You know what I can't spell. Never could. I have an IQ of over 150 and have previously been a member of MENSA. I do know the difference between imply and infer. I like my wine. I did not "lecture" anyone, I also know the meaning of that word. I am absolutely flattered that so many of you are so facinated with me. THANKS!!!!!

I am a very intelligent person as well and I can't spell worth a darn so I'll give you that one.

But, you have to admit. With the attitude you have shown on this thread, considering that you came here to tell us how wrong we are because we don't post like your other heavily monitored board, and the other insults and slams you have been throwing around when you tell us how horrible we all are... you did kinda put yourself under a microscope.

People tend to give others a dose of their own medicine sometimes. That medicine might not taste great but sometimes it is a necessary evil so we are forced to look at our own behaviors. You are not the only person having to take a little medicine, we all do in life at one time or another.

Truly, there are two things that caught my attention with this "post". Allow me to outline:

1. A previous member of MENSA and IQ of over 150, just brainstorming here, should be able to spell "fascinated", among many other words.

2. We're all happy for you that you like wine, are claiming to be a part of an elite group that constitutes the top 2%, and didn't intend to lecture anyone, but I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Promise me that you won't tell anyone? Pinky swear? Good. No one cares.

I could go on, but I assume once you put your tail between your legs and can be humble among us mere mortals, you'll let us know.

Side note: You were the straw that broke my bad day's back, if you wanted to know why I'm so grumpy.

If everyday individuals like dislexi can join closed forums, what's preventing posts of "dangerous advice" there as well?

I can't say that I know anything about closed forums. Are all the posts and reply's prescreened by your individual physician? Doubtful....

Hi Everybody. I just read through all this stuff and went to ObesityHelp.com to see if they had a different outlook. The forum there seems to reflect the same wide range of opinions as are presented here. Not sure what all the fuss is about. But Dyslexi's last post says it all. Why give attention to disparaging comments? It only encourages the instigator. And puts you at her level. Let's be helpful to each other instead and let negative posts die of neglect.

      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.
