The FB group should be set to "secret", and it won't show up at all to friends. Your joining, etc. is kept totally private. No one can search the group either! I'm a member of another one for a volunteer leadership group I'm in. HTH!

Anyone else having what I'm calling "surgery brain"?? I'm having a really hard time concentrating on anything else' date=' work, etc. It's not even that I'm thinking about surgery, I just can't focus. I can't turn my brain off at night either.[/quote']

I am with you, I spend everyday researching products to use for pre-op so I understand. I am really excited to not have to be in pain anymore. I have pain in my knees and ankles due to carrying so much weight. I am also over processing the surgery and the after affects. I don't want to do any work while at work because I feel there is more information I can be researching. Lol

Is anyone else on Protein Shakes getting muscle cramps? Since I started the shakes, my knee has been locking up. I don't know if it's from the aspartame or the change in my center of gravity due to weight loss.

Hey all, you may want to private message your email addresses rather than post them here...you may start getting a LOT of unwanted spam mail otherwise.

      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.
