Recommended Posts

I just registered - I am coming alone. I won't be banded until January, so I'm really hoping to learn a lot!

Will the clothing be exchange only or will it be like a garage sale where they might be purchased? I don't think I am driving so no extra baggage.

Any news on how the clothing exchange will work - I will try to bring some on hangers - but I would love to know what to expect - might determine how many clothes I bring. Will it be like a garage sale - you can buy the items cheap, will it be - you bring and donate all yours and then take what items you want. Is there a limit?

Here's the hotel info from an earlier post -

Wyndham DFW Airport North

4441 W. John Carpenter Freeway

Irving, Texas 75063

Can't wait! Wish I were already banded so I'd have something to contribute to the clothing exchange. :thumbdown:

I am definately going too. Wonder if we are supposed to get a confirmation on our sign up for the conference? Guess I could email Coachcher. I am looking forward to this as well.

The Clothing exchange will be available for everyone who wants to participate. No purchasing of the clothes will take place.

Whatever we have left over I will donate to a local women's shelter here in the DFW area.

Everyone who has signed up is on the list. All you need to do is go the registeration table to pick up your name tags.

I am so excited and looking forward to meeting everyone.

You don't have to be banded to contribute to the clothing exchange. Bring what you don't think you will be wearing much longer and pick up some smaller sizes so you will be prepared once you start losing weight.

      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.
