I think it is so rude when someone comes up to me and says so what are you going to do with all your extra skin after you loose weight? I just want to slap the snot out of them!

I was reading today that some RNY patients donate it to burn victims for graphing. I think that is awesome! But I would totally want to shank someone for asking me in that way, if that is how they said it to you. I didn't tell anyone, people are cruel no matter what.

I had a bariatric menu i called to order off of. But i already knew what i could and could not have. Some places must not educate at all.

My surgeon didn't give me much information I've never seen a dietitian yet either he never said anything about Vitamins they unhooked me from my IV 12 hours after my surgery and all I got in the hospital was 2oz tea 2oz Jello and 2oz broth 3 times a day

That's awful. No education at all? I had to pay $150 for a class before surgery that went over everything!

Before i had it some of my co workers said that and asked me if i could lose weight on my own y take the easy way. I was like i lost 10 lbs in 6 months they think is ok. Not me. Of couse bitched them up and down about the afterlife of bypass i was so mad

I also really feel that people like this are jealous of the thought of how you may lose the weight and look great! And of course feeling that way, they have to tear somebody down to make themselves feel better. It is so sad. My closest friend is like this and has started a diet and exercise thing and is so proud and keeps talking about the weight she lost but totally won't acknowledge mine even when I talk about it! People like this are toxic and totally not worth our time. Needless to say, I hardly talk to her. It is important to surround ourselves with people who build us up in our lives:) you're doing awesome and this is far from being the easy way out

      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.
