I was sleeved 9/2/14, right after I moved to Prescott, AZ. I'm having a hard time motivating myself to go out and be active in a new area without any buddies. I'm game for anything...hiking, jogging, gym, dancing, ice skating, martial arts, horseback riding (have horse, will travel :-D), you name it! Message me if you are in the area!

I lived in Prescott for eight years - loved it! Went to ERAU, met my husband, married and had our first child there - just seeing your post brings many warm memories flooding back. There is sooo much to do there - although back when we left the only things seemed to be Whiskey Row or one of two movie theaters - except the movie always traveled from the one to the other, so it really was like only having one theater :-D. we have family there so we are able to marvel at how much Prescott has grown since we left. As newbie in town I would get a gym membership and take some classes and try to make friends there - stroll around the square when there is a tent event. Oh! Beware "The Devil's Pantry" on Whiskey Row - they serve deep fried everything! My Brother in Law owns the joint and I tease him all the time about the double fried hot dog :-D

Hang in there - those 360 days of sunshine a year will get you out and about - I miss Arizona but we are ensconced here in Seattle so we settle for visiting.

      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.
