I'm agnostic, but I try to be respectful of others' beliefs including atheists. It's okay to not believe, but it's highly disrespectful to refer to someone else's faith as a fairy tale.

Their are believers and unbelievers.... why hold those that don't believe to our convictions. She don't believe based on her statement. There is no conviction in her heart because it can't be. We were all once there. Those that know God, knows God protected her. However that's greek to her. It's going to take the Holy Spirit to convict her just like He convicted us. Pray for Erica_ozzy73 and be at peace.

Someone seem to have gotton offended by an unbelievers statement.

I believe it goes both ways. The unbeliever is offended by a believer's statement and the believer is offended by the unbeliever's statement. I'm offended because the poster referred to my God as a fairy-tale, but I'm also respectful of not name calling someone's unbelief too.

For the believers' : Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Luke 23:34

For the unbelievers: I just ask you to not name call our beliefs as we shouldn't be doing either. Yes, Christians can be wrong too.

We are all here for encouragement and advice from others walking through their journeys with WLS. It's ok if we want to mention how God works in our lives regarding our sleeves, if we want. It's okay if you're an unbeliever to mention your god or however you choose, your conscience, led you through your WLS too. Let's keep religion (which I don't care for--too long to explain) or spiritual preferences and for sure, political association out of the forums. There is a RELIGIOUS SLEEVERS forum for all this.

Peace out!

Freedom of speech is a right for everyone. She had a right to say it and those who disagree have a right to respond. There was no need to put in a dig calling another person's faith a fairy tale. It was unnecessary and had nothing to do with the OP original question.

      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.
