I Love This Site!!!!



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say I feel like I've met most of you personally, everyone is so caring and it really shows when everyone shares their true feelings.

I had signed up for some Yahoo Groups and OMG, talk about a lot of less than pleasant people. Not everyone mind you, but nothing like the comfort that goes on here.

Thanks to my new friends and supporters.:D

I'm new to here also and have been on a few other sites. There are a lot of very unpleasant people out there! I'm here to learn and lose weight like the others so have no clue why there should be anger or hatefulness among us. We have enough problems with the world seeing us as fat slobs to be made fun of without treating each other like crap!

I agree! This site is wonderful! After I found it, I stopped looking at all the others because they made me uncomfortable. Just about all my research was done right here, and I feel as if I have made many new and important friends, as well!

Hi Pat..Remember Me?

My name is Michelle, we have corresponded a couple of time via email about Dr. Ortiz.

Glad to see you here! This place is so much different then the yahoo sites I agree with you 100%. You can feel the love here! Many on those other boards are not so friendly and you do not feel the connection with the members. We all support eachother , we are like family here...Hope to see you here often!

I am also addicted. I feel like if anything new has happened with the way I am feeling I must come right away and make sure someone else felt that way too. Everyone is so nice!

Yes Michelle, of course I remember you. You've answered my concerns many times, though not always directed to me, the information you've given to others has touched and consoled me as well.

Everyone here has a unique personality. There are the Mom's in us that shine through, the girls next door, (you know who you are), the guys that keep us company and enlighten us with knowledge, not to mention poems and often humor. There are those who just cruise the sites, but we know you're there, the numbers show it, LOL. Most of all it's obvious we all CARE about each other.

Thanks guys...I'll be counting on you to help me through Dec.

      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.
