I know it's long shot but if anyone is interested. I am doing a grand opening of a local tattoo shop (crestwood IL) and we will be doing free piercings. I can get a card with the promotion if anyone is interested. Here is a copy of the flyer, but you would need an original. I have a few and can get more if anyone wants one. ~Mandy

Sonia, when you get ready for the piercing, it will be my pleasure to do it at no charge for you. Think of it as my way of rewarding you for all the hard work. Since your inlaws are coming on sat can you sneek away for a little while on sunday? I have a sitter if needed for sunday, even though I will be tired I can make it to Panera. Everyone let me know when you want to do this. ~Mandy

Sweet Violet had PM me and was going to come down on Sat with me. I will let her know that plans have changed. Also I am not sure I can make it. I am at my brother's trying to help him pack to move. They are closing on their house Aug 1st. I am suppose to go home today however.... Last night's strom cause their basement to flood twice (no damage caught it in time) and then at 2 in the morning we found a tree in their swimming pool (was struck by lighting). When it rains it pours......

I am staying to help them today but between helping them and needing to get things done at my place I am not sure I will be able to make it.

Sorry.

Mandy good luck with your surgery.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Here is what I understand from responses for a gathering this weekend.

Sonia ~ could not make it Sat or Sunday

Mandy ~ I am hoping you can still make Sun, I know you said you will be really tired but I hope you can make it.

Lala ~ can you make it this Sunday.

I will call Sweet Violet tomorrow. We talked yesterday but she had to hang up before I could confirm anything with her.

So Sunday at 1 pm Panera in Oakbrook, does this sound okay?

1pm, I will be there. I worked 10 hours yesterday after only a few hours sleep, then I went and picked up my Harry Potter last night, I was pretty far back in line so I didn't get to the register until after 1am. I came home and colapsed into a puddle across the foot of my bed. I am up showered and heading back to work, another 10 or so hours. I will get some sleep tonight and be there tomorrow. ~Mandy

      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.
