Hi Everyone,

I guess I will close out this string; we had a wonderful group today and I think Felicia may try to put something together for December. So look for our new thread - on a December get together.

We had 3 new people today: Cassie and her husband, Steve, and Purple Sloane. As always we had a good time and shared our stories and our news.

I am so glad we put this group together and that it has been so helpful to so many of us!!

Remember, everyone is welcome to join us. Just respond to our open invites!

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!!!:laugh:

Thanks everyone! Steve and I had a great time today and we will see you next month (or whenever the next one is...)

Felicia and PurpleSloan...I'll be in touch. Maybe we can find a fun activity to make a habit. I've always wanted to learn how to play golf... anyone else?

If not, we can stick to other normal things. I'm up for trying new things though so let me know if you think of anything.

YES!! I love golf! I have had lessons when I was a kid, and my first job was as a beer girl on the golf course at home. Hell, my older brother's initials were almost PGA! LOL (Dad was a huge golf fan, can you tell?)

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do that. I am not making any promises on how I play *now* but I would love to do it!

I had so much fun yesterday, and I am so glad I met you guys.

Here's the (cell phone) pic of the group yesterday:

Hootie, Judy (standing), Mary, George, Margy, Purple (hiding), Felicia, Steve, Cassy

      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.
