I am fat. I was fatter. I'm still fat. Even with this surgery and all my tears I might always be fat. I'm working on it.

My parents, society, and my Doctors pushed me into this surgery and I went into it kind of blind. My Doctor, well he didn't tell me anything but how easy this will be. My nutritionist talked to me like I was garbage so I never went back.

Everything constructive I have learned here, from helpful people. Any encouragement in my newbie period, well I got it here. Thank you for starting this website Alex. Otherwise I might have had to have another surgery to replace the damage I had done with my body not knowing anything like I did when I went into this. I only wish I had found it earlier before I had the surgery so I would have been prepared.

Moderators, thank you for trying to keep the cruelty to a minimum. I know it can be a thankless job.

I still need support. I'm a slow loser...if I lose at all and I really dont. I don't come here as much as I do but when I do I am usually feeling really low. Thank you Lapbandtalk for being here when I need you.

This was almost as if I wrote it myself (with the exception of having the forums before surgery) I too am a slow loser. I was fatter, I'm still fat and I have a ways to go as well and my surgeon is a great person but has told me he won't give me anymore fills and I'm not at my sweet spot at all. I never had the option of a nutritionist, it was just me my band and the world. This place provided me with a lot of very great support and information as a new bandster and I am thankful for LBT and the support and people.

So I agree, thank you.

I have to say I could not have written that any better myself!! I don't always agree with everyone or even all of the mods but I think we have all come her for one reason SUPPORT!!!!!!!! I was fat going into this and I knew I would need some help and guidance to get as far as I have and where did I find it???? HERE. I know the mods are doing the best they can, give them a break! I will continue to come here and get the support I need to lose that last 25-30 lbs I have. Thanks to all who have helped me along the way, And yes that includes you Susan!!

Thank you, and good luck with everything. The nutritionalist didn't tell me anything I didn't know already, and she really did make me feel like scum.

Nothing is perfect, but it's good to have a support system like lbt to come too. I'm guilty of only coming here during my low times, though. I should break that habit.

(((RSG)))

I'm a slow loser too! :mad:

But really, I just wanted to second, or third or tenth that I am really thankful for this site. I've never left because the support here is always been the best.

I've been to other sites and they are great too, but LBT has always been my first choice for forum posting.

Thank you Alex, and thanks to all the moderators. It truly truly is a thankless job.

Have a great weekend to all!

      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.
