Our journey is slightly different after 50 and I thought it would be a great thing to start a group that dealt with issues 50+. Feel free to come join the group. No one will be excluded but it is going to be a majority of 50+ journeys. Pre and Post op are welcome and would love to have some Veterans too! Here is the link to the group:

I'd like to join, but it looks like this is not a secret group-correct?

I have a question for all of you regarding horomone replacement. Did you stop taking it after surgery? I was put on it last November and it has cause spotting every month and that was the one good thing about being menopausal! I don't like it and think I'm going to stop it and wondered if all the hormone changes with surgery makes a difference?

I haven't been through menopause yet but when I do I plan on using bio identical. I can't see why it would be a bad thing as it's a natural hormone in our bodies already.

Thanks for the response. I hear a lot of changes happen after surgery and wonder if it will be even necessary.

      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.
