Veteran forum, for vets a year out?



Recommended Posts

This is in the header of the Vets forum, do you think that is enough? Do we still need to make a sticky? Gastric Sleeve Veteran's Forum This forum is dedicated to veteran Sleevers who are one year or more post-op to discuss issues specific to those who are further along in their journey. Please note: You must be one year out to post or create topics here.

That header does not show when viewing from the apps instead of a web browser. Maybe that is going to be fixed?

Folks....I don't think we need a sticky because very soon there will be software controls limiting member's posting ability in the vets forum. Only those who meet the criteria will be able to post, the site will block all others from posting. They will be able to read only.

The criteria will be 1 year post op and 200 previous posts.

Good to know, Butter. Looking forward to that change and a "back to the top" button!

I didn't even realize it had been changed, but I think it was a great move. The old rule of being 6 months post op was not very accurate in my opinion. Even at 3 years post op, there are still days that I feel I am still trying to figure this thing out!!

I won't...I hope we get it some day. Alex said a while ago that it was on the list of things to be done. We can only hope!

I guess I have been breaking the rules. I am almost 11 months out but have way more than 200 post.

I immediately flogged myself for me a flagrant rule breaker. Lol. I guess I broke the rules again by replying to you.

Really? I still haven't found it. Lack of ghrelin has made my eyesight questionable.

I haven't been here forever, don't know if its the new setup or life causing me to nit be online as much. I have really missed the support and info. My hubby had surgery in December, so I'm trying to get back on track with him. I'm staying right at the same weight but still have 10-15 to go. I'm 16 months out, but I'm not sure how many posts I have. Nice to see the banter between some off you still continuing, makes me smile!

Yup, it's really here! I'm on my laptop, not sure if that makes a difference but I've been using it so I'm not seeing things.

As I'm looking around a little more, it looks like the button isn't on the main page. But, I do see it right above where I am typing right now, it's blue writing. It's not one of those fancy "back to the top" buttons that are always on the side of the screen, it's one where you have to go all the way down the page and then click on it.

Maybe some day we'll get a fancy one?

      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.
