New York City and surrounding suburbs meet and greet



Recommended Posts

For those interested, we're doing our first NYC and surrounding area meet and greet. Details below. Hope to see as many as possible.

Date: Saturday, February 8th, 2014

Time: 3:00 PM

Location: Europa Cafe. 1412 Broadway (between 39th and 40th streets)

If we find that we want to do this on a regular basis in future, we'll look for public spaces that aren't necessarily food related

Put me down as a definite....MAYBE...but I am subscribing to this thread to follow it along.

I have to check with my daughter, she is planning a "food and Culture" Tour through Central Greenwich Village....it might be that weekend...

I'm in NJ, but it's a breeze taking a train in....

Weekends are my family time. :-)

Would it be possible to do a weekday another time? I'd really love to do something around 4-5ish during the week.

Perhaps once the weather is nicer we will pull a weekday event together. Don't count it out :)

Hi all:

Now that I know the weather will cooperate, I just wanted to send this out again to remind everyone about Saturday. Some of us have been trying to figure out a way that we can recognize each other but I must admit I don't have any ideas. I'm rather hesitant to carry a flower or some such thing. So...just look around for a curly haired brunette with a cane. That will be me. If anyone has an idea for how to find each other, please say so. See you soon!

Liz

      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.
