I second the vote for Arlington (but that is just me being selfish, since I live in Arlington...)

I am moving a message from the local support board here, so as to cast a wider net. Some of us were hoping to organize a local meet-up. If you are from around DC and would be interested in participating, chime in! The more the merrier!!

Let's take a poll for dates: are weekends better for people? A Saturday vs. A Sunday? lunch vs. dinner?

My vote is a Saturday afternoon. How about April 30 or May 14? That gives people time to plan...

As for a place: Lebanese Taverna has small plates packed with Protein... Great food choices for us! There is one at Pentagon Row.

What do you all think? I am just tossing out ideas, hoping to get the ball rolling.

Hi, I am definitely interested in meeting up with some fellow sleevers in the DC metro area. I vote for May 14. Looking forward to it!

I haven't been on the site long and still don't know many people here but I'm down depending on when it is. I am located in Rockville, MD, but I'm willing to drive wherever

      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.
