:speechles Sorry. Maybe I spoke out of turn.
Hey, there is no "out of turn" on a message board, just like there is no "private conversation" on a thread (had to break that to someone yesterday, so sad). :huytsao Speak away, we're listening! :biggrin1:

Oh well, too late now anyway. I might as well say what I think. OH has become boring as shit since the "old timers" have ran everyone off. They are coming over here to keep from falling asleep! They know we have a place where drama, bitching, and just plain ole "pissing in each other's coffee" is allowed. Let's face it, it is fun. That is why we are here. When I read over at OH, it is all I can do to keep from falling asleep. Yep, there is some good info, but there is here too. Plus, we have this R&R forum where we can raise hell if we want without fear of posts being removed, being moderated to death, etc.

Yep, that's what I thought, too.

I think some posts can be passive aggressive as well so as not to make there intent so obvious to everyone on the board. Or maybe it just appears that way to me. I remember a thread where Ron was particularly obnoxious with one of his Protein Shake rants and of course comments on Wendells weight loss. A few days after the thread there was a post by Chelle thanking Ron for his wonderful contributions to the board.

Moderated! That's for damn sure!

I'm on forever moderation I think! HA! I'm going to have to come up with a new ID. Oh wait... I already did. It's another obvious one but I'm not announcing it this time. Each time anyone finds out who I am (not that it's tough to figure out since I make it bloody obvious) I am reported. So I'm not announcing this time. People will figure it out.

But I really don't go over there often. Just when someone sends me a link to something amusing Sandy writes.

And you can actually FIND the good info here. OH's format made me want to slam my head into a wall.

Can someone tell me why I'm getting these replies in my mailbox when I didn't start the thread?

Just click on the link in the email that says unsubscribe. If you respond a few times in a thread sometimes you get subscribed to 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?

        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.
