I won't be able to make it on the 20th, as I'll be on vacation. I hope to join you at some point in the future though!

I'm in MN. There is a thread on the US Local Chapters for the MN folks. I haven't met any of the others from here yet. I'm fairly new.

Awesome! I think there's someone in either Blaine or Champlin. There are only a handful of us from MN.

Where are you at in the process? I'm just getting starting, hoping for surgery in Nov/Dec.

Awesome! I need to lose 25 before my surgery too. Thankfully, my insurance doesn't have the 6 month requirement. I think it's just one thread for MN. Let me see if I can figure out how to post a link.

Welcome Sarah! I currently live in Burnsville, but work in Minneapolis. We are also planning to move north soon... I hope you can make it to the dinners. I went to the first one. It was fun and great to talk with people that know what we are going through. I wish I'd had it when I started over a yr ago...

      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.
