Hehe, Susan, there's about a million posts there with fragments of that damn sentence you were trying to get out!!! :drum: I saw your post about the psychiatrist being at the bash and it made me want to ask everyone:

How was it?! Who went!? Did you get pictures?

The bash was fantastic. Great speakers,great food, very nice rooms, organized. Excellent week-end.It was very informative.Inspriational.There was about 60 people friday night and the whole group lost approx. 3500 lbs. There was a person from Austrlia, Yellowknife and Winnipeg.Everyone was very friendly. I would recommend this bash .Well worth the money. I didn;t take pictures hopefully someone did.

Susieq321 - Could you pls give me the names of the Plastic surgeons that were present. Did they sound good? Did they show you any pics? Did they specialize in plastics for weight loss patients? I would like to have my cousin come from Italy for the surgury.

We had three plastic surgeons speak Dr Kraden, Dr Kreidstein and Dr Dupere. They all have experience with weight loss patients and they were all nice. I really personally liked Dr Kradjen. My PS is Dr Sliwin who I wouldn't switch from for love nor money because I really like him. I have heard great things about a lot of PS's. Go with who you really like personally. You will want to have more than one procedure done.

I also like Dr. Kradjen. I was so sure that I Was going to have PS when I get to goal, but after that session, I realized that I am going to have to wait and see how comfortable I am. It is very much genetic and your own personal vision if you need it or not.

      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.
