Am I the only one picking up on some judgemental tones from Oprah and the doctor? I want to think it's stemming from the fact that these are teens they are highlighting.

I didn't think that Oprah was judgemental. I thought that she was asking questions. I thought that the teen-agers were so well-spoken that she couldn't be judgemental. Kudos to those teenagers and their parents

Dr. Oz was the one who came across as strong

I noticed that the audience didn't clap when the WLS teenagers told how much weight they loss, however they applauded when the teenager who lost weight through diet and exercise.....intersting....mmmm

my respect for Dr Oz has gone down based on this show. you'd think he'd be supportive of a way to get healthy..

Yeah, she came across very judgemental. I wonder if maybe she might be resentful of the fact that she has been fighting with her own weight issues and for some reason, WLS isn't an option for her. I know she can afford it, but maybe there are other things which have kept her from exploring this option. I was very turned off by her show today.

I recorded the show and just now finished watching it. I agree, Dr. Oz's comments were very disappointing. I don't think Oprah was being judgemental, it almost seemed like she really didn't care one way or the other. I just wasn't feelin it today, Idk, maybe she was just having an off day!

Oh, and I also noticed the audience seemed a lot more supportive of the girl who lost weight without WLS.

I just got finished watching the show. I already knew Oprah's feeling on WLS from previous shows. I don't even know why she does the shows. She wasn't as bad as she's been on previous shows, but none the less she still seemed judgemental as usual.

Dr. Oz shouldn't have even been up there. I really saw him in a different light. I won't be buying any more books. He's not an expert on WLS surgery. A lot of the things he was saying didn't even apply to the LB.

I think all the kids have done really good and I wished that I could have done it at their ages.

      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.
