Thanks Lisa. Jack says the diner is a block from the Babylon station? I can google it to know what direction to go towards...or if you can give me a landmark or two, I should be able to find it. Or feel free to wait for me at the station so I can walk with you and not get lost... ;) I'll send you a text before the date just to coordinate.

I want to thank everyone for the kind words of encouragement. I just received a call from my insurance carrier saying my pre determination has been approved.

I've been relentlessly calling Blue Cross and the surgeons office since Monday. I don't think they like me very much right now but I was not willing to accept anything less than an all out effort on their part.

Everyone's support here on this site as well as at home gave me the strength to push through.

Thanks again to all of you. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 17th.

Hi all:

Did well last night at our holiday party. I had too much dessert...but did not overeat otherwise. Talked more with the therapist about why I'm struggling with the food but will also likely look to get another fill after the new year.

Got exact directions to the coffee shop from my boyfriend so I'll be on the 12:25 that gets me to Babylon at 1:44. He said it wouldn't take five minutes to get to Jacks. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Liz

Hi,

Congrats on 10 weeks out!!! How are you doing? Tomorrow I will be 4 months post op and down 56 pounds. I am in a stall right now, but it happens to everyone, so I just embrace it.

I look forward to meeting you Saturday. We will be meeting at Jack Jacks coffee House in The Town of Babylon @ 2 pm. I will post the address for everyone later in the week.

Hi all:

Just texted with Lisa. I won't be there unfortunately. It's not even weather related. I'm going through a pain flare and even with being on steroids, my back is not good. I'm so sorry I'll miss you all. Was so looking forward to this afternoon. If you cancel...or even if you don't...please know that I'm already anticipating the next meeting.

I am out and about this morning. (Neither rain nor sleet nor ... shall stop me from getting gray roots covered!). Main roads are slushy but fine. Side streets are a mess but it is raining now so should get washed away soon.

I really wanted to be there but I'm going to pass on today. I'm 5 days post op. Doing really well. Recuperating at my girlfriends house in north babylon. I'm hoping we can all meet up sooner than later. Can we shoot for the week between Christmas and new years?

      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.
