Just curious, but why is it that I see veterans that choose not to have a profile pic? Seems like once you reach your goal weight, or close to it, that you would be proud of how you look and want to post a profile pic, even before & after pics. Maybe some people want to keep their identity secret. I can fully understand why someone that has not lost their weight would not want to post a pic. I guess, when I read a post from someone, I want to be able to see what they look like. Makes everything a little more personal. By the way; if you're one of the people that chooses not to post a pic, I'm not trying to pick on you, I'm just curious.

Not a vet, but I had a pic briefly and decided I didn't want it picked up in a screen shot for use on the Bariatic Pal app.

i'm not a vet, nor am I particular sensitive about my appearance.

I just like to keep my identity private and be evaluated on the content of my character in this here cyber-t'internet-world.

That is all :D

Could also be laziness! LOL When I signed up here I was at work and didnt have access to any personal pictures so I'm not even using the Avatar I use everywhere else. I usually read this forum at work and I'm limited to what I can do because technically I don't need the Internet to do my job. I could of course upload something from home, I just never have.

      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.
