Time To Give Up On This Site?



Recommended Posts

I agree with everyone I miss RNY Talk ,here when I look up current threads I have to make sure they are Bariatric RNY so I stopped doing that and go to the RNY forum to make sure I am with my group! I understand it is all WL journey but if I have questions or concerns with my procedure then I want someone to reply that has had the RNY surgery. As I am sure someone that had VSG or lap band would be thinking why is she telling me how/ what to cope with this concern.

How are you doing? Everything go well Monday?

I don't know what's happened but our RNY forum seems to have died since the changeover. Hardly any new content being added these days or replies being made. I'm wondering if many people have just given up. I think I might have to do the same as it's just a shadow of the great site it was before :-(

I'm kinda sad about this site. I'm a sleeve to RNY revision so I had the sleeve site and the bypass site. But on my profile since I had the RNY latest it gives me only new content on the RNY so I can't see any of my friends or threads on the sleeve side...it's hard to lose all of your friends and threads...:(

  • nailsbyniki, you can still view all the forums, no matter what type of surgery you had. Just go to the top left of the page and use the drop down menu to choose sleeve plication (a stupid name that is not what everyone calls VSG. All your buds will still be accessible.

Wow, I finally found the website. I had surgery 10/29/13 and the first week post op the site was gone! I was real disappointed. I was looking up the RNY talk website that was put under my favorites and it was not pulling the new one up. So hopefully changing to bariatric pal website will make the difference. Glad to finally see some post! At work, when I see people doing bariatric appts I tell them about our forum. I'm proud of our group!

Sleeve Plication is a different (and the newest) bariatric surgery. Assuming you had the VSG you want to choose Gastric Sleeve Forums. Back in the days when I was teaching IT classes I used to tell my students "If you can see it, click on it!" It's a great way to quickly learn the navigation of the new site. You're gonna love the new you!!

      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.
