BariatricPal Meet and Greet Opportunity in San Diego @ WLSFA Event with Carnie Wilson



Recommended Posts

Wish I could go to tell my story and meet you both....I only had 9 months left to live in March this year when I had my op....with my 25kg loss so far with the Omega loop gastric bypass I would be an inspiration to this new procedure. It saved my life....Carnie Wilson was always an inspiration to me and the 80's and 90's were my fondest era for music...then watching her procedure and how open she was about it...I too wish I could get the message out....life changing...Anyway hope you all have fun.....One day when I have the money I will be there! Best regards to all leanne Perth, Western Australia.

So I was reading the small print on the registration page and if you don't stay at the Manchester it is another 100.00 fee for the event making it 200.00 to attend??? What if we have family to stay with as I was going to visit and attend the conference. Just doesn't make sense to charge more if people live in San Diego or have family there. Thanks for clarifying this.

Here is what I am reading:

Early Bird Ticket 6/1/2014 - 12/31/2014 Discounted tickets for event attendees staying in the Manchester Grand Hyatt April 10,11 2015 in the Discounted WLSFA Room Block. Proof of room reservation must be presented at the event registration desk to receive access to the event. If not staying at the Manchester Grand Hyatt an additional $100 fee per ticket will be charged for access to the event.

Yes it would be a lot of fun! I would of course go through BP.com - I will know before the Earlybird specials expire.

      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.
