsuits and somehow its not as awful as my own white fat. One of my grandchildren is so white he's luminous. he's the only one, poor bugger. the others took from the mediterrean side.

Thankfully Mr Yoda is just as (if not moreso) fair as I am....so we both end up being sun phobics together.....it was funny when we went to Mexico a year and a half ago.....no sun for us bunnies, I tell ya!

But...psssssssssssst, Green & Neenagh....go to Columbia for a holiday.....when I went there (a loooong time ago - pre fat!) the guys went absobloody nuts over my red hair and white skin......they loved it, let me tell ya!!!! LOL

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
