I'm a little confused. If I see this thread does that mean I'm a VIP member? Glad to be here.

We've been working on a new BP app which has better functionality and features (Tracking, video exercises, etc) It's coming along ok but taking a lot longer than I had hoped.

Check your credit card statement next month. Thank you for supporting such a worthy cause!

JK! :P :P :P

I provided VIP membership to members that have contributed to BP over the last year or so. It's the least I can do for all of you. If anyone wants a digital copy (Kindle, Nook or PDF) of any of my books, please just PM me and I'll be happy to provide them free of charge.

@@Alex Brecher Thanks! At first I wondered what that VIP was, and then I found this forum and thought it was a mistake. I seriously was going to check my credit card statement, thinking perhaps I signed up! Then I saw others also wondering, and thought it must be a "free trial"! So thank you for the exclusive access. I feel important :)

Thank you for this forum. I was one that was very active and left the boards due to the amount of negativity at certain times and unrealistic expectations of some. I came back because I am considering revision surgery due to gerd, hernia, and lack of weightloss post pregnancy. I am looking for others that have had revision surgery. I had my VSG done in Bogota, CB by an amazing team and had great follow up care. We are now back in the US and I will most likely have surgery with Dr. Halmi.

Nice to read and be included in this positive forum. Thank you positive posters!

After many years, I do understand some frustration with negative people or those that choose to not follow dr instructions..... Maybe some docs don't give out enough info and directions?

I got a 6 page handout in 2006, after outpatient banding w/ quick check up the following day,and I'll see you in 6 wks.

Anyway, glad to be here. Lots of good advice....and some yuks.

      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.
