Hi Cactusflower...

I think there are at least 3 or 4 of us that are interested in doing this. I just had a similar note yesterday from a Henderson person, but she will be on vacation until July 2nd.

I think the District at Green Valley is a good place. There are several outdoor sitting areas. Especially in the moring when it is cool.

I am just getting back to feeling normal after my banding on the 5th. I would be glad to work with you to set up a first meeting. Maybe more would come if we posted it here.

What do you think?

I think that would be fabulous. I know of a couple of Henderson people (mominlv13 and yvonne72) that would probably be interested. The District sounds good. If mornings, I think a Saturday morning would be best because of most people's work schedules.

Ok! Maybe the best way to make this happen is to send an email to each person individually - in case they aren't looking at the board right now. What do you think? We could go for next Saturday.

I'll be in San Francisco on the 28th. :) Anyway to do this the first weekend in July?

I am still up for seeing who I can get this weekend, too!

I'd love to! I posted to VegasGrace on the other thread about this weekend and said I was game.

When and where? I am up very early, so nothing is out of the question. I'll be there with bells on!

Anyone who wants to join, let's do it!:frown:

I just spoke to Fran (mominlv13) and she and I are very interested in meeting with everyone. Unfortunately, Sunday morning is definitely out because she works on Sunday and I go to church. Sunday afternoons would be fine for both of us.

      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.
