I have been in KY 6 months and still haven't made it up to Cinci!! It is on my list of places to check out. Anything fun I should check out in Cincinnati?

Reds Opening Day is next week that is always a party! Or just come up for a game on a weekend (maybe when its a little warmer). When Reds are in town in the summer, there is usually a nice crowd around downtown, people mingling on Fountain Square, etc.

Right across the river in Newport, Ky there is a fun area of shopping, the Acquarium, bars and restuarants called Newport on the Levy.

The Aronoff Center for Arts and Playhouse in the Park are both great places to see a play. I think there is lots to do, it all depends on what you like.

Yes the Reds are baseball!!!! It's fun to go to a game even if you aren't into baseball. And the Newport Acquarium is really good and they just built a whole new penquin section. Enjoy!

Hey guys! Yes the aquarium is beautiful I went just bout 2 years ago. Anyways I live in

Lexington but from louisville. I have friends in cin so I go there a few times a year. Where exactly are u from? Anyways I am married with 2 kids and have been struggling with my weight for about 6 yrs now (after kids and depo shots). I dont have alot of fam support cos they can be the most cruel so I went online to find support from people who actually understand. I have 120 pounds to lose and after all this dieting, it seems next to impossible but these success stories give me much hope.

Nothing serious is wrong, its just the gas pain is just horrible for me. I am prolly a big baby, but its just so much worse than I expected.... ugh. I cant wait for this part to be over! For me it all went down hill after they took my precious pain pump away in the hospital lol. THey still gave me pain medicine, but it was SO hard to choke that down, it still is! I can barely get it down! Yuck! Today is better than yesterday, and hopefully tomorrow will be better than today! GOOD Luck on your surgery!! :) I Have to keep telling myself, I'm doing this for a reason, and no pain no gain! OR loss in our case! :)

      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.
