Lets also try to do a local get together for a walk or bike ride on the Burke Gilman (Bothell to Seattle area) or Sammamish River Trail (Woodinville to Redmond)

Bummer! I'd like to meet all the famous people too! ;-) But we'll be in Paris. OK, so maybe not so much of a bummer.

The bummer will be I'll have just started week 6 or 7 and soft foods while we're there. Give me strength against bread, nutella, sausages, bread. And bread. But at least there's a possibility I'll be able to shop for clothing this time. :-)

And that no mean old lady will call me fat again.

Okay everybody! How does a potluck on September 14th at our house (Lake Stevens area) from 2-5pm sound? If we have a few folks that can come- we'll plan on having it! PM me for our address- more info to follow.

I'm going to cancel our get together since I only heard one person could come. :(. Maybe we'll try again later!

      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.
