umm depends on what kind of place we want to meet at.. i'm like umm. do we want to meet at a cafe/restaurant or some other type of place. My thought where to find a coffee/tea house that way folks could sit and chat.. and not have to worry about food. Will have to look around for some where. i know the wildflower bakery in chandler mall tends have groups that meet there as they have some large tables that can sit a bunch of folks but not sure if the location is suitable.

Sounds good so far! I am a west valley girl at heart so don't know many east valley locations. I have been to the chandler mall though once with work! Lol

Come on people we need more input!!

There's a tea shop at Tempe market place that would be great and there seems to be plenty of outdoor seating as well. The bakery inside chandler mall would be perfect too

Did you have the same tall good looking Anesthesiologist I had? That was my only complaint about the surgery center- they wouldn't let me take him home! I know he would have made me feel better quick ;) lol- guess I shouldn't assume you are a woman as I can't see your profile and your screen name is Hope lol

How are you doing?

Lol, I did! I recall telling the nurse and my husband how cute he was! I am doing well, the first few days were rough but I feel like I'm learning to read my body and the band better. Having my first fill next week, nervous and excited! How are you ?

      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.
