Would anyone like to formalize this and maybe meet for coffee? I live in Arlington and work in downtown Dallas. From the forums there looks like there was a DFW group but no one has answered my request of whether or not it was still active. Any thoughts or comments??

If we could get alot of people together it would be pretty neat. If you know a way I'm in.

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry I have been extremely busy with work and the holidays. I guess Irving is considered North Dallas area :) I work in downtown Dallas for the moment though. I would be intrested getting together with people for coffee or something on a weekend. I finally have found a dr here in the area and will be getting a fill, I haven't had one in a year and a half. I really need to get back on track. I kind of lost myself over this move and I'm trying desperatly to find myself.

Question for you ladies..

How do you guys cope with the heat and exercising? In CA I was an avid walker and would walk about 8 miles a day. I am training for the 60 mile breast cancer walk in November (I'm doing it in San Diego) and wonder how I am going to cope with the icky weather over the summer. Any suggestions?

      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.
