Oh yeah, coachcher, that would be for the entire conference,, and if for any reason that would change and my husband has to cancel coming, I would be happy to share the extra bed with another single lady at that time. Thanks Sugrbear

I'm in. Where are you thinking of holding the conference? Or did you post and I miss it (re-reading, I see that I was unclear. What venue specifically are you thinking of holding the conference in?)

How much will the entry fee be for the conference? I'm thinking about using a sick day to fly down on Friday from Wyoming. My mother lives in Plano & would probably go with me, too!

The cost is $150.00. This includes the cost of the conference plus dinner Friday, and lunch Saturday.

If you want to stay in the hotel the cost will be $99.00 a night.

Cher- How many people do you anticipate will attend? What if we are bringing a support person with us...do they still have to pay the full 150? I don't want to come if I'll be going alone & I don't see my mom wanting to pay 150 to get her skinny butt in the door! :tongue2:

      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.
