So I sign up for this because I was curious and I'm new to all this, but I see now that every simple question I ask I get attacked on it. Seriously I can't ask anything without someone being sarcastic or just plain rude. So I wanna thank those who took their time to answer my questions without attacking me or being sarcastic. Thanks

Sorry you feel that way, I know especially with typing there is no way to take how someone is talking to you. Don't take it personal and you should stay.

Wow. I'm sorry that you've had that experience. As a newbie myself I understand your questions and curiosity. I was happy to find a safe place to discuss with and question others who have been through the same experiences.

So to the experienced members of this group, please take a minute to remember how scared, confused, and full of questions you may have felt directly after surgery. And maybe offer advice with kindness instead of sarcasm. One day we will be the experienced ones, but right now what we need most of all is kindness and support.

Wishing everyone success wherever you are in your journey. ????

I just went back through every single post you've made and honestly I haven't really seen anything too bad.. The last one or 2 post was possibly borderline.. And you seemed a little bit over sensitive.. Emotions maybe? I know I can be that way.. And it's not uncommon pre or post surgery because of little to know carbs.. It can make you get roller coaster emotions.. Just take a deep breath.. Try to ignore what you don't like and continue appreciate all the help you did and will get :)

Good advice. I also have had a little harsh response to one of my posts. Please don't let a few hurtful responses turn you off to this. There is an extremely amount of experience and tips here. I have gained so much info. I believe that the people who are the furthest out from surgery tend to forget how they felt when they were starting out. Don't engage with negative comments. That's the best way to handle it.

      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?

      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.
