I'll be bringing some of my larger 3x size Christmas shirts, sweaters, adn things that no longer fit if anyone needs those sizes for the holidays! I could use a couple 2x Christmas things if anyone is past that stage by that mid-November point.

Heather -- I wore the pretty salmon-pink colored coat you gave me and it buttons up the front beautiful and is really cozy! Thanks so much. I can't wait until I too can show where it has room to spare or can wrap around me extra inches! Congratulations on how far you've come since last winter.

Kenna called me. She is 2 weeks out of surgery and has lost a total of 30 lbs. She is on mushy food. Dr Tell from Riverside Fresh Start is doing a speech at her place (Barix i think) for the surgeries. She is going to that on saturday morning.

How is everyone else?

My band is loosening up... Im ready for thanksgiving and then Im going to get one last fill for the year.

Hi everyone!

Wow, it's been a bit since I've talked to all of you. I am hoping to finally be able to make a meeting. It's been tough for me to get there and I really wish I could have made it to the fashion show. I'm so proud of all of you!

I hope to be there in November!

Ahhh that's so exciting! Make sure to take a picture of you in it now (or I can do it for you!) so that you can have a picture of you after wearing it before you pass it on :-)

I'm going to try to post a few pics to this post... fingers crossed!

It is looking doubtful that I can make it Saturday due to needing to get my hair done way out east Columbus and see my Mom. Hope all goes well.

P.S. Heather I think you were the one who gave me a great red OSU shirt with Ohio State in white felt letters and I have that on today and it looks great!

Just a heads up for everyone... I was at the mall tonight and saw that our normal area is set up as an art show with no seating so look for us in the seating area next to the Great Indoors across from Le Petite Bistro instead of the section by Chik-fil-a.

See you tomorrow!

Patrick, best wishes for your upcoming happy day! I'm so excited for you and can't wait to hear about it!!

      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.
