I have read FB is bad for your mental health.

Reddit is no better. It looks like a big bragging before/after picture and look-how-small-my-portions-are show.

None here but left the bariatric pal Facebook group as it was full of toxic people who loved to enable each other eating like crap and call anyone who said differently the "food police" while inevitably they would post a few months later whining about stalls or regain. People were cheering people on eating cake at a few weeks post op because "it's a soft food". There were posts like that constantly. Maybe it's changed since I left but that's not a great support group for making better food choices.

this really irritates the hell out of me. What a huge waste of money for them to have the surgery. Plus when I hear about cases like, this I worry that some insurance policies are going to stop covering it because too many people are unsuccessful because they don't follow the rules. It'll end up screwing those of us who are serious about it up, too, if that happens...

I usually agree with you but this rubs me the wrongest way possible.

Nobody polices patients who've had coronary bypass surgery or angioplasty if they take their statins, engage in moderate exercise and really have stopped smoking. Nobody polices diabetes patients if they changed their eating habits and threatens to stop covering insulin treatment if they don't.

I remember Lipstick...... she hated me .... good riddance b*tches..... I think she may have gotten kicked off that one too.
I do miss my friend Dub. I do still talk to a lot of people that dont come her anymore. Most all have gained all their weight back. Two that were my inspirations.....

that's one of the main reasons I've stayed active on bariatric sites. It keeps my head in the game.

I guess I should have said too many people fail because they revert to their former eating habits.

      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.
