Tennessee, Anyone?



Recommended Posts

Oak Ridge or Maryville TN Schools are said to be great. Drugs are everywhere. You can't hide from drugs you just have to be vigilant and talk to your children.

I couldn't agree more! Being proactive is the only way because drugs are everywhere! They ate worse now than ever before! My cousin overdosed last night! She is such a beautiful amazing young 22 up lady but she has a serious problem and most people wouldn't know by looking at her.

Good luck with your search!

Thanks guys! We have the drugs here too but not a huge problem. We visit Nashville often and like the area just not sure about the living conditions.

Chatt, Knox, and Nashville are really nice areas. I moved from Chicago to Memphis, so pretty much anywhere is a far cry better. There are very nice areas in Memphis as well.

How would you compare the weather? I hate the winters in IL but also dislike the humidity in IL. But love our fall here.

The weather in Memphis is nicer year round than Chicago. Humidity in summer after rain sucks.....one thing that freaked me out when I first moved here, it rained in the summer and steam was coming off the ground. I don't think I can stomach Chicago winters anymore. Winter in Memphis is cool as long as we don't get an ice storm, for some reason everything freezes instead of slushing like up north.

      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.
