URGH, not too lucky…my NOT eating all of my calories has made the scale move UP, not down…I guess I will have to MAKE myself eat today :(

I feel you on that though :/ I ate the most calorie dense foods I could after more than 2 days in a row. Just for a day to get things moving again. I still had a hard time getting anywhere close to a good amount of calories...but since I could only handle that little amount of food if seemed alright. Maybe that explains the cravings Im fighting now though...Scratch that...DON'T do that :/

Morning, my friends. Quiet day at work, it's nice. Since we are going out for Thanksgiving for the first time ever, we are trying to think of things to do in the city while we are there. Movie? 8PM early sales? We are having dinner at the restaurant at 4 pm. Any suggestions on things to do?

What is going to be so weird this Thanksgiving is eating before dinner. In past years I saved up my appetite all day for the big meal. This year that won't work, since I won't be able to eat more if I skip meals early in the day or not. And skipping meals early in the day will hose my Protein intake.

Susan, since you are following this thread, could you consider passing along suggestions mentioned above to alex?

The more I think about it, the more I realize that having the list of "new" gastric sleeve stuff going on the right side of the screen is what prompted me to respond to posts no matter what forum. As a vet, I don't necessarily click on each and every forum (I would argue we have too many of them!) but when I see a title that looks like I might have something to add, I look into it. I suspect part of what is happening now is that many of us only go to threads we are already posting in because it is a pain to click into each forum and explore "whats new". I do realize there is a new content button, but somehow it just isn't the same.

I feel as though I have "lost" some of the regulars. I NEVER see their posts and I don't know why. There is something different about the navigation that I am just not being triggered to find them. Maybe the main issue really does relate to the mobile device issues... not sure... but somehow we have lost alot of regulars....

Well, I hardly go to Facebook any more. Too many changes for my old brain to cope with. And I used an app on my phone called Shape Up Club, and they recently "upgraded" too. The app is unusable and they have lost all of my carefully recorded daily weight status since surgery. Gutted.

I'll have to check the app out again. I do have it on my Android phone, but I mostly used the iPad app. At work I use a PC to post (because I'm working so hard!)

Hi there! Anyone care to pass this on to Alex or Susan or someone??? I joined as "gardengirl" over the summer. Loved VST. Got locked out after the merger. Re registered as "gardengirl2". Got locked out again. Re registered third time as "gardengirl14 or 16". Can't remember. Anyway, I just want my old account back. Every time I write to the tech people it kicks me out. Can I get someone to help? Or just take this as a hint...? And finally: my daughter who has read and loved Hunger Games, Divergent books, and Fault in our Stars found a new mini series she is crazy for that starts with a book called "The Selection". And for all of us, kids and grown ups alike, read "Wonder". Simply amazing. Happy Thanksgiving all".

      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.
