Hmmm, I've heard of trolls under the bridge and troll dolls but what is a troll on this forum? Color me under-informed.

There are sick people who join sites and pretend to have the same issues and then spin really unbelievable stories; then feel great when people believe them.

It's very common on pregnancy boards.

It's also common on boards for people dealing with infidelity in a marriage. I've seen a few posts that made me go "huuuuh????" on here.

Trolls make inflammatory comments then sit back and watch the sparks fly. When they get something stirred up they keep adding gasoline to the fire. People get caught up in the fray, start picking sides, and bad feelings, anger, and hate set in. Before you know it your happy little forum has been ruined. A dog forum I belonged to was torn apart by trolls.

The best defense against trolls is to ignore negative comments. If you must respond do it calmly and reasonably but don't get caught up in an argument. Trolls don't want to be persuaded, they want to be entertained by conflict. If they can't get a rise out of anyone, it's not fun for them and they go away.

I recently received a pm from a troll member, telling me I was the recipient of $8.6 million....I reported the member and the message. It was funny, because the members name was Helen and the profile pic was a man in a suit, lol.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
