I would be willing to meet also, however schaumburg is way to far out for me. I'm in the city 2 miles from downtown, so if anyone is Interested in meeting anywhere in the city I'm up for that.

I think Sunday in Schaumburg will work, though it depends on how I feel, as I'm still pretty sore.

lol, I started this thread and M.I.A for a bit, came back to find a meet up being planned in Schaumburg. I apologize, but I can't make it :( I put this thread months ago but no one responded so I gave up on the idea. I still want to wet up a meet up as well before summer is over! (even if it will be a 2nd meet up for some of you)

I have been so busy working with movie pre production that will prob come out next year hopefully at a big screen near you!

Also running my mom's jewelry business and my Wrap business skin tightening and health, skin care products.. if anyone is interested let me know :)

Even if we can't have a huge reunion maybe a couple of us can get together for some coffee or ice tea?

Sherry, I don't want to push you out and about too fast, I didn't want to go be social the first week after surgery! So far it sounds like me and Skye can get together, with a Sherry-maybe. Any thoughts on where? I'm so used to planning restaurants for get-togethers, and that's a habit I should really get out of!! Maybe we can take this offline to regular email - if you're potentially interested in meeting in Schaumburg this Sunday, email me at katcrowder@gmail.com, and I'll put us all in an email discussion thread.

I was sleeved on 7/24 in Hobart. The first few days were rough. Once I got the JP out on Monday, I felt great! I am now on day 3 of full liquids, down 14lbs and so glad it's finally done!

      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.
