a troll is someone who comes on here just to diss the band...there's been quite a few of them lately.

I may not fully understand the definition myself. Maybe I shouldn't have used it, but just seems to fit here.

My uneducated definition of a troll would be someone who posts negatively about the band, and is very vague. You notice that we are all still talking about this, but the original poster aparently is no longer interested. Just seems fishy.

If this is legit, my deepest apologies. But without further info, I would have to say TROLL.

The poster has been very busy on the other post. She/he still will not give any information and is being nasty now. Oh well...

Ok, where is the person posting this thread, something sounds very wrong, even with me not having any fills, Ive lost weight. Its part of a diet you follow, and exercise routine. You have to work with the band. This isnt a quick fix. So, I agree, possibly someone just posted something to speak negative things about something they probably dont have. Cause if this were a true thread, they would be active in this thread. Uggh anyway. :biggrin:

What's a troll?

An Internet troll,, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion

Hi, sorry you are not happy with the band. Unfortunately there will be people who will not be happy with their band, so it does not offend me. I thank God that I was able to get it and I am doing well with it, but if someone else isn't, I do not condemn them.

You have to assume that if someone is very vague, posts one time then does not return they are most definately a troll. Not sure what it accomplishes. Perhaps a need for attention, even if it's negative. Like a misbehaved child that dosen't get enough love from their parents. They act out sometimes in a negative way just so someone will acknolwlege them. It's actually quite sad.

      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.
