I understand having the five star system to rate forum topics' date=' groups, etc. However, having it to rate an actual person feels so, I'm not sure... icky? Judgmental? Rude? Classless? We all have worth in various forms. I'll tell you, I didn't think anything about it until I visited my own profile to update my weight and saw that I had been rated four stars. I'd like to say that it didn't matter to me, but it kind of hurt. Don't get me wrong, if you knew me in person I'd probably be found to be a two star individual on my best day, but this is a place I come to for acceptance, because we all share a huge similarity in our journey. I come here to speak openly and honestly about my struggles and victories with my sleeve, and to post questions without fear of ridicule. I guess it just bothers me. And, no, this is not a plea to visit my profile and rate me. It's a desire to have this aspect of the site removed all together.[/quote']

I can't see stars on my iPad. Probably a good thing as I likely don't have any lol. (You can't go negative can you?). But in all seriousness, I totally agree with rating doctors, but posters? Ridiculous. It sounds like something the mean girls club would put in place. I hope they get rid of it. It's very juvenile.

(This now ensures I have negative sixteen stars lol).

Funny...when I was in rotary I found out they give a badge for attendance. Having been the child of someone who worked undercover regularly, I was never able to get that badge in school, which as a small child bothered me. I skipped the next rotary meeting to make sure I'd not win the badge, thus putting me in the "total nerds and proud of it" category :P. spending too much time on stars would likely do the same...and I have so little time for a campaign heh heh. VOTE FOR ME!!!!! I'm cool and stuff lmao. (I'm not, please don't lol).

Hehe.. I wrote about this about a month ago! I was updating my profile... I had never even noticed the grey stars by my name until that day.

Why? Because someone gave me a big fat 1 star rating!

Yes folks! 1 star!!!

I think your right' date=' it is wrong on so many levels!

(Hint I was able to see the last few people that visited my page.. So yeah)

Oh and by the way can you stop by proudgrammys page and up her stars to five I keep trying but It's not working.[/quote']

      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.
