This is awesome! I'm from St. Louis and I live in Ballwin right now so that's not too far. I also love the idea of a clothing swap/exchange/sell type thing.

Also I bought a big box of upcal, Calcium that you put into a drink. I can't stand it but that could be because anything I had the first week after surgery reminds me of being sick, so I can't have any of it anymore.

I'll bring the box and you guys are free to take as much as you want.

I also have three fourths of a bottle of sugar free hazelnut Torani Syrup. I don't know if that's gross but I swear I haven't put anything in it! I just hate to waste it but I don't like it.

I have some nice work clothes that I just bought before surgery. I could probably sell them but it is a hassle and I'd rather give them away to people I know are going to appreciate them and pass them on when they can't use them anymore!

Are we simply trading clothes or can we also sell them? I've got some nice ones that if they don't sell, I'd love to give away but would like to try to sell them first.

Hi EmmaLindsey - that is fine if you want to put a price on them. We'll just let everyone know some items are for sale and some items are for free.

Great question! I should have asked for RSVPs...can everyone let me know as I have prepared workbooks for everyone to keep and use at each meeting. I also have a give-away - we'll draw names. I'll have ice and Water available.

Thanks!

      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.
