Yet Another Unsolicited Opinion...



Recommended Posts

Writing as someone who was (for a change) not involved in (as they used to call the Civil War) the "recent unpleasantness," I have an observation, comment or whatever...or two.

1--I get a more than a little tickled when I read complaints ON THE LOUNGE PAGES or FEEDBACK PAGES, from people who say they only come to LBT for the support. It's like swearing that you just went to the magazine rack to pick up a copy of Family Circle but want to complain that Playboy has some dirty pictures in it. If you're just there for the Family Circle, don't OPEN the freakin' Playboy. Leave THAT magaine to the people who DO like dirty pictures.

2--I am really not aware of who did what to whom...but, locking a thread is certainly within the rights of any moderator. As is deleting an offensive thread. But becoming a Nazi in the interest of Sweetness and Light is still becomg a Nazi...and digging up and reposting something that a member wrote and then deleted smacks of digging through the trash to find dirt on other people...all National Inquire-y. Yuck.

Just because I wasn't involved, I had to get involved after the fact.

Going back to my bubblegum flavored children's Motrin, now.

And we still haven't received a decent updated medical report from you...come on...scoop please on the most recent procedure, or direct me to the appropriate thread where I missed it. Bubble gum is yummy.

Sue, please, the post was responded to before it was deleted. It was not "undeleted. I should have not responded as harshly and defensively as I did.

Can we please let this go now?

Marie...I REALLY didn't know how many people were involved and what exactly happened. If I had known it was only one moderator involved, I would have been more vague. Sorry that I didn't read every word. It was not meant to single out anyone...just the practices involved.

I'm on the cusp of weeks two and three post-op. I'm very tired of not being 100%. My surgery was painless and I'm progressing just fine. But the progress is not speedy. And one boob is sort of tender. And I want this to be over.

Well said, Sue.

I hope the tenderness goes away soon and you're back to 100% in no time.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
