Hello, everyone, just wanted to let you all know what a fabulous holiday weekend I had. First off, I was able to meet Penni, and I have to tell you all she is even more wonderful and beautiful in person. She treated my kids and I too a wonderful lunch and I'm only sad that we didnt' have more time to spend together. She is just awesome and sooooooooooooo beautiful. After we left Penni, we went to check into our hotel in Orlando, it was fabulous, our room was really nice, with an awesome view, there were three pools at the resort and four restaurants and best of all, I had a facial at their spa. Really nice. The kids and I spent all Sat afternoon by the pool, they had a blast, we didn't leave the pool until 8:30 that night, boy they were pooped. My husband got there about 9 pm, so it was too late to go out and do anything (too band we didn't have a sitter up there, cause I sure would have liked to go out on the town.) I tried talking my husband into going downstairs to hang out at one of the restaurants but he was tired from working all day and then driving up. Well on Sun, we had planned to go to SeaWorld,but the kids didn't want to go, they wanted to go back to the pool, and that was perfectly fine for us. So we spent all day by the pool, had a couple of drinks and played w/ the kids. We had such a wonderful time, that afternoon we went out to dinner and hung out at downtown Disney, the kids rode the train and the carousel out there and I did a little bit of shopping. Well, Just had to share my fabulouse weekend w/ all of you. And to tell Penni, thank you, so very much for lunch and for giving me a little of your time, I really loved meeting you, you are just fabulous. Ya'll have a great day, I better get to work, my boss comes back to town tomorrow, so I have to clean her desk off today. Yuck!!!

I know she is just wonderful, I can't believe more of my bansters on here aren't interested in my visit with her, cause I'm sure still excited about having met her. She is so caring and compassionate to each and everyone of us on this board, so it was truly my pleasure to meet her. And she bought me and my three kids lunch, so that's how much more wonderful she is, she also put up with my four year olds twenty million questions and still kept a smile on her face. Well, I'm disappointed that more people haven't responded to my wonderful post about meeting Miss Penni.

No, Penni lives in California, but she came to Orlando, Florida to spend the holiday weekend w/ her daughter and son-in-law. So since I am only a couple of hours away I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to meet her and we did. It was wonderful.

      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.
