Thanks for typing what I was thinking....

I'll add in. How much did you lose by X?

I get it... Those are things people really want to know about the future and being overweight. Just repetitive questions.

It is a new world for the overweight population.... (Primarily females )to finally change a part of life that is very hard to conquer without huge changes and surgery.

Thank goodness there are a lot of posters who will answer many questions over and again.

This site has some great info ( along with some fallacy) for those looking for answers.

I don't blame you, I am pre-op and I am already tired of some of the questions. But I hope that despite all of the repetitive questions, that you decide to stick around. I hope that once I finally have my surgery that there will still be knowledgeable vets such as yourself to help guide me, and to smack some sense into me if I end up posting one of those same repetitive threads. I appreciate people who refuse to sugar coat things. I don't want to be coddled, I want truthful information and insight from those people who have been through it themselves already.

I am new, and I use search everytime before I ask myself. The searching function isn't always the best. I'm sure it all gets old (especially the can I eat pizza, cake, etc.) But I know that I really appreciate it and I'm sure others do too.

Maybe there should be a forum on here for the 'vets', and you can only join after x weeks/months as a member of this site? The topics will be those of interest to those who are more informed and you won't have to weed through the repetition.

I'm not sure if this would work, but just a thought. If you did create such a forum I do hope you'd still pop into the rest of the content as we can all benefit from your knowledge and experience :)

Apparently I need to stop reading the Post-Op forum as that is where the Stupid lives.

I'm 7 years post sleeve . You can always send me a PM.

I tend to stay away from the general sleeve discussion and now read rants and raves, the lounge, the powder room etc because of the same reason. I can't read the same question that I've been reading for 7 years.

How about "I had surgery this morning at 8, it's 4 pm now and I just had a crunchy taco and shot of whiskey and now I feel guilty...is that bad?"

~ Ok maybe that's a little exaggerated....but only a little! Some of the questions are outright scary. After reading some I often wonder how they haven't injured themselves or even caused a rupture, but I don't dare say anything because....you know...bullying and all. :blink:

      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.
