Biggest Loser is a one time deal, but France has been around forever. You gotta make your own choice. What means more to you?

Hmm..weighing the options here...

Losing weight

or

Going to France

For me it is simple..LOSING WEIGHT

Like Lisa said, France will be there forever. You being bandless Penni, the biggest loser is a great opportunity to continue your journey. I know how important your weight loss is to you and maintaining it and continuing to lose without gaining it back..France has too much fattening food and without a band..WATCH OUT!..Just my opinion

Gosh gee whiz.... I was gonna say do the TV show but Betty makes a good point. Hiking, running and lifting weights..... they would for sure Kill ya. Penni I don't know what to say.... when it rains, it pours.

I'd go to the S. of France and leave them a contact number. Then, if they call you can come back to the states and "play." It just states that you need to be available, not sitting at home! Good luck, Shawn

Yeah - but how often can you go to Cannes and see a film about You & your DH?? That's a one-time event, I think.

So, Penni - any decision?

Ditto!

France with a feature film! :confused: I wouldn't miss it.

Leave BFL a number.

Who are you kidding? Like you'll let John go to France without you? Besides, Betty is right. How are you going to exercise for Biggest Loser with your injuries. Plus, probably hundreds of thousands of people are applying for that show. Biggest Loser is a huge gamble. France is for real. Go to France and buy me stuff.

I don't know that is a tough one....I LOVE TBL...actually have the workout DVD coming to the house. Have been to France and I would love to go back. No help here...

I did have a cousin on Extreme Makeover and to ask her the questions she said she would do the show all over again. She even left her baby when he was just 9 months old for 6 weeks. She is MUCH more outgoing now and her whole personality has changed for the better.

Okay, we're talking about being featured for the CANNES film festival here, folks. That's one of the biggest film festivals out there. It's a huge honor just to have your film in it. The electricity at these film festivals is amazing. I live in Utah and volunteer at Sundance every year. It's SO MUCH FUN. Still haven't had a film in it yet, though.

So maybe you answered this already, but could you do France and then see if TBL calls you? I say if TBL calls and picks you, DO THAT! I'd chuck a France ticket for that opportunity if it was a sure thing.

      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.
