Sierra Vista is about 160 miles from Mesa. It usually takes me about 2.5. Hrs to drive down there. I really need to get down there. I miss the San Pedro River Valley!

I live about 25 miles from the border of Naco, MX....it takes me about 2 1/2 hours from my house to Casa Grande. As I said, I go to visit my daughter & grandkids about once a month. It's too hard for my daughter to travel with a 3 year & 3 month old.

Deb- it's really beautiful down here. I live by Coronado Natl. Park. There are several places to visit in our area. Bisbee, Tombstone, Ramsey Canyon Reserve, Kartchner Caverns and much more. We are approx 4600ft above sea level, so the temps are cooler. The leaves will begin changing colors on the mountains soon. Ever want to visit, let me know :)

You are welcome! It is really worth the trip. The Huachuca mnts are so beautiful! Tombstone is awesome too, but I'm a little biased ;-)

WOW sounds like a plan to me, my husband and I are always looking for places to visit and I have never been to any of those towns. I would love to come and meet you and tour your town. We will be heading down to the valley Oct 18th and be down there until mid April. My surgery is Oct 22nd, that is coming up fast and I could really use a friend and mentor. PM me if interested with your phone # and we could talk privately...Deb

Hello all. I am in Phoenix. In the process of insurance approval. I lived in Sierra Vista for 2 years and decided that it wasn't for me. I got out of the military and wanted to live in a neutral place, Phoenix.

Buffy-I completely understand. Sierra Vista is a small town & not everyone who has lived here likes it. Not much to do, especially if you're young. We usually go to Tucson for the week end if we just want to get out of town. I was in PHX last week end but it's a bit too hot for me.

We relocated there from Washington DC. Both of us were prior service. It was nice initially from the hustle and bustle of DC but got a divorce and realized my <3 for the city. Sierra Vista is a beautifully diverse city though.

      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.
