Almost offended

Yeah psych field attracts a lot of kooks too...

Glittering generalization sure but many health food propietors have a tendency to be eccentric.

Idk, it just annoys me how some of the stuff they push isn't medically/scientifically substantiated. Maybe that makes me find them more annoying and thus critical of their sales tactics.

This is so funny something similar happened to me!! When I was pre op I had to meet with a shrink (due to insurance requirements) while I'm waiting a couple walks in I get called in. I'm the shrink no more then 10min I come out the couples wife gets called in. I'm waiting for the receptionist the husband waiting for his wife tells me "your making another appointment" I said "no I just want to give him the questioner " he has the guts to tell me "oh wow one visit and your fixed already" so I told him why I was there and crazy man tells me "god your so pretty already I could only imagine how your going to look after I wish I could see you after when your skinny man I see you already looking skinny and more beautiful" right then the receptionist walks I I gave my papers I smiled and left.

Wow. This is why my WLS is my business and no one else's. I hate busy bodies and personal comments, so invasive. Every time I hear a story like this it just reinforces my decision to keep it private. Sounds like you handled it like a lady (more than I would have done LOL). I order my stuff online.

From that reply I suspect he and his wife were there for marriage counseling!

      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.
