Vegas, Baby!



Recommended Posts

I'm getting on a plane in a couple of hours to go to Vegas for a work seminar.

Some good things so far:

Able to pack everything I need in one carryon bag, because my clothes don't take up as much space.

Not worried about who I'll be sitting next to or if I'll make them uncomfortable.

Some not-so-good things so far:

Nobody to go with me.

Some maybe good things:

I've lined up a date for while I'm there.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Some not-so-good things:

What happens in Vegas sometimes shows up on youtube! LOL!

Hope you have a great time!

Side note: It really is crazy how much weight loss impacts your packing. Laundry too!

Sounds like fun! I have never been to Vegas, I would love to go!!

Funny story,I was suppose to go to Maui with pals in Feb but had to cancel due to surgical complications recovery. Last week I was at happy hour with friends and as I am prone to do, I chat with all as I head to the ladies room. A couple of older married guys who like talking (safe, harmless flirting, I have met the wives etc) were talking about a Feb trip to Hawaii so I told them my woes. Mike lights up and says "you should go alone, YOU'D have a great time and no lack of company...and what happens in Maui stays in Maui". I couldn't help but laugh! Truth is I am terrible about this sort of thing, I wouldn't hook up with any one..although I'd probably converse with dozens!

So, had a good flight. Had a good date wednesday. Classes were good on thursday.

Until...

My voice started getting scratchy Thursday afternoon.

Still, went on a date Thursday night.

Woke up this morning with no voice whatsoever. (and the masses cheered)

Now I have enough of it back, deep and throaty, that I could be a phone sex operator.

Went to most of my classes, skipped the last one. Resting in my room now on the 13th floor overlooking the strip, before I go out on another date.

Flight home is in the morning.

      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.
