Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Anyone up for a meet and greet this weekend?

I have to admit I am not a fan of buffets... BUT, I am willing to go if it means meeting up and saying Hi.

I am going to post in a couple of other places as well, see if I can generate some more interest.

Hi! I am up for it. Are you all by any chance in Henderson? We could do the District on Sunday morning. Lots of outdoor area and a coffee shop where you can get sugar and fat free drinks! :)

Just checking in.....

you guys go ahead. Have fun! Sunday isn't good for me.

I'll catch you later.

Btw, I'm new to Vegas....live over at Nellis. I have a map and can get around a bit, but am still learning. I've heard of Henderson...but have no clue where that is.

Vegas Grace,

Sorry you can't come, we will miss you.

I go to Nellis at least once a month. Just FYI: To get to The District in green Valley, you would take I-15 South to 215 East. Take the Green Valley exit off of the 215. Go about 1/4 and you will see The District on your right! Very easy.

We'll miss ya, Grace. Maybe we can meet at Cannery or somewhere near there someday. I live behind Shadow Creek golf course; my roommate is Army and he wanted a house close to base.

Sunday is the sabbath, so those are always out for me.

But if anyone ever can do a Saturday or any other day during the week...I'm up for it.

Yes, I know where the Cannery is. I guess anything in Vegas around the strip/ I-15 area would be good.

Hope to meet another bandster- haven't in a year...but I know they are out there.

We will be in Las Vegas in July on vacation. I had my lap band done the end of April. I know this may sound silly, but do any of you have suggestions for what kind of drinks I could order when playing the tables since diet soda is out? I am not a fan of wine and would like to get something besides coffee & Water. Also suggestions for reasonable places to eat would be appreciated, especially where it would be OK to share a plate with my husband. We will have a rental car and will be staying out on Boulder Highway. Thanks, Sharon from OKC

Sharon,

I order V8 juice or iced Decaf coffee; you can also get iced tea. Or, bring along some individual packets of crytal light and put them in your bottle of Water.

There are so many places to eat - I can't begin to narrow them down. If you have a lapband card, you can ask at any of the buffets to use it as a child's entry. I have found most restaurants very accommodating.

Enjoy your trip and have good luck!

Ugh, plans changed for this weekend I shall remain in Vegas. I need to get out more, dammit!

Anyone up for coffee, a meal, or a walking date (love to walk the air-conditioned malls in the heat; even window shopping for 3-4 miles is burning calories!)?

      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.
