Since I'm new to all of this. I have a few questions so I can get my box together. Do I email my pen pal to get their address and some ideas of what to send?

Yes, you email your pen pal and ask whatever questions you want. It's a great way to get to know each other and figure out what you each like. You can send anything that you find useful, it doesn't have to be food, you can send journals, containers, clothing, anything. :) let me know if you need anything else

I received my box - thanks Angie- and it was filled with great treats and drink helpers. It was fun to go thru everything. I like the hard candies and the snap pole most. Can't wait till next month!

I'm not sure if Tasha has sent out an email informing everyone that she has placed the pen pal program in my care. With so many things going on in her life, she felt it was essential that she allow someone else to continue the program.

Tasha has forwarded me the pen pal email list and I will be using that to send out emails. If you are interested in joining the program, please send me an email at penpalbuddy2014@gmail.com

Please note all the information included in the rules. I look forward to continuing this process.

Thanks,

Sebrina

      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.
