Buffalo Bound this weekend!



Recommended Posts

I know this is a silly thing to get excited about but I can't WAIT!!! DH and I are going to Buffalo for the wknd to shop. We are hitting a TARGET!!!! (for any non-Canucks reading this, there are no Targets in Canada)....whooo hoooooo......I'm gonna get me some much needed (smaller) bras and underwear!!! Of course we'll hit the big Walden Galleria Mall which is next to the Target as well!!!

The in-laws live in Niagara Falls (Canuck side) so we'll stop and visit them, of course, on the way back!!

We normally go away every year for a trip (ie. Mexico last year) but it doesn't look like it will happen this year....so this is my mini-trip!! LOL. Hey, I'll take what I can get!!!!!!

We always refer to the thrift stores as "boutiques". The best ones for clothes seem to be the womens' ones, WIN (women in need) etc. I know a lot of women who will donate only to those stores.

Hi Kimmason,

I had to wait until my vacation time at work, as i didn't want to tell them what i was doing for sick time. as far as how i'm doing, don't be fooled, 275 is just my all time high, right now, i have gone from 200 to 232 in about 6 months!

      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.
