Hi all:

Just wanted to post some pics from our NYC meet and greet. I hope this encourages some of you to do the same in your areas. Thanks to all who attended...and a special thanks to Alex...it was such a pleasure to meet you and to thank you in person for creating this site.

I'm the curly haired brunette in the blue print shirt. Tracy is wearing the red blouse with the scarf. Lisa is the blonde and her hubby Ken is next to her. Alex is wearing the white shirt. He really does look just like his picture...LOL.

How fun!! You all look great! I'd love to have a meet & greet here in SoCal. I've only seen one person on here, who is local and went to my surgeon. Haven't seen him post in a long time, though.

Alex, it's hard to imagine that you were ever heavy :-) Would love to see your before & after pix :-)

You rock! Thanks a mill for arranging the meet n' greet!

Later on this year we plan on creating local BariatricPal chapters in every state. These chapters will hopefully facilitate more personal and close interaction between members by organizing local events and meetups.

      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.
