Wow...

I just have to tell you something. But first I have to say that I don't really know where to post this. I don't know if I should be posting this or if I should write an email to someone.

I have to tell you what a great forum this is. This forum is soooooo much better than the other large forum out there I just don't have words to express my thoughts.

I can come here, admit I had surgery in Mexico and I am not slam dunked by the nasty people of the world. I am not told how stupid I am, I am an idiot, I should know better, blah blah blah. I happen to like my surgeon and I would have surgery again in Mexico ANY 'ol day!

I don't have other members here chasing me down trying to sell me stupid CDs on visualizing my weight loss becoming a reality (my band does that for me just fine). I don't have people telling me I'm a total loser because I am not a Christian. I don't have annoying people following me from thread to thread to tell me about all the other people they don't like.

Holy crap! NORMAL people post on this site! I am so thrilled, you just have no idea. I no longer feel like I am a first grader again with the people around me. Folks here are adults and they behave as such!

This was really confirmed for me when I saw that two people who made me want to scream in frustration from the "other" board... well, they have had their accounts suspended here. YeeHAWWWWW! Things are done well here.

I have little experience seeing Mods post here but from what little I have seen LBT doesn't use bigots for mods but they use real people instead. Nobody is trying to sell me anything, I absolutely love it here.

The posters here are fun, they are warm, they are friendly, they want to have a good time, they are real, they have a great sense of humor, the topics are great, the mods are normal, the threads are allowed to live a life of their own, ... I'm just sincerely very impressed.

I promise you, my intent here is not to diss the other forum, it really isn't. But I can't help but to make comparisons between the two. It's just very nice here and someone deserves to know that.

You guys do a great job, tell me where to send this via email and I will. I was so annoyed and frustrated I closed out my account at the other place. Now I am regretting that, I wish I would have told the normals to come over HERE and THEN closed out my account.

Seriously, I've been a mod before and it is no easy task. I like that the mods join in on the discussions, they participate, they are friendly. It's not easy trying to please everyone but you guys seem to do a great job.

Cheers.

      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.
