That restaurant doesn't sound familiar. Was it there in 1979 - 1983? That's when I was up there. Our favorite, when we could afford it, was Wing Tai. Then there was Dave's Sisters Subs, of course. :)

It's been several years since I've visited, unfortunately. I guess it's about a 5-6 hour drive from where I live now.

I loved the Finger Lakes reqion, and would seriously consider relocating there someday...

HI Barb!

I go to support group in Cooperstown, NY. It meets on the first Tuesday of every month. I don't know if Cooperstown is any closer to you. But, if you want more info, let me know!

I saw that someone here is in Ulster County.... I was JUST down your way the other day, doing some work. SMALL world!

      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.
