I hope this forum is helpful when I have my surgery

I am not understanding how there are 'cliques'. Everyone has the same opportunity to respond or initiate a post. Are there private rooms I am not aware of? And if there are, who cares? This isn't high school.

When I have a hard time reading a post due to "text talk", run on sentences with no punctuation, poor spelling, etc., I skip them. That's the ex-teacher in me, I guess! I don't even let my kids use text talk when texting. Ha! :D

Smh = shaking my head. I do know that one!

I only learned the lingo because my kids are 13 and 15 and I wanted to know what their friends were saying on FB. (Yes, I make mine use proper English on FB and Instagram, too.)

To add to that, my mother started using text talk with no idea what she's saying, so I have to stop her antics!

My specialty is/was children with Autism (and Down's). What a blessed mommy you are! I quit teaching to stay at home but I still volunteer a lot in the classroom. Such special little ones...

      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.
