Would be nice to have a roadie in the car with me if I decide to drive!

Isn't someone in Florida? (EDITED REALLY QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE NOTICED MY IDIOCY?!)

That'd be me...I'm in Jacksonville FL (northeast corner). Where bouts are you again?

I'm still trying to figure out money and whatnot, but I think DH is ok with it....we're not used to being apart (seriously...almost every minute not at work is spent together, or at least at the same physical location, so this will be a new one if i get to go...LOL)

You name it, they have it, altho April is a bit "early" in the season... the region is more a winter (skiing) & summer (boating, Water sports) area.

Off the top of my head, they have... boating, white Water rafting, horseback riding, antiquing, a spa, biking, hiking, nature trails & waterfalls, historic areas... altho last week we mostly just hung out around the cabin enjoying the fireplace & hot tub, w/a few nature walks in the gorgeous woods & along the lake each day!

If you'd like to see some photos from last week, go to: Photoblog & Muses - David S. Raimist

It's my dh's photo blog.

No, he's not a professional, but a paid hobbiest. He has had several exhibits + sells his work at a few places. He enjoys it but fears it becoming a "job". We joke that he was a hidden artist beneath his computer nerd exterior! :mad:

Panda- I'm NE Alabama (Huntsville). It takes me 6 hours about to get to Panama City Florida, it's a straight shot down 65, if that helps at all as to where I'm located.

Those are great pics! I'm in for antiquing, drinking, chatting, uhm.. I like nature walks too as long as it's nothing steep.. I have a bad central balance and I fall quite easily. I loved horseback riding, then in high school my friends pointed out the 'poor horse' in a picture of me riding.. and I've never gotten back on one since! Hopefully by April I'll weigh a decent enough weight to be on a horse! Ohhh and SPA! I'm all about spas.

I love hiking and taking pictures and shopping and sitting on my butt drinking wine and talking and laughing. I don't have any fears about lacking things to do!! We'll have a ball no matter what!

      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.
