We are going to be up that way that weekend...staying with the SIL to go to Bryson City, NC for a festival with the kids. So I might be able to do something...would you mind on if the whole family (DH & DS plus some friends were there?)

Oh that would be so much fun...hopefully something will work out. :D

Hmm, I'm not sure what I'll be up to that weekend yet. I am in Asheville and would love to meet you guys! That will be after my initial consult with Dr. B so it would be nice to meet some bandsters. Let me know if you need any suggestions on places to go. I've lived in Asheville my whole life so there are too many places around here that I haven't eaten.

PhotoNut, what are you going to be here for? Are you going to be in Asheville itself or just the surrounding area? A gathering would be great! I too hope we can work something out!

Hey Tonya :)

I'll be in the surrounding area for the week following for a photography workshop. I'm really looking forward to the week and to finally getting to give some real life hugs to some of my adopted bandster family in NC! Hope you can make it!

P'nut and fellow GFG Club member....I'm in Asheville - actually Waynesville, 30 minutes west of Asheville. I'd love to get together for a group meet. How great would that be?!? I was in Asheville all day today for a long overdue day off (shopped til I dropped).....what a great town. You will love the mountains of Western North Carolina.

Keep me informed as to what you guys decide and DH and I will be there.

Ok, so I bought my ticket and I will be in for sure on the afternoon of the 16th (Sat). Has anyone decided definitely that they can be in or near to Asheville on that night?

I'm thinking of around 6pm. Kathy will have a 2hr drive to get home! Crazy girl. *laughs*

Tonya, could you PM me with a few options for hotels that are nice but not terribly spendy and in a good part of town since I'll be very new to that area, I'd also like one that's fairly close to the highway. Thanks!

Oh and if anyone can't make it Sat night, I'll be meeting FunnyDuddies and her family for brunch the next morning. Anyone is welcome to join us for that as well. :D

      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.
