Lets organise a weekend



Recommended Posts

or something. We could meet somewhere like Sydney or if there is somewhere more central for everyone we could do that too. Now that the wedding is over I have more time on my hands. Anyone interested?

I could definitely do a weekend in Sydney. The flight there would be cheaper than petrol money to get me to Albury/Wodonga lol. I'm easy as far as timing goes, except for Dec 1st - 14th as we'll be in the Maldives.

Are they doing that conference thing in Canberra again this year or have I missed it already?

Jess,

The conference is being held in 2007 so you havent missed it again :)

Im up for whatever the majority can do, how many could make it to Sydney?

Sydney would be a stretch for me - the flights are cheap, but nothing else about going to Sydney is.

Albury / Wodonga / Renmark etc would be great. I could drive there easily, and car-pool with local gals to cut the cost.

What is the conference in Canberra? When is it? I heard aus_colleen mention it at our Melb lunch, but didn't find out what it was all about...

I have heard that Lake Hume in the Albury area has a resort which is supposed to be very good and reasonable prices. Beechworth is also a pretty decent place for the ladies, lots of craft shops and of course the famous bakery. There is an old convent there which has accommodation. It is called the "Priory" i think. Lots of schools use it.

I loooooooooove Beechworth - most of all for its deadly bakery lol. The best pies in the world, I reckon. The old prison that just closed up there is beautiful too.

      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.
