Pen Pal Goodie Boxes?



Recommended Posts

I would like a pen pal. I could send things that I found helpful during my journey.

Can we mention where we are from so that we can ensure we don't pick a pen pal from the same area?

I'm from New Orleans. I figured knowing where ppl were from would help to be pen pals and create care packages.

I understand that feeling. You have chosen a Dr that you believe has your best interest at hands, so you will do good. This is a hard decision that we have all fought with. But imagine the benefits after the struggle. I'm 4 days Post-op and I struggled today with it being Easter. But a lady reminded me that we just need to stick it out this time and next year we will be good. I'll give you my email if you would like. Best of Luck and you can do it.

Hello all,

I was thinking about this thread and how we could really start it going.

Besides finding out where everyone is from. We can chat about what WLS we had and when. That way it would help anyone creating a goodie box on what to put in it. What do you think?

      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.
