I can't even look on my November surgeries thread. And I am having my surgery Monday morning as well as my Husband. The time I need the support and advice of others on the forum they change it up and better yet shut it down for over a day!

It appears no one can get past certain pages...sucks: most of the forums I read have gone on forever. Since you're at such a tender time I'd say start a new November thread and hopefully your other novemberers will find ya! Just make sure you post it under the right surgery, no telling what you'd hear if you stumble into the wrong one :).

And good luck!!! I was crazy the last couple days before mine...I was nesting trying to get everything done and ready just like when I had my son. :D

I agree with soccermomma... Start a new November thread. In the mean time, feel free to post questions/concerns on this thread and those of us who are a little further along are more than willing to be of any support we can! :) <3

It appears of you go to the web site instead of using the app things are working some better. I do see the November thread there but doesn't look like anyone is using it....at least I can sort of find stuff by going to the web site :) it'll get better! Kinda feel like I've lost my friends though, how goofy.

I had to guess but if you guys are looking for the "November surgeries?" thread you can find it here - http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/280809-november-surgeries/page-21?hl=%2Bnovember#entry3235890 . If you're looking for another thread, if you do a search on the exact title you should be able to find it. If not, post here or send me a PM and I'd be glad to try to help you out.

I just posted the following on another thread that should help you feel more at home again.

Guys this may help you narrow things down a bit. After you've logged on, click on "New Content" in the ribbon near the top of the page. On the right side of the screen you'll see "New content" filters followed by three main options, "By category", "By time period", and "Other". The options in the first two are pretty self-explanatory. To narrow the content you see to RnY threads, click "Filter by forum" under the "Other" option. Scroll down (quite a ways) until you see "Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums". Below that you will see all of the bypass surgery forums - you can select one, many or all of them by holding down the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard while clicking your choices. Immediately below the options, you can filter further by Year or even one or more months of the year.

Once you've made your selection, then just click "Save". Every time you come to the site and click "New Content", you'll see only RnY threads based on your filter options. It sounds much more complicated than it is when you're looking at it and you only have to do it once.

Everyone (including myself) hates changes but once you get the filters configured the way you want them, you'll feel right at home!!

On the iPad app, try clicking on the second to last page, then the last page. It's the way I've been able to see the most current posts.

      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.
