I would like to participate, but I have a couple of questions. Is this email exchange oriented towards bypass folks or sleevers? Or does it not matter? Also, what would be some appropriate items to put in a box? I suppose Snacks are out of the question, LOL! :)

I really don't think I will be getting a box from my pen pal this month. I have only received one email from her, fifteen days ago. She sent me a message with her mailing address, and said she was so ready to mail out my box, but I haven't heard anything from her since.

I did my part and mailed out her box 13 days ago. This is the first time I have not received anything.

I know your frustrations. My intention on starting this program was for us to help each other not take advantage of each other. I too, have been stood up a few times but I know those pen pals that I've had are very appreciative. :)

Don't give up, there are some great pen pals out there.

someone would be kind enough to let me know what they do in an instance like this. Hello there, it's been 2 weeks since my operation and today was a very difficult day. I was craving sweet stuff so badly and I just could not for the life of my change my mindset. I am a little fragile today and scared that my mind will let me down. Please if someone could advise me

      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.
