Well do we want to meet for coffee? What area of town works best for everyone?

Which clinic in TO are you getting banded at? There is a luncheon in Calgary this weekend for those banded by the SWLC and I was wondering if anyone was going?

I think I will be going to the luncheon on Saturday, I'm just looking for a babysitter. Anybody else?

I will plan a get together, what time of day and day of week works for most?? Maybe we should meet at a restaraunt so we can reserve a table for us. Ant suggestions? Would downtown work??

Most weekday evenings work for me and downtown is fine too!

I am registered for the luncheon so perhaps I will see you there.

      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.
