I go out on the snow machine a lot and when I do I will generally see the northern lights. One time we were coming out of Walmart in Anchorage and I looked up and there they were big as life, those were the best I have ever seen. Kinda funny it was right in town.

I WANNA GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a high school teacher. What part of Alaska did you visit? You should bring family (or friends) up and go down to Homer and go out Halibut fishing, its pretty cheap to do and lots of fun. Plus fish is good for us bandsters. :tongue:

Hi Leather!

I was in Anchorage both times. We had to drive up to Palmer for a visit and also went to Seward. I would love to go back up for pleasure next time and rent a couple of Harley's and see the state from the back of a bike. That would be awesome! If I had the money and could have a summer home, that is where it would be!

As an aside, I've never been to Montana but if it is half as gorgeous as Wyoming I would want to have a house there too! LOL

My dad was military, so I actually grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska there near the military base... And I even walked to school in snowboots and snowsuit... what fun.. then we moved to DFW/Texas where it rarely snows, but ices... HOWEVER, yesterday we had a snow storm and it was the biggest snowflakes I've ever seen. Even bigger than the ones in Fairbanks! And just like that, they were gone. Woke up this morning and the streets were clear and now it's sunny and almost all melted. It was fun for one day...

Hi All!

I live in WA State, and was banded on 2.15.08.

So far, so good. I'm hoping to meet some local people, as well as from all over. Support is key, and I'm here to help support as best I can, and also receive support.

I live in a northern suburb of Detroit, Michigan.

I am coming to Detroit for Easter. But I am getting a fill on the Monday before. Can you tell me who your doctor is. I am worried about getting there and having a problem and not knowing a doctor to go to.

Well, I'm from Utah, spent 4 years in St. Louis and loved it. My husband's first job has us out in the-middle-of-nowhere Kansas. It's been nice here, but not where we're going to be staying. I'd like to end up back in St. Louis eventually, but we have at least one other location to go to first. Not sure where yet.

      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.
