DO NOT JOIN THE Facebook GROUP!!

The person running it is FAR from supportive of everyone's journey she just banned two people from the group over a joke that she took way to far even though the people involved saw no issues.

You can not have your own journey in there its her way or your banned.

Everyone's journey is different, has different requirements, and different opinions that should be supported as a group and no one needs to feel singled out because of it.

The vibe changed drastically over a period of one night. I doubt it will be the same it was again.

What's the point in banning people for sticking up for others or because they have a different journey than you?!

We are all into this TOGETHER!!

Oh lord. Please start your own group. I'm sure you will be excellent at it. Lol. If anyone wants to join we have four new additional admins to soften my tyrannical rule .

I'm not even going to respond to this insane rant but we are still accepting members and have about 43 people currently (about two more joined after the above person left) Everyone is very friendly and you are welcome to join us. Thanks everyone.

I didn't leave, I was banned for sticking up for someone and then blocked. I had no plans to leave but im not about subjecting people to what happened. I am about supporting everyone for who they are and what their personal journey is. I am sorry you can not do that too. It saddens me that you have to act like you did to feel better about yourself. No one deserves to be scrutinized or publicly attacked no one! I never left you banned me for having my opinion on how it was poorly handled! Three active members left because of your lack of being able to support everyone. Just because you have 43 members doesn't mean anything. Only maybe 10-15 are active and 3 of the best were banned and blocked from no ones choice but your own.

No one deserves to feel like how you made people feel during this stressful and important time in their life. I am sure you deleted everything but I saved every bit of it so keep on I am going to people who won't treat people like you do/did.

It is by far from a rant but a warning for people who want a supportive group no matter what they choose is important for them and their journey you should love everyone for who they are not only the ones who agree with how you view things.

(FYI you still responded to the "rant")

People were kicked for criticizing other's food choices and it wasn't just that one time. That's a rule in our group. I'm unfollowing this thread now but I hope you guys are able to support each other with people who don't mind having boundaries crossed. If that's the kind of support you are looking for you are correct in seeking it elsewhere. Good luck on your journey to health.

No one was criticizing anyone and that's the biggest problem here. Both parties were completely fine with the comment as it was a joke to help lighten the stress and tension that you get from pre-op liquid diet phase. No boundaries were pushed by anyone but you and you fail to see what you did wrong and what you could have done to make it right instead you made others feel horrible, and banned people saying they left when they did not. You making people feel ganged up on, scrutinized, attacked, and horrible is absolutely not the support I am looking for. You are right on that one!

I sure didn't do anything but stand up for someone who you publicly attacked.

Good Morning …and Thank you for the little chuckle. I have got to learn to be computer literate…I missed the whole debacle between FB and BP. Yes, it is a very stressful time but thats the beauty/saving grace of all this.

No one here regardless of their comments …edgy or soft wishes anyone ill. That I feel to be true.

Why waist energy on having hurt feeling when... whether you like it or not we are the "BARIATRIC PALS!"

Plus if I am to get upset I will never get….. 64OZ of FRIGG'IN Water DOWN…is this every day for the rest of my life ?

Or just the first few months. Now this is some thing to get emotional about.

Good Morning... ;)

      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.
