I got one of those 'casino cards' just to get the discounts on the buffets.

That was a weird feeling...they gave me a deck of cards and all this information on how to swipe the card at gaming tables and slots.

I've been to Vegas proably 9 times in my life and have not gambled once...not even a slot machine.

The food is great! The art, magnificent! Fun! Fun!

Went to the Venitian for the first time and WOW! A tear came to my eye, it was so beautiful! That will be the closest I ever get to Italy.

:)Praise the Lord for ALL His infinite wisdom and mercy!!!!!!!!

Well, my DH had his ultrasound today, and we should have the results tomorrow, Lord willing. I think it's going to be OK either way, he just can't stand to wait for the results. he even had pain when they did the US today, so I don't know.

Oh, by the way, I can't have my surgery because I don't have $5,000 up front. Mom said we should call the company to complain. they cover everything else 80%, why not this? We don't understand it, and we work at a hospital! you would think that they would want their employees to get healthy through this, but whatever. I am hanging in there, praying for the best! I know I want the weather to straighten up, so I can get moving and exercise!

Well, may we all have a blessed day with Jesus!!!!!!!:sneaky::drool:

I would contact the insurance company, perhaps you can file an appeal and request that you not have to pay the $5000 up front. I would give it a try at least ...

Melissa - I will be praying for you :mad2: May God's will be done!

All you need to do is come on here, read, and post. No rules - well I'm sure there are about language and attacking others etc - but that's not an issue on this thread!

Hugs and Prayers for all of God's children!!

Hello everyone, glad to be back. I have had the flu and I'm still feeling weak. I am also trying to ween myself off of being on here so much. Glad to see this site is growing.

StepofFaith, I send my prayers and best wishes out to you. Keep in touch. Don't forget to walk, sip, walk and sip.

Be blessed everyone and have a beautiful Easter.

      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.
