Oh gosh, I can only hope. I'm ALWAYS hot. I'm such a hotbox. It's going to be wonderful when I'm complaining about freezing my butt off around everyone else, instead of practically sweating when everyone is shivering. Haha. BUT. one little degree is really damn cold. lol

See, that's me. I'm the one who doesn't normally need a jacket when everyone else does because I'm always so hot. The last few days are the exception with this "polar vortex" across the country. But I'm hoping I cool down some. When I am sweaty or too hot I just feel gross and I don't want to feel that way about myself. Nobody does. I'm actually looking forward to finding my new "normal".

February 17th here for me! I am so excited for this journey as well. I am in Michigan as well, but I am going to Beaumont in Royal Oak with Chengeles.

Feb 17th for me also. I'm in AZ and it's warm here. I'm excited and kind of scared also. Going to be a life changing way of eating. From all I read and have been told if I follow the rules and Dr's orders I will do well.

Hope all of us having surgery in Feb can keep in touch for support and encouragement.

Feb 17th for me too, in Chicago! We are getting snow left and right. They are predicting another 10-12 inches on Tuesday night into Wednesday. Wednesday is my 4-hour class. I'm hoping the lousy weather doesn't interfere with anything related to my surgery! :-)

I'm from Chicago and sure don't miss the winter weather there.Where in Chicago are you at? I was in Oak Park. Wed is my pre-op all day class also. How far do you have to go to get to the class? Its 32 miles for me but weather is great. Summers are a challenge.

There are 3 of us having surgery the 17th. We'll all do great.

I'm almost weaned off the caffeine and same goes for the diet coke.

My pre-op class is from 7:30 am - 2:30pm. Going to be a long day but very informing. I'm pretty much weaned off the diet coke caffeine. 2 wks from tomorrow is our surgery. WOW the first day to the beginning of our healthy new life.

Hows the weather there?

Of course we get an ice storm. The day before my pre-op. I'm supposed to have a chest X-ray, EKG, final labs, meeting with the surgeon and her PA and my prep class. All tomorrow. 3 hrs away. I'm chancing it anyway. I'm leaving between 3-4am to be able to drive slow and careful. Jeez

Please drive carefully and let us know you made it there and back safe. Hopefully they'll have the roads salted. Do you have to drive to Chicago?

      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.
