Good morning, all. I have a huge favor to ask. My surgery is coming up in early July, and like many of you, I have chosen to keep it very private from everyone but my immediate family. I have created a different Facebook page because I don't want pages that I've "liked" or groups that I've joined to show up in my newsfeed or that of my friends. I also refuse to post pictures of myself on my FB page, yet I truly want to have some kind of visual record of my progress and want to use my new page to do that -- sort of like a digital journal of my journey. The problem is FB is intuitive enough to know something is up when you have no friends--even when you ask to join closed groups you may get denied if you have no friends because admins think you are just joining to spam them....logical assumption! Would you please consider requesting me as a friend? You can always check "Unfollow" so my stuff won't clog your own newsfeed and I will never post on your wall--but I hope to keep some really good stuff on there, especially recipes I find for post op life. I would love to have some friends who are also July/summer surgeries! My facebook address is katiemorgan7664@gmail.com . I promise I'm not a creepy stalker! Just someone who wants to use social media for the good it can provide! I'm using 7/6/64 as my birthdate so that on every July 6 I will be reminded of my surgerversary--my NEW birthday! Thank you all so much.

Are you using the same email to log into both accounts? Even if you don't, just be careful if yore trying to keep this private as Facebook monitors your activity and may post things to your other wall in the same way it often does when you "like" or comment on someone else's posts.

      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.
