Oh, lucky you! I would love to do that. How formal do you suspose it is? It would be a shame to have to buy something you will just grow out of.

How exciting for you!! I went on a cruise with my family to Alaska, you will LOVE it! My dr mentioned my last fill that one of his patients was going on a cruise and she asked to be unfilled a little so she could eat more yummy food.

Thrift store idea sounds good..or you could be really tacky and buy something, save the tags and return it. :biggrin:

I hear ya! My son is getting married May 24, 2008 and I have no idea what size I'll be by then. I also need a nice dress for the rehearsal dinner as well as several showers etc. OH NOOOOOO!!!. I'm going to wait until late March and just buy several things maybe 2 different sizes and hope for the best.

      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.
