Pensacola Meet Up



Recommended Posts

Okay, thought I would toss this out there for anyone that is interested in joining us ! ! !

Myself and Vinny Mac from OH are trying to plan a lunch date for us VSG'ers in the area.

We plan on meeting in Pensacola for lunch. Plan on it being a long lunch, and maybe some shopping while we're down there. He'll be driving in from Mobile, and I'll be coming from Navarre so I can pick up a couple on the way.

He's not a member over here to my knowledge, but we can all correspond via email, or phone if you want to join us.

We're trying to pick a decent place that can accommodate everyone regardless of which food stage they might be on. I think Mexican food is the easiest because Beans, cheese and soft meats are available.

So, if you're out here in our neck of the woods, and would like to get together with fellow VSG'ers, please either reply to this post, or shoot me a message so I can get invites out, and at least get a decent head count. Even if you haven't talked to me directly, DO NOT BE SHY LOL ! ! ! I don't bite (not hard anyways), and we're just going to get together to enjoy each other's company, and meet each other.

We have NOT chosen a specific date as we're waiting to hear from a couple of others. It will definitely be in January, and I'm thinking on a Saturday or Sunday.

I look forward to seeing everyone ! ! !

Not sure if I can, I am in Birmingham, AL. We only have one car at this time so any time I do road trips, I have to do a rental or take Amtrak if traveling to New Orleans. This sounds like so much fun.

I haven't heard back from Vinny, so I'll message him again this weekend and see if we can get the date sorted.

I have plans the last weekend of this month, and the first weekend in February is our 3rd year marriage anniversary so I'll be spending that with my husband.

      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.
