I guess I will need to temper my justice with mercy. I will leave my abrasive comments for the man section of this forum <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> . At any rate' date=' good luck on your journey ladies.[/quote']

No wonder you were so abrasive and insensitive!! You're a man!! That explains a lot! Haha! Just teasing you. I'm glad you are part of this forum. Welcome!

I am not having nausea' date=' though I have phenergan if I need it. Blue raspberry hmmm. Does it come in a can?[/quote']

I was severely nauseaous and Isopure saved me. Alpine Punch and Passion are my favorites. I'm on Sour Apple. I have dilute with Water because it is too sweet for me.

Good Luck finding what works for you.

I have a question I'm a couple pages behind so someone may have asked this already but what's a binder?

Hi, sorry nnaddour, I missed the question. It's like a ....girdle almost. It's a post surgical binder. i was considering buying one off Amazon. Like this http://www.amazon.com/ITA-MED-Elastic-Abdominal-Binder-AB-309/dp/B000WFR1WS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1366231131&sr=8-2&keywords=post+surgical+binder

Since I have that super sore spot by my belly button, my nurse is sure I pulled something, I'm ordering one in hopes I can stand working next week. Doesn't matter if I can stand it or not. I've got bills so I'll be at work bright and early on the 22nd!

Nella- before you buy a binder- have you thought about trying the "control top" panties? My nurse told me those work better and are a whole lot more comfortable than the binders! Plus a lot cheaper

I tried some. Unfortunately, I'm long waisted. They hit me in a sore area and seem to hurt too much! I was hoping they would do it and my Spanx don't seem supportive enough

      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.
