I wanna come too!!! :eek: Somewhere beachy does definitely sound most appealing...maybe because I haven't actually been to the beach in over 4 years because I refuse to put a bathing suit on. :crying: It really sucks because I love the ocean soooo much...and I need a tan big time!! haha Count me in....Vegas is really not my thing, I gamble enough at Foxwoods so I'd rather stay away! I'm sure alot of you were self pay for the surgery (I wasn't thankfully) so Vegas is not the best place if you're trying to save money (or in my case, paying off alot of debt)!!!

I'm all for Vegas. I live near skiing and still wouldn't ski (bum knee etc.) and you can be beachy in a bathing suit at a pool in Vegas. In fact I think it's the Hard Rock hotel that even has a sand beach at it's pool. Plus it is cheaper to get to generally airfare wise, seems there's always a deal to Vegas. As for gambling, wouldn't have to gamble if you didn't want to.

I agree about being more positive. My family comments on that all the time about me. And I am doing things I never thought I would, i bought a bike! I hiked in the mountains. Who is this woman???

Vegas, Vegas, Vegas! We go at least once yearly and I am MORE than ready to go for this wonderful get together! The nice thing is that there is so much to do with our new friends that if you don't like to gamble (like me) there are plenty of other things to do.

We have to make this happen!

So when is this, sounds like Vegas, gathering? Inquiring minds want to know and save!! Instead of gambling we could shop for new wardrobes!

That would be a neat way to Celebrate our 'bandiversaries'!

We could all go to a buffet together and present our restaurant cards to order from the childrens menus at the same time. Though I still don't think I could get my money's worth at a buffet! And I don't want to! I have done enough of that in the past. I was just joking about the buffet!

      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.
