Hi Chris, good to hear from you. I have not heard a peep from her. I did check a while back on when she had been on here last and it had been a long time. I guess maybe she wants it that way as she has never gotten back in touch with me after I tried to get a hold of her. I do hope she is ok though. Good on you with that 60 lbs.! I am in a holding pattern right now but am sure I will start losing again soon.

We've been doing a lot of quading. Last weekend we camped with about 4 other families in Powell Canyon which is about 15 miles south of Hawthorne. We road all over those mountains! We went up to Aurora and Bodie and then back across the highway and up over to Cabin under the Rock. You can view Boundry Peak from there. It's pretty awesome!

sounds like fun!! we have not ridden alot this year. It has just been too dry and I have been scared of the fire danger. My brother is a fireman with Sierra fire and the stories he has told me from this summer will curl your toes!!

I really like them a lot too. Laurie does my fills and she's so sweet. I like all the staff there. I like Watson...there was just that one thing. I realized though when I thought about it that the hernias are so common he probably just didn't think of it since it was no big deal. One of the girls who works at the desk gave me a bunch of recipes when I was in there for a fill on Monday. Now how sweet is that. They were her own from her desk and she made me copies. From reading some of the

messages on the boards here, we are very lucky to have such a great, competent and friendly place!!!

just 20 min south of Reno....

I live in between Spanish Springs and Palamino Valley...about seven miles from the Albertson's (it's renamed now and I can't think of what it's called)..I adopt dogs and cats from the Humane Society so we had to be a bit out but not too far. That would drive me nuts.

      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.
