Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I just want to give you guys praise...



Recommended Posts

I've been "lurking" around this site for about a year now. I post pretty infrequently, since I'm not banded (unaffordable to me). I just want to say that you guys seem to get along so well, are so courteous and supportive to one another. I think it's great! Alot of other sites, little cliques form and there is a lot of harrassment but I don't think I've ever seen that on here.

Just a note.

Thanks Tropicana! I know that we really make an effort to be supportive of everyone. We are not shy when we have to give tough love, but we try to always do it with love. I'm so proud of my fellow LBTers, for the compassion we have for not only each other, but the compassion we have for our selves.

I hope that made sense!

I have felt the same thing on the other sites, I wont mention their names but we all know which sites they are. I NO longer go to those sites for that reason myself.

Thanks for the compliment, LBT feel like one big happy family, lots of love and support here, glad you found us here :)

We are all passionate about our belief systems, but I'd like to believe that at the end of the day we all love and care for each other just the same.

It doesn't matter to me how all of the people on here choose to live, I love them the same and accept them all just as readily.

Thank you for the compliments to all of us!

      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.
