One thing is a bit confusing to me.

I see so many people in the many threads and topics and I've noticed something.

There are people talking about their goal weight, or preparing for surgery, or that they are a week or two out and how much they have lost. Some are getting excited about their approval, or impending surgery date.

Then I look at the bio part or their profile and it say Surgery Date 1999. I am confused and wonder why it says that if it is a default setting and people are just not entering their surgery date.

I like to look at where people are now and when they had their respective surgery.

Thanks.

Yes, it is a default setting and I think it is basically impossible for people to change if they are using the app version rather than the web version.

Ahhhhhh, that makes sense. I thought it had something to do with some technical thing.

      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.
