HEY CHICAGO!!!! I need your help! I am going to the Oprah Show at the end of the month and I need wardrobe help. I live in Texas down by Houston so I am not used to your weather. Any advice on what to bring with me besides the obvious coat and gloves? Do I need thermals for underneath my pants? I planned on wearing to the show a nice pair of jeans and boots with a black velvet jacket. My mom is freaking out and going out and buying all kinds of tights and coats. My mother in law is from Michigan and she knows how the cold is up there and is not worried about it all but I am a virgin to it all! HELP!!!! :omg: What do you suggest?

Jeans and boots will do fine. Weat a sweater under your jacket cuz it does get a little cold. It is not so bad.

You do not need to go crazy and wear thermals under your clothes. Not like we're eskimos :cool:

The weather in chicago has been very nice lately, 20's and 30's and two weeks ago it was high above 40. You wont freeze to death :)

Thanks! I knew that if I were to bring thermals and things like that, that it would be too much...now if I can convince my mom!!! She is being a total freak about it. But then my parents are weather hounds and the first sign of a black cloud they go into a frenzy....oooooooh. PUHLEASE!!! :cool:

Thanks again!

The one thing I can't live without is a nice scarf to cover my nose and mouth when the wind is blowing. It really does help to keep you warmer all over. ~Mandy (the Chicago tattooed mommy)

      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.
