Suggestion on changing the date specific forums



Recommended Posts

Alex,

I was wondering if you could merge the monthly forums for bandsters out a couple years. I love the monthly support groups for those that have been banded for the first 12-18 months but by the time you get to 2+ years so many have disappeard that the monthly groups get quite lonely. I'd rather there was just one forum category for all of 2005 where we could start a thread for all of us that were banded in 05 and are still around. And another forum for those from 2004 and earlier.

- 2008

- jan

- feb

- mar

- etc.

- 2007

- jan

- feb

- mar

- etc

- 2006

- open to posting non-monthly threads (depending on how active this area still is)

- 2005

- open to posting non-monthly threads

- 2004 and older

This isn't to say those in the 2006 or older forum groups couldn't start a thread titled with a month just that we weren't confined to going to our specific month.

Interesting idea. I'm open to this change. Let's see if anybody else has any suggestions on this topic. Send me a PM message please and I'll go ahead with it later this evening.

Definitely! The 2005 forum is so quiet -- nobody's talking in the August thread so I moved into Sept... I think it'd be much better if we did it by year once 2+ years out. :D

      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.
