I also posted this in the Lounge. I can't find the WLS News forum anymore.

Here's the story highlights:

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • Researchers developed a bra prototype with sensors to monitor a woman's emotional state
  • The bra could send alerts to the wearer's phone to combat overeating

I'm waiting for v. 3.0.

Seriously, this is goofy. I heard about this on the news. The battery runs down after 4 hours.

Technically, they didn't gear it towards women only, but women just happen to wear under clothing where the app needs to be. Personally, I think a shock type collar with an invisable fence around the kitchen would work better ;)

Yeah, you beat me to it. They have those humane shock collars now that, instead of sending electrical currents, spray you in the face with the scent of skunk ass. That would surely kill a person's need to graze...at least temporarily.

I was thinking that a good jaw wiring would be a good start.

Probably cheaper than a sleeve surgery. Less chance of a leak. But someone would find a way to eat around it.....I think I could stick donuts in my vitamix and drink them through a straw.

If it were April 1st... i would call bogus on it. LOL

At first I thought it said it would send a message to her phone to call her... you know, sorta like a monitored alarm system when the call center calls you back when it goes off to see if you are okay... We could set up a call center off shore and they call you to talk you out of it... "butter, everything is going to be fine, just put down the donut... and slowly back away"

I kinda like the shock or skunk ass collar idea too, but then I would never get enough Water in either....

      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.
