Okay ya'll. We need to meet. Seriously. I know that Leslie at OTC is working on getting a support group going, but all of us Bandits really need to get together.

I know a lot of people aren't in Albany, but we could shoot for dinner somewhere at say 7:00? A Tuesday would be good. I know summer weekends are usually pretty full. What do you think?

I say we have a vote and narrow down a date. Put your name down and a good day for you and hopefully we can agree on something:

Leslie - Tuesday, June 24

Hey girl! I would love to meet up with everyone. Unfortunately the next 2 weeks for me are absolutely booked. We have VBS every night next week and the week after that DH and I are taking the church youth group on a summer trip to the beach. So the 24th won't be good for me. Let me look at my calendar......

Pamela- Tuesday July 1st would work for me. Lets see what everyone else thinks.

This is exciting! I know it's probably impossible to get everyone there, but it would be nice. I hope we can find a date that works for everyone!

Leslie, any idea where we will be meeting? Just wondering....

I will be on liquids because I am getting a fill the day before, so just wondering if we are meeting at a restaurant?

How are you doing? Hope things are going well since your port revision.

Where do we want to meet? It doesn't matter to me. If we go to a restaurant, where would ya'll like to go? Pamela, I guess you can have Soup ???

My revision went very well. I'm 100% already and it hasn't even been a week. I've had very minimal pain (mainly from the incision). Today is the first day I've EVER had restriction (well I had some swelling after surgery in April)...boy can I tell a difference. Yea! He only put in 1.5cc on Friday. I don't know if I had any Fluid in there from my original surgery though? I've not been hungry today - it has been so nice not to think about food all of the time - lol

Glad you are doing so well! That's wonderful that you already feel 100%!

It really doesn't matter to me where we eat. Anywhere that serves soup is fine with me. I don't eat in Albany very often so I'm game for anything.

Well, it looks like we have a date! Tuesday, July 1st. I say 6:00 or 7:00 - that will give those that don't live in Albany time to drive here.

Where do we want to meet? I say dinner would be nice? Restaurant?

Here's some of the restaurants here:

  • Italian - Johnny Carinos & Villa Garganos, Mama's pizza, Mellow Mushroom (evil little Italian places that everything there is at least 1000 calories -yum - my weakness)
  • 5-6 Mexican Restaurants (they are all good)
  • Steak Houses - Outback, Longhorn, Logan's Roadhouse, Texas Star
  • Bar & Grills - Applebees, Chili's, Ruby Tuesday
  • Breakfast places - IHOP, Crackerbarrel, Wafflehouses, etc.
  • Japanese - Mikatas - expesive, ShoGun - moderate, Hibachi Express - cheap & Chinese (bunch of those too)
  • Seafood - Red Lobster & Blackbeards

I say no to the buffets - I can't get my monies worth and it's way too much food. But we have CC's buffet, Ryans, Golden Corral & some local places. Of course there is fast food too, but I vote for a sitdown place.

Hey Leslie! All of those sound pretty good. Like I said, I'm game for anything. I know the bar & grill places have Soup and I think the steak houses probably do too. I'm sure I could fine something where ever we decide to go. I'm excited about it, can't wait to finally meet everyone!

      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.
