Thank God I found this forum....



Recommended Posts

I don't know if this is the right place for these comments. I've been on another forum where someone who claims to be a nurse and isn't gives out loads of bad information. I pesonally can't take anymore of it, as I hate to see new people misled. I'm hoping this forum is a kinder place to be without fighting and arguing for no reason. I would like to think it is a helpful place to get good information and not be bogged down by this person who is bringing this other forum to its knees.

I have a good friend who told me about this forum called WasABubbleButt..where are you sweetie? I need to hear something positive right now. I am so completely burned out by the meanness I see on this other forum and the small group that is trying to run it. Please someone tell me that this person who claims to be a nurse doesn't belong to this forum....or I won't last long at all.

This is an excellent forum! You will love it for the information and support. As for fighting and arguing, sometimes it happens on any message board, but if it happens here it blows over quickly! Glad your friend recommended this site.

It's good to see you over here!!!!!

Yes, there are HUGE differences in LBT vs. that other place. We don't have the drama, the cliques, the petty behaviors here. Nobody is chasing away other people, it's just a nice place to come and relax.

There are disagreements here but as previously stated, they blow over quickly. We prefer to provide support vs. abuse.

There are people here I strongly disagree with regarding politics, religion, current events, etc. but that doesn't mean I wouldn't offer anything I could to help if there was something they needed. I think 99% of the people here feel the same. You'll do well here. We are a lot nicer and much less childish drama. Actually, the only real drama we have is when the people from your old forum come "cheering" (private joke) over here. :drum:

Your old forum isn't about support, it's about a few lonely older women that have little life and the only friends they have are on line and only if they follow the clique rules, regardless of who they hurt in the meantime.

(((HUGS)))

Hi All, What a great crew to band with. We all need all the encouragement we can get! I am finding out that most us are having the same problems and it helps to know that I am not alone.I should be called sugarstalker! seems it goes down so easy compared to the right foods. Oh well, no one said it would be easy. By the way , why is Rachael Ray's picture on the front page? Has she had the band? Just curios. Thanks.

LOL! :) That's exactly who I thought it was, but I don't think so.

      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.
