Cirque De Soleil does many different shows...the one we saw was Zumanity. It was hilarious for me, because we sat on the front row and the show was MC-ed by a transvestite who obviously had the hots for my husband, and kept winking at him throughout the entire show! (Hubby is MAJOR redneck and homophobic, so I just thought this was hilarious!) And at the end, he ended up talking to us and taking us onstage for a spotlight dance, which was very cool!

"The Rat Pack Is Back!" is a group of four amazing guys who act as The Rat Pack (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Frank Sinatra and Joey whats-his-name...the comedian one). They were so good, that if you closed your eyes you would swear it was really them! All of them! And it's dinner theatre, so they serve up a fantastic steak dinner, where the service is some of the best I've ever experienced.

OK, I just posted this on the June 2007 thread, but thought I'd post it here too... I know BG is giving up the sugar... I need help. Lol.

I NEED TO SWEAR OFF SWEETS! I've been trying, but the devil has me by the tastebuds!! All day long at work I was climbin the walls NEEDING chocolate. I mean in a nearly violent way... It's so sad. I've purged my house of junk sweets. I can't even keep Peanut Butter cause I'll sit here and eat the whole jar! Same thing with the pancake Syrup. I equate it to an alcoholic drinking mouthwash for what little alcohol is in it. Its a serious sickness.

A few weeks ago I took up crochet. I'm self taught and have whipped up 5 1/2 scarves so far. It keeps my mind and hands busy, it's hypnotizing. BUT tonight I'm sitting here working on a scarf for my mom (yarn is multicolored - shades of light pink, pink, tan, and light green) I'm craving sugar so badly that everytime the yarn color transitions from pink into the tan I think of slightly melted strawberry ice cream with chocolate syrup!!! I can even freaking taste it!

So. In a mad mad dash to the kitchen I go. NO SWEETS! (except sugar free Jello which would take too long to set up and be edible) Then I came up with the idea of making cookie dough... I have flour, sugar, eggs, vanilla... all the stuff I need. And DAMMIT!!! I DON'T want to do it. If I make it up I'll sit here and eat cookie dough all night... Like I used to. My band doesn't seem to care if I eat cookie dough.

Help?!?!

Take a teaspoon of granulated sugar and eat it.

Do it twice if you must. It may very well take care of that sugar crave you have and it's not loaded with fat and other calories.

That's the only suggestion I have.

ZZ the best thing I did was lay off the powder. I do not crave it anymore. You seriously just have to get through the first few days of hell. Allow yourself some fruit, it helps. Stevia if you drink coffee or anything. Stay off of the splenda, aspartame, etc (chemical shit storms) they will just make you crave more. I'll tell you I am on my period right now and I am fine. Not craving a damn thing. I even still have over half of the pint of soy ice cream (sweetened with friut juice) I bought the other day, not because it is gross, but because I am able to take 2 spoonfuls at a time and be satisfied with that. Also the Silk Very vanilla soy milk (purple carton) tastes just like a vanilla milk shake. It is a little bit higher in calories and fat than the regular Silk but it is very delicious. Also if you want a sweet type bar to eat Larabars are friggin awesome. Every flavor I have tried have been delicious. They are going to become my new energy bar of choice while running long sidtances and riding. All natural, no sugar, no chemicals. Yummmmmm.

Anyhow sorry I was not here last night. I would have suggested a hot shower, masterbation, and sleeping.< /p>

Lol... Nice suggestions there... I did do the sleeping thing, but not until about midnight. I'll try all three if the Devils Cravings attack me tonight. :P

      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.
