D/FW Area



Recommended Posts

Hmmmm, let's see...... I wonder if Texas Stadium is available for a get together? LOL There certainly are a bunch of folks in here from DFW, not to mention Texas. How about Pappadaux's? On the north side of Dallas, right there by central expressway. I'm not sure of the cross street.

I would suggest something like the civic center in McKinney, but some of the DFWers might get lost if they get outside of the George Bush...hehehe

Other's thoughts on the subject?????

Not familiar with the Central Expressway Pappadeuxs, but do know the one at 35 and Northwest Highway...

Would the Lewisville area be a good one? No Pappadeuxs, but there are lots of restaurants by Vista Ridge?

Just throwing out ideas...

Hi guys. I live in Keller and work in Coppell (near Lewisville / Irving / Grapevine area). Either one of those places would be ok with me. I don't know Dallas all that well, but I can find my way anywhere - just not back again ;-).

Holy cow Tammy - size 8?????? Big congrats there!!!

Terri, it ain't nearly as bad as you can make it out to be in your mind. Think of the WORST thing that could happen, short of dying, and you won't come anywhere near that.

Janet, don't feel bad, we have to drive about 35 miles just to go to the dang Walmart. And that's an impressive list.....just forgot OOOoooooone little thing. Where is the Jason's Deli???? LMAO (it's a joke, people...)

LOL, you're right, though, I should post it here as well!

Hmmm, I'll wait until we have a time set & then post the details here.

Terri, the surgery really wasn't that bad. I had worked myself up into a lather, but Mikey (my hubby) talked me down. He had me start listing all the reasons I was doing it -- while deep breathing. I went to sleep waiting for the surgery center to get setup, lol. I don't remember a thing after getting my IV! :D

So my advice, breathe!!

      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.
