Frequently Asked Questions



Recommended Posts

It would be nice if a FAQ thread could be highlighted in RED and listed at the top of the FORUM page that is alway viewable. This might reduce daily multiple repeated questions and help new and old members search common questions and topics.

Good suggestion. I would love to be able to view important topics without using the clumsy search feature.

We're launching the next iteration of VST in about 1-3 months. This idea was discussed previously but never went anywhere. I'd love to add this to the new site. How do you gals suggest we go about this ?

We're launching the next iteration of VST in about 4-6 weeks. This idea was discussed previously but never went anywhere. I'd love to add this to the new site. How do you gals suggest we go about this ?

I would love to see a tab at the very top of the page where we have Forum, Community, Photos. And have a tab that is labeled "frequent questions' and in the pull down menu: stalls, Hair loss, Vitamin ideas, Protein Shake debate. I don't know if this will help. Or if there is a tab for frequent questions and then it pulls up a search where you can enter your question easier and get answers faster from previous posts? But you kind of have that already. hmmmmm.

Somehow it is getting missed.

Thanks! And I am looking forward to the new version of VST!

Compiling that list is going to be a job. Any volunteers ? :D

COnative, you must have been reading my mind. It would also be nice to add to that Hospital/Airport "Shoutouts" and "I at the wrong THING!" This may help.

I wish. But I am unable to help at this time. I didn't realize that this is a volunteer based website. This might not be possible after all but it can sure be a fantasy! ;)

Thanks! Let's use this thread to compile a complete list. Once it's completed, I'll convert the info into an official FAQ.

That's great. I really hope this helps! Can I also suggest that if a new post is posted in the incorrect category that it be moved to correct category with a note like "Your post has been moved to "????" category.

Thanks!

We have the ability to do this but it's not used often. Currently the only time we do this is if we receive a report. In the near future I'd like to get the community more actively involved in moderation and organization of topics.

      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.
